4/5

James B. @RT77017401 4d Great show,great cast. It’s enough different from other doctor shows to make it really enjoyable. See more ARNEZ C. @Arny6tearz 6d I knew doctors went through a lot but this gives such great insight as to exactly what they go through and I have so much more respect for them thanks Dr Robbie! See more René D @RT02341961 May 3 Not just a regular medical drama. The Pitt handles heavy and complex themes we may encounter on daily life that are often ignored… and it does so with a spectacular cast and a solid script. See more Zak B @zakbucknall Apr 24 Everything about The Pitt beautifully comes together to deliver one of the best medical dramas of this generation.
