Honestly I find the medical drama genre boring for the most part, no shade it just isn’t my thing.
The Pitt though is just interesting to watch because it makes you feel like a nurse, it is like Moby Dick but instead of learning lots of minutae about whaling it is about nursing/healthcare.
The knick is also really good because its like old timey and deals with a bunch of wild stuff
Does it take on the trope of it being the most lucky hospital in terms of patients and their illnesses? Or is it actually realistic to what hospitals normally see?
Honestly, Scrubs was probably the most realistic in terms of this, despite being an exaggerated comedy.
I just watched the first episode, and while the things you see are medically possible and are cases you could encounter as an ER doc, the cases are dramatized and the speed at which events follow one another is insane and super unrealistic. You get maybe one of these cases in a morning and not a new super high drama case every five minutes, nor do you get to walk away to the next case without extensive documentation.
A big part of Season 2 of The Pitt was the doctors trying to get all their charting done.
Its a combination, can be tough to watch because you never know which way its going to go
It is excellent , and i love that it has more than 6 episodes…
