TV Streaming series to talk about.

Like a man who pee pees sitting down, I often look away when the show gets gory.

My biggest "knock" on (reservation about?) The Pitt is that it feels like a show designed to compete with phones. Since every episode juggles 8 cases, every salient moment in every case gets its 60 seconds of screentime before the show cuts to the next case to keep me interested. That's not a new strategy in American film and television storytelling, but it feels even more intense when I'm watching The Pitt.

I think you're wildly underestimating the length of those "60 seconds." The Pitt employs approximately zero non-diegetic soundtrack and a lot of pretty long takes without any cuts -- those are not the strategies of a show that's trying to appeal to short-form content consumers, even if you're flipping between a lot of different cases at once. rather than allowing the viewer to pay half attention because nothing on screen really matters, it's trying to get you to pay full attention because everything matters, the way the doctors have to commit the whole of their faculties to every patient they see - split time can't mean split effort.

Doctors and nurses who work in emergency departments say The Pitt is the most accurate depiction of the ER they have seen on TV.

Yes, my nurse daughter says the same.

They have actual doctors on staff to help the writers.

And the nurse that was taken away by the ICE agents, is a real ER nurse at his day job.
