| The Pitt is, in a word, raw. If you haven’t been following along with the gritty emergency room drama, which concluded its first season yesterday, here’s the gist — the show follows a cast of underfunded, understaffed, and under-therapized emergency doctors as they deal with a day (each of the 15 episodes encapsulates an hour of the shift) of deaths, workplace drama and the trauma of providing healthcare in 2025. If this sounds brutal, bordering on unwatchable, that’s because it is. But The Pitt is also a masterful presentation of humanity, grounded by characters like Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, played by the enigmatic and impossibly soulful ER veteran Noah Wyle, and, unassuming as it may be — there’s a notable lack of versatility when it comes to hospital garb — by the costume design, as well. |
