The Pitt

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

The ICE arrest was a curious flash in the pan. My team mates and I are nowhere near as in the trenches bonded as this lot and we would never have settled from an incident like that (appreciate the difference being that we work on a digital transformation project ).

That really felt like it had been shoe-horned in to make a political point, and those two guys were overdone cartoon baddies. I get that that was this episodes ‘issue of the week’, but it was a bit clumsy. A bit of a bum note in a show that usually pitches it pretty right.

I think Dana might be my favourite. I adore her voice.

I can't get away Dr Al-Hashimi. I know she's supposed to be the "anti-Robby" and were supposed to find her cold & robotic, but my main issue is that she looks uncannily like Emma Watson, who I have a visceral dislike of, and I can't get past that.

I can’t find myself attracted to Langdon because I saw some woman do a cosplay of him on instagram, she did make up and she looked so like him but in such a weird way that it’s stuck with me and it’s all I see now when I look at him.

I did see how the actor said this was essentially the first big job that he booked, and, as a theatre actor, it’s very nice to be earning decent money now!

Tbf, as with everything these days, the fandom for The Pitt is weird and OTT. I’ve seen people writing smutty fan fiction about Abbott and shipping Whittaker and Dr Robby.

Did anyone see the Quinn collab Dr Abbott did? That was a stroke of genius marketing.

NOBODY ships Whittaker and Robby harder than Noah Whyle. I'm not even joking. He'll turn ANY interview into an excuse to talk about it, from the fanfic to the fanart... he'll talk about fanart the rest of us haven't even seen, I swear he's commissioned it just for himself

Indeedy - she is abrasive and hard to warm to and yep, there are reasons we don’t know (yet).

I am not attracted to Langdon but I can see has been cast as the pretty boy and the point being made.

I said this too! About one episode in particular from season one, the one with Leah, Jake’s girlfriend?

Tbh literally every episode I was like that but that episode was just so tense, wasn’t it? I was just willing Dr Robby on and then you’re like no just stop

 

[LaBlonde]

Is he?!!!!!!!

agree with you re Langdon

he is! i noticed his name in the credits and thought well that sounds incredibly welsh and was right he does a great midwest accent i would never have know.

langdon is the chin dimple and his boyband hair

Is it wrong that I am super excited about the water slide injuries that are on their way to the hospital? Things are about to get spicey

 

[Jaybtee]

just finished the second season. i really enjoy this show lol

 

[Jaybtee]

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

dr mckay is brad dourifs daughter theyre very alike

 

[Silverback]

There’s something brewing with Santos but I can’t warm to her. Not keen on Dr Al Hashimi either, she’s in therapy for something as hinted when she made that call a few episodes back but I wonder what for.

You’ll find out more about Al Hashimi in this week’s episode…

which is great by the way.

 

[Stillwater]

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.

 

[I got up at 5am]

Yeah, that did occur to me too

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

He’s a lunatic. He needs serious help

I had no idea!! But now that you mention it, I can see that they have the exact same mouth.

 

[Silverback]

Well the water slide injuries didn’t disappoint.

 

[Ablemabel]

Started watching it a few nights ago. Up to episode 5. brilliant.

 

[Stillwater]

That was quite an episode.

Jesse the nurse is the one for me. Quietly competent, always looks quite cross. Fella that plays him is a real nurse.

 

[Kerrie86]

I really enjoyed watching this, and then watching greys anatomy afterwards seemed rubbish in comparison!
I do wonder how long it would continue though with the season format of running through an entire shift. It’s a novelty and I did like it, but it feels quite limiting in terms of developing relationships (not necessarily romantic ones) as there’s so little time shown!

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

same - i LOVED the first but have struggled with the second. noah wyle is amazing in it but robby is such a difficult character to watch. and not enough mel!

also, the night shift are so much more fun than the day shift that i wish we were watching their show instead

Oooooh, they should make a sister show where we get to see the night shift after handover!

 

[LaBlonde]

As a huge ER fan I loveddddd the first series. I don’t know why the second didn’t grip me as much
