Critics hail The Pitt as a fresh and compelling take on the medical drama genre, praising its authenticity, pacing, and cast.
called the series an “effective” drama, and said that it “builds its bigger storylines deftly, climaxing with a perfect storm of emotional beats in an eighth episode that generates tears that feel far more earned than I would have predicted.”found the series not too interesting, saying it “seems far more suited to the binge model” vs. a traditional episodic release that Max is doing.
In another review, TVLine’s Ryan Schwartz said the show isn’t “derivative” of ER, and instead “is the first medical drama since ER to prioritize medicine over melodrama.” Schwartz was also a fan of the series, saying it “it may just be TV’s best, most authentic medical drama since the one that made Noah Wyle a star.”
The InSneider’s Jeff Sneider was also a big fan of the series, saying he isn’t usually a fan of medical dramas, but that he “loved” the new series, which he describes as “ER meets 24.” The Pitt is set to make its premiere on Max on January 9, 2025, with a two-episode premiere. New episodes of the series will then release weekly on the streaming service.
Not a medical drama guy. Was too young to watch ER. But I LOVED Noah Wyle's new Max series THE PITT, which is like ER meets 24. It follows one 15-hour shift that unfolds over 15 episodes. Breakneck pacing. Great cast. Strong writing. Tons of gore. Highly recommended.Anthony Nash has been writing about games and the gaming industry for nearly a decade.
