If you are looking for a grounded medical show now that The Pitt is over...

Posted by Extension-While7536

I recommend the following: \-[Lenox Hill](https://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=mcafee&type=E210US752G0&p=LENOX+HILL+SERIES), a Netflix medical documentary series that came out during COVID about an ER doctor, two surgeons, and an ob/gyn at NYC's Lenox Hill Hospital. It got tons of praise for its realism and humanity when it came out. [Five Days At Memorial](https://www.google.com/search?q=five+days+at+memorial&sca_esv=e42243e293ad428e&sxsrf=ANbL-n5h_JXHN4o0ukFh9hBm-0JQv2xfwA%3A1776994057085&source=hp&ei=CcfqafqeA8r8ptQPkLaH-Ag&iflsig=AFdpzrgAAAAAaerVGQZ2V-Xy7WnEMUOK64WNW1-bM5di&ved=0ahUKEwi6x6fcqoWUAxVKvokEHRDbAY8Q4dUDCCE&uact=5&oq=five+days+at+memorial&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhVmaXZlIGRheXMgYXQgbWVtb3JpYWwyBRAuGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEC4YgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAESOQRUG9YpA9wAXgAkAEAmAFeoAGGDKoBAjIxuAEDyAEA-AEBmAIWoAK8DagCCsICChAAGAMY6gIYjwHCAhEQLhiABBixAxjRAxiDARjHAcICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwHCAg4QLhiABBixAxjRAxjHAcICCxAuGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIOEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYigXCAgsQABiABBixAxjJA8ICCBAuGIAEGLEDwgILEAAYgAQYkgMYigXCAhQQLhiABBixAxiDARjHARiOBRivAcICDhAuGIAEGMcBGI4FGK8BwgIOEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYyQPCAggQABiABBiSA5gDEvEFbv_UrFEkcgOSBwQyMC4yoAfGjAKyBwQxOS4yuAepDcIHCDAuMi4xNy4zyAeKAYAIAA&sclient=gws-wiz), a 2022 thriller miniseries about a New Orleans hospital in crisis when Hurricane Katrina makes landfall. Stars Vera Farmiga and Cherry Jones. [And The Band Played On](https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AwrEmulkx.ppYAIA0oRXNyoA;_ylc=X1MDMjc2NjY3OQRfcgMyBGZyA21jYWZlZQRmcjIDc2ItdG9wBGdwcmlkA2QzVFdKb3NHUjRtVXo3em1yY2pZREEEbl9yc2x0AzAEbl9zdWdnAzEwBG9yaWdpbgNzZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tBHBvcwMwBHBxc3RyAwRwcXN0cmwDMARxc3RybAMyNgRxdWVyeQNBTkQlMjBUSEUlMjBCQU5EJTIwUExBWUVEJTIwT04lMjBIQk8EdF9zdG1wAzE3NzY5OTQxNjQ-?p=AND+THE+BAND+PLAYED+ON+HBO&fr=mcafee&type=E210US752G0&fr2=sb-top), the HBO all-star drama about the researchers who helped discover the AIDS epidemic in America. Matthew Modine stars the main researcher leading the team, and if you enjoy the Pitt for its competency and heart, this is a film you'll want to watch. [This Is Going To Hurt,](https://www.google.com/search?q=this+is+going+to+hurt&sca_esv=e42243e293ad428e&sxsrf=ANbL-n5_BO-g3Wd5wGPzf_H7j_yF3eoNJQ%3A1776994669587&source=hp&ei=bcnqafqCIviIptQPqNiZUA&iflsig=AFdpzrgAAAAAaerXfR_aveU-6coXp3FMHE3AU_VmT7Zx&gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0LDQyLjMySjMxYPQSLcnILFYAovT8zLx0hZJ8hYzSohIA0-cL5w&oq=this+is+going+to+hurt&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhV0aGlzIGlzIGdvaW5nIHRvIGh1cnQqAggAMgUQLhiABDIFEC4YgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEC4YgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABEjaFlAAWOYMcAB4AJABAJgBYqABnAuqAQIyMbgBAcgBAPgBAZgCFaACrQzCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICDhAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGIoFwgIOEC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYxwHCAg4QLhiABBixAxiDARiKBcICERAuGIAEGLEDGNEDGIMBGMcBwgILEC4YgAQYsQMYgwHCAggQABiABBixA8ICFxAuGIAEGLEDGMcBGIoFGI0GGI4FGK8BwgIIEC4YgAQYsQPCAhQQLhiABBixAxjRAxjHARiKBRiNBsICGhAuGIAEGLEDGIMBGMcBGIoFGI0GGI4FGK8BwgILEAAYgAQYkgMYigXCAggQABiABBjJA8ICFBAuGIAEGLEDGIMBGMcBGI4FGK8BmAMAkgcEMjAuMaAH_6sCsgcEMjAuMbgHrQzCBwgwLjEuMTkuMcgHa4AIAA&sclient=gws-wiz) a BBC dark comic series about the work of OBGYN doctors at an NHS hospital.

ER aged like fine wine

realchoice Apr 24, 2026 -14
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.

cherrybounce Apr 24, 2026 +12
Accurate???

cherialaw Apr 24, 2026 +1
The Pitt is more accurate with much stronger writing, acting and production

realchoice Apr 24, 2026 -1
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.

ThreeTreesForTheePls Apr 24, 2026 -1
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).

This is Going to Hurt is excellent and devastating.

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.

Five Days at Memorial is insanely good. My entire family was sobbing watching this.

Code Black was great but only for the first season

Emergency NYC is also from the creators of Lennox Hill, both are fantastic docuseries.

Scrubs is back.

Dohi64 Apr 24, 2026 +5
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?
2
Dohi64 Apr 24, 2026 +3
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.

Lennox Hill is great. There is a similar show about Jon's Hopkins. Very well done documentaries.

Saving Hope for me is good too!

lekkman100 Apr 24, 2026 +1
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.

Interns (Hippocrate) is a great French series. Bodies is fab UK series about a dodgy surgeon.

Scrubs ain’t half bad. Mostly lighthearted but it has its moments

This is Going to Hurt is phenomenal and has one of the most (to me) profoundly affecting events occur in it. I loved that show.

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

Extension-While7536 Apr 24, 2026 +3
You think most celeb documentaries feel realistic?  Many docs these days are by the numbers tributes to their subject.
3
MySmellyRacoon Apr 24, 2026 -3
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.
-3
Extension-While7536 Apr 25, 2026 +2
Because so many celeb docs are tributes not realistic warts and all depictions of their subjects.

MySmellyRacoon Apr 25, 2026 +1
Stop watching shitty documentaries because I don’t have this issue.

The Pitt isn't "over". "The Pitt has been renewed for a third season on Max, expected to premiere around January 7, 2027".
-7
Extension-While7536 Apr 24, 2026
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.
