Right. The Pitt is a traditional TV production, the type that used to be good for 23 episodes a year, where most streaming TV 'shows' these days are just long feature films broken into 7 or 8 parts and like a film take 2-3 years to produce.
I'd guess that with the success of the Pitt we may start to see more of the tradiditonal TV production type shows popping up on streaming sites over the next few years.

My wife mostly binged this and loved it. She told me about a character she loved who reminded her a lot of me, and I was like "yeah right" because I've never really felt represented by a fictional character before.
Anyway I am making my way very slowly through the season (I think I might be partway through episode 5 or 6 currently?) and holy crap she was not wrong, I feel like I can accurately predict everything Dr. King is going to do or how they will react because I would do or react the exact same way, it's honestly eerie.
Oh and also show good

So, I'm coping this from reddit and you can choose to believe it or not. Episode 7 spoilers
fxryker-I’m friends with and used to work with a physician who is known for specializing in helping autistic patients. I myself am also autistic, and worked as an EMT and ED tech before medical school
Also before medical school I volunteered with their clinic and they would ask me about my experience working with autistic patients. A couple years later I just met up with them because they were my interviewer for a research study about autism that I joined, and they told me that they consulted for “this show called The Pitt, have you heard of it?” and instantly I was like “yeah my fiancée and I binged the whole thing!”
They then said “remember in episode 7 when Dr. King treated the autistic patient?” and that’s when I started putting two-and-two together:
When my fiancée and I watched that scene, about a non-pharmacological approach to patient care that involved an autistic physician using their lived experiences to treat another autistic patient, I literally turned to her and said “that’s crazy because I would do the same exact thing”
Well, it turns out, my friend used my story when consulting for the show! Obviously you’ll have to take my word for it because it wouldn’t be appropriate to share email chains, but I promise I wouldn’t make this up
Anyway, I just thought y’all would find that neat, I’m very happy such a large audience was able to truly experience what it’s like when autistic medical providers are able to help autistic patients

I thoroughly do not believe anyone on reddit who says they are associated with the entertainment industry, but the general notion is interesting.

What I think this show does better than anything, and especially any medical drama I've ever seen, is that every character is both deeply flawed but also deeply relatable. Like, every time a character does something that makes you go "why did you do that?" there's always eventually a "oh... that's why." Like, McKay is the poster child of this phenomenon. She'll do a thing that you'll be like "McKay you idiot!" but by the end you totally get why she did it, and you may not always agree but you can't deny she has a point.
My opinion on most of the characters throughout the show was basically a roller coaster, especially Langdon and Santos, who both rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning of the show and only one of them ended the season that low.
I think the only part of the show that really didn't work for me was the subplot with the old guy who used to work on Mr. Rogers. Yes, yes, Pittsburgh callout, I get it, you do this much better later in the show with the Freedom House, here every time it comes up it feels really awkwardly shoe-horned in. The daughter... I don't necessarily know if her acting was bad, or her writing was bad, or that as a person who has lost both parents in my 30's (one to death and one to abandonment) married to a person in her 30's who lost her mom in her 20's, I have trouble sympathizing with a 60-someodd-year-old-person essentially torturing her father because she's not ready to say goodbye yet, as unfair as that undoubtedly is. Whichever it was, she was just annoying to me from start to finish. Literally every other patient-focused subplot at least did something interesting or engaging, or showcased some aspect of the character involved. Even the annoying patients!
Mel is queen. That is all.
