The Pitt is absolutely one of the highest-quality series of last year, employing a real-time shooting style similar to “24”, presenting a day in the ER in hour-long episodes—this ER truly deserves the nickname “The Pitt”. Speaking of which, are the medical staff’s mental health really okay?

The First Breakdown

The story begins with Robby’s day, which happens to be the anniversary of his predecessor’s death from COVID—COVID PTSD is real—and he has yet to foresee that these 24 hours will once again change his life. The show introduces Robby and several attending physicians, residents, and nurses on his team. Amazingly, even when I started watching S2 a year later, I still had vivid memories of most of them; the character development is truly well done.

Aside from the impossibly busy ER, Robby and his colleagues all seem to have personal issues to deal with. From the start, the story is shrouded in a haze of COVID PTSD, which gradually cracks and collapses with the occurrence of a shooting, and the emotional rendering is deeply moving.

The Scenes

A major selling point of The Pitt is its realistic depiction of (bloody and uncomfortable) ER medical scenes. Many medical scenes in the series are intensely thrilling, and the high-fidelity visual impact itself serves as emotional rendering. This includes but is not limited to various emergency surgeries, amputation treatments, and even on-site childbirth; in a way, the intensity is not much less than “The Boys”…

However, when S2 begins to focus on the evidence collection process for rape cases, the production maintains an appropriate distance and expresses its stance in a different way.

The filming actually feels quite documentary-like, with the camera very close to the ER (maybe a bit too close). Through the lens, viewers see the struggles of both patients and doctors.

The Second Breakdown

As it turns out, S2 is no better; an old friend dies, the chaos escalates, and Robby keeps wanting to leave but finds he simply can’t… It’s really tough for Robby.
