The Pitt. Not usually a medical show guy but the acting and realism were top notch. Kept me hooked the whole way. Deserved that Emmy for sure.
Quick pitch: Follow an ER team throughout a shift, with each season being one single shift. Every episode is an hour. ER is understaffed like they all are, you bounce from one crisis to the next to the next. There is absolutely no medical situation they will not show uncensored in full.
This is sort of why I can’t watch it. I appreciate the realism but it felt like being back at work. I watch TV to decompress. Props to them for getting medical right though!!

I mean, I appreciate realism. But I’ve seen too many clips from actual doctors saying The Pitt is too real and I don’t need that in my life.

I mean I guess it depends how squeamish you are.
I don’t care much about the gore. But the stress, sadness and drama of an emergency room aren’t something that spark joy in me.
