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.

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 Matheus F I love all the scenes that Noah Wyle and Shawn Hatosy are in, what a perfect duo! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Davey M This was, one of, if not the best show in 2025. Enjoyed the premise and showed the inner workings of the ER. I was in an ER in New Hampshire and asked if anyone one saw the show. They said YES! The nurses pointed out to me it was spot on accurate and gave it passing grades. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Asad F One of the best medical TV shows I have ever seen. As a medical professional, the medical accuracy in this show was a breath of fresh air. The show did a phenomenal job of depicting the mental and personal struggles that are faced every day by those working on the frontlines. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Ahmad A Easily the best show of 2025 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review John C. 10/10 - I don’t like medical show BUT I was glued to my tv with this one Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
