“The Pitt” is incredible.
Let’s start there.
Thankfully though, this new Max medical drama isn’t just an “ER” reboot.
While I was certainly reminded of shows like “ER,” “House M.D.”
But those aren’t the only shows you’ll think of while watching “The Pitt.”
You’ll also be keenly reminded of “24,” because this show takes place in real time.
There’s no massive CGI, there’s no need to do homework before watching it.
It’s just well-written, well-acted and well-paced.
That’s impressive for a show that’s moving in real-time.
Another aspect of the show that impressed me so far is its balance between humor and intense drama.
To be clear, this isnota comedy-drama.
Through two episodes there’s already been one moment that will leave you heartbroken.
But I already wish I was watching more.
It’s the perfect combination of gripping and entertaining.
But I’ll be shocked if Max’s medical drama doesn’t have it beat through two episodes.
Stream the two-episode premiere of “The Pitt” tonight at 9 p.m.
