The Pitt

[Lord Voldemort]

Surprised there isn't a thread already, I'm obsessed with this show. Binged the whole first series in one weekend!

Why am I only just finding out that Dr Mel is Bryan Cranston's daughter. Bloody love Dr Mel.

mel is my favourite 🥲 (i love that bryan cranston has a mel keyring and lots of mel merch - it’s so sweet).

i was also surprised to see that it’s patrick ball’s first ever acting credit. when i first watched it i immediately googled him (because ) and he had literally one law and order thing from years ago. he’s so good as langdon.

(also, as a welsh person, amazed that the guy who plays whittaker is from barry island )

Santos really is a brat isn’t she.

I can’t stand her! She just strops about sticking her chin out the whole time

I’m glad other people can’t stand Santos, she’s so self righteous.

Am up to date with season 2 now, I thought the parts with Dana and the rape victim were so well done. She’s a wonderful character.

 

[Silverback]

The ICE situation is completely true to life unfortunately. They really do cover their faces and they really don’t let you tell your family where you are. And people really are terrified of them.

Santos probably does have a point about Langdon, what he did was very serious and most people aren’t cured after one stint of rehab. I still can’t stand her jutting out chin and narky attitude though, she can get in the bin.

 

[I got up at 5am]

Robbie isn’t stable enough to take care of a cardboard box never mind a baby.

 

[Aussie]

Spoiler: Baby Jane Doe

Robbie is surely going to foster this baby instead of going away

 

[Aussie]

I love this show. Dr Mel is my absolute favourite along with Dana

 

[Ablemabel]

I feel like the ICE guy would have been told to remove his mask.

Also, so if you know someone you just get straight in - Mel and her sister, Robbie and his mate? Such care seems taken with realism, and they’re not doing the usual medical soapy storylines, so it just brings me out a bit. But I suppose given it’s solely based in the department they have to bring characters lives into the place so we get a rounder sense of them. But still, niggles a bit.

Yes there are a few bits that I think wouldn't happen, but I am still loving it. I'm so annoyed ' I'm up to date now!

Santos can get in the bin with her moral outrage about Langdon.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

So glad I found this thread ~ I'm ADDICTED!!! But I'm seriously concerned about how I'm going to cope now that I've binged all of the available eps on Now and have to wait for the weekly drops

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Robbie isn’t stable enough to take care of a cardboard box never mind a baby.

Yeah, that did occur to me too

I’m not convinced he has the bandwidth to be the primary carer for a baby.

 

[thenewblack]

Overall, I really enjoyed series 2, it was less “manic” than series 1 but I think the focus on mental health and burn out was really well handled.

And there was plenty of Dr Abbott, which pleases me

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

I think the ‘real-time’ versus ‘viewing time’ issue makes Santos look like she’s holding a long-term grudge, when in reality it’s only been a few hours of Langdon’s first shift back and they possibly haven’t actually spent a huge amount of time together.

Roddy was pretty pissed off about him being back too, but because that was at the start of the shift it feels like it happened ages ago.

The weekly drop of the real-time episodes makes it hard to stay fully invested in the various cases. I keep forgetting there’s an abandoned baby as she only gets mentioned every couple of episodes.

 

[IfTheCapFits]

i got through s2 in about 3 days, what an emotional ride! enjoyed it just as much as the first, excellent acting all round, can't really think of one weak character or performance, hope s3 is in the works!

 

[Silverback]

I am never ever going down a water slide again.

You should watch a documentary called Class Action Park! Then you’ll definitely never go down one again.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

I wondered the same, but his long hours at the hospital might get in the way.

It was a good season. I must admit I did miss there being a big gnarly event like the shooting in season 1, but I enjoyed the character’s storylines and Robbie is just

I couldn’t decide if they were setting that up a bit too obviously: his comment earlier about thinking he’d have a wife & kids by now, & someone (I forget who) saying it wasn’t too late; Dana hugely pushing the kinship adoption thing amongst the staff; that moment at the end where he’s holding her & telling her she’s going to be alright - felt like it was being signposted so massively it’d be visible from space!

But I thought the same about the hospital hours: he’d need some hellishly flexible and open-ended childcare arrangements.

 

[Rayne]

Just watched both seasons over the last few weeks. The best bit of the whole show was when Dr Parker Ellis and Dr Shen collected the dead old man from the waiting room and pretended he was still alive to the guy sat next to him

Haven’t seen gaslighting like that since I last went to the doctors

I was sad we didn’t get much of Dr Parker Ellis as she is always sassy in the little screen time she gets, but she’s supposed to get a bigger role season 3.

 

[Smca53]

Has anyone followed the sheer chaos online about the character of Dr Mohan not being brought back next season? People are going nuts, writing extensive pieces about alleged misogyny and racism. It’s wild.

I like the set up of the show where cast members will come and go regularly. Like everyone, I have my favourites (hi Langdon, hi Whittaker, hi Mel… hi Abbot 🫦), but I want a good show more than anything else so if they have to be rotated out at some point to keep it fresh, so be it
