Melanie McFarland Salon.com Binging “The Pitt” allows us to remember that we’re watching one day, and one place, where a whole lot of short-sighted and greedy legislative decisions flock, leaving it to a group of dedicated people to patch up the victims -- us -- and keep going. Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Linda Holmes NPR All in all, it was a very sharp season of television with outstanding performances across the board. Apr 11, 2025 Full Review 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 Jan Lee The Straits Times (Singapore) With a stellar cast, its gritty, realistic look at the state of healthcare in America and a relentless pace, The Pitt is simultaneously heartfelt and brutal. Rated: 5/5 Aug 14, 2025 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com One of the best streaming series of the season. Rated: 8/10 Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Denise Zubizarreta LatinaMedia.Co This show doesn’t just flirt with your worries – it drags your fears into a trauma bay, hooks them up to monitors, and lets them flatline right in front of you.

DMC M I'm only partway through season one and had to stop for a break. The acting is good, they cast this well. There's a lot of action and verry little break in it, so with all the yelling of medical terms it gets tiring. It's very realistic though even if the storyline is a little predictable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/25 Full Review Zachary M I thought it was the best Medical show I’ve ever seen , would 100% recommend and can’t wait to see more :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Harold A I could not make it past the first five minutes. It looks like a rerun of one of the many daytime soap operas like General Hospital. Surely writers can think of something more interesting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Jen S. Very clever spin on a medical drama!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Edward L 'ER' with added grit and the '24' concept of real-time narrative. Absolutely excellent and deserved the Emmy accolades. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Nicholas M. The Pitt may wear hospital scrubs, but it’s no ER—more brooding pit stop than adrenaline rush. The fun, of course, is Noah Wyle haunting his own legacy; he’s not reviving ER, just paging it like a ghost who knows the code. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
