F or the past four months, The Pitt has shown why medical television shows have an enduring appeal. Combine overworked and sometimes feuding doctors with patients arriving to a crowded emergency room on the worst day of their lives, and the stakes really couldn’t be higher.

The first season of the must-watch series, which comes from two of the writers of ER, climaxed with a mass shooting at a fictional music festival that pushed the medical professionals to their physical and emotional limits.

I recently got hooked on ‘The Pitt,’ a medical drama that dives deep into the chaos of an emergency room. It’s intense, real, and keeps you glued to the screen with its raw look at doctors under pressure.
