David Sims The Atlantic It’s already without question the finest example of the genre in more than a generation. Apr 1, 2025 Full Review David Bianculli NPR Binge a few hours of "The Pitt" back to back and you'll feel as exhausted as the doctors, nurses and interns look. But stick around and you'll come to know and love these characters just as viewers of the original "ER" did. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine But for all its big names and ambitious themes, Common Side Effects feels, in the best way possible, like the kind of indie-animation oddity you might‘ve stumbled upon at 3 a.m. on ‘90s MTV. Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip A minute-by-minute struggle for life taking place in Death’s own waiting room. Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Catherine Springer CathsFilmForum.com There are so many similarities to ER, but those are mostly obvious. It’s what The Pitt does differently that makes it stand out. Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Seth Freilich Pajiba This show should be mandatory viewing for all adults past a certain age because nobody prepares us for this experience. The Pitt gets closer to embodying it than anything I’ve seen. Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
