Currently watching it for the 3rd time all the way through. Im a nurse and I am pretty over people praising The Pitt when ER is FAR superior and more accurate show. Minus the being made in the early 90's part.

The Pitt is more accurate with much stronger writing, acting and production

The actors in ER far outweigh the abilities of even the first 10 minutes of The Pitt. I cannot understand how anyone can swallow thr majority of canned acting going on.

Yeah as a nurse neither of these shows actually resemble anything close to realistic.
Anatomically correct? sure. Using the correct terminology? Sure. Realistic? Yeah and Swordfish is probably exactly what being a hacker is like I assume.

I once heard it said that the things that happened in ER were what you would see in a real hospital if you compressed about 5 years of drama into one shift.

The Scrubs reboot is back and honestly it's better than ever. It's nostalgic and genuinely still hilarious, while still keeping grounded in the day to day struggles of being a doctor.

I'd also say St Denis Medical is a good watch if you are open to a more comedic spin on hospital shows (NBC/Peacock, watch The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins while you're there).

The Resident was a great show
Good balance of the romance stuff with traditional medical drama. Most broadcast ones struggle to find that magic formula.
Also some fun long-running stories around budgets and the fate of the hospital.

Yeah I think I'm trying to think of stuff that's as close to documentary as possible, or even documentary but with a verite/narrative style.

Is it a procedural? I’ve thought about checking it out but I get really bored of formulaic stuff like house or ncis.

Note: HBO's Getting On is based on the UK show of the same name.

I read the book Five Days at Memorial and it's one of the most rage-inducing things I've consumed. It could also serve as a textbook on (poor) leadership.

there's also mercy from a few years ago, and while not hospital-based, dopesick is must-see.

You're speaking of NBC's Mercy with Taylor Schilling, Michelle Trachtenberg and Delroy Lindo? [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442435/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442435/) What were some things you liked about it?

yeah. it was the rare medical drama I ended up liking. don't remember much, it was a long time ago, but it deals with ptsd and stuff (taylor's character served in iraq).
I also just remembered hawthorne, starring jada pinkett smith, from around the same time. I dropped it at the beginning of season 2 (there are 3 total) but a full season and a bit is still more than I've seen of most medial shows.

I really, really like Saving Hope. I am currently doing a rewatch. To me, it's far superior to most recent medical dramas (The Resident, New Amsterdam, etc). I don't exactly have a logical explanation, but I just dig its old-school Canadian feel.

I’m laughing at the idea of a documentary being praised for being realistic. Like, no shit?

You think most celeb documentaries feel realistic? Many docs these days are by the numbers tributes to their subject.

I like the goalpost moving you did. I called you out on your insane comment that a documentary is realistic (it’s a documentary; obviously it’s realistic) so you tried babbling about celebrity documentaries…for some reason.

Because so many celeb docs are tributes not realistic warts and all depictions of their subjects.

The Pitt isn't "over".
"The Pitt has been renewed for a third season on Max, expected to premiere around January 7, 2027".

Yes I meant for the season. For those of us who've made a habit these last 15 weeks and maybe longer of it, these can fill that void. Also I think it's back to being called HBO Max now, or just HBO.
