So, am I the only one whose watched this absolute masterpiece on Max?
It's 15 episodes and it is far and away, the most accurate depiction of a modern ER on television.
Headed by Noah Wiley, who is apparently referred to as Dr. Daddy by the cast, it is hard hitting, emotionally raw, and fantastic.

Personally, for me, I love that they have an openly autistic doctor. Dr. King. She has a sister who has a more pressing form of autism, but Dr. King is not a stereotype nor is she useless. Frankly, I have never seen autism so genuinely presented along with the contributions they make.

I would highly recommend this show to anyone even mildly interested in medical drama.

Yeah, I just can't. We're not all savants. We're all not that super awkward. It feels like after Sheldon and now this guy that the accepted autist is always some kind of weird genius who needs to be taken care of socially.
Add in RFK's recent remarks and it seems that you're either this super genius or you're a corner rocker. Doesn't seem to be much room in between for nuance. Dr. King in the Pitt has that nuance. She's clearly got some differences in social situations, but she's smart and caring and dedicated. Not 'I magically know the answer' smart, but regular "I studied my ass off and know my jive" smart.


And thats part of the appeal of the show. It is so stupidly realistic. And it goes hard into the issues of medical professionals, the stress, the pain, the PTSD and everything else. There's a ton of Youtube videos of doctors and nurses doing commentary and they all say the same. Aside from a bad depiction of CPR, this show is super accurate. Like, triggering flashback levels of accuracy.
