Audience Says

You might not want to spend time at The Pitt as a patient, but as entertainment, it’s one hell of a gripping show -- grounded, intense, and emotionally powerful.

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.

All in all, it was a very sharp season of television with outstanding performances across the board.

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.

S1 of the Pitt got my ass, who's never watched a medical drama in his life, incredibly invested in the 15 hour shift that these struggling doctors work everyday(and also made me grateful I've never had a trip to the ER)

As a physician, the last thing I want to watch is a medical series; however, this one is truly engaging. The performances are excellent, especially Noah Wyle’s. Some technical details don’t feel entirely accurate to me, but I understand that it’s a TV series, not a documentary.

One of the best medical drama shows I have ever seen on television.

This is a very entertaining show. It's shot quite well and the acting is top notch. Many interesting and likable characters. The plot is often quite outlandish and sometimes the shots of medical procedures are a bit too graphic and gory - but this show is certainly worth watching. The lead actor, Noah Wyle, is truly fantastic.

The first season of The Pitt delivers an intense and emotionally grounded portrayal of hospital life. Rather than idealizing the medical environment, the series embraces its harsh reality, immersing the viewer in constant tension and emotional weight. The performances are a major strength, especially Noah Wyle, whose acting is truly outstanding. He brings depth, vulnerability, and authenticity to his character, making even the quiet moments feel powerful. His performance alone elevates the series and anchors its emotional core. The hospital atmosphere is gripping, filled with urgency, fatigue, and unspoken sorrow. Many scenes leave the viewer feeling anxious or deeply saddened, a testament to how effectively the show builds its mood. By balancing medical drama with emotional realism, The Pitt succeeds as a compelling and impactful first season that resonates long after the final episode.

Not your typical medical show. Great characters, harrowing scenarios, and funny when it needs to be. Some dialogue and certain moments fall into old tropes at times, but it's a minor blemish when everything else is S tier.
