So the series – Chronicle of a Pittsburgh emergency room, from which Pitt, which, however, could also be interpreted as a hole/pit – It actually has many merits. The most evident, compared to a panorama of brainy plots and crime turned to the fictional biopic – is to have aimed at the report in fake sequence plan 15 hours of uninterrupted work.
A report that, despite the screams adrenaline, authentic, powerfulis actually simply slow and factualfar from the aesthetic Docu Fiction, glossy or shamelessly raw and it is, and from royal virtuosity. A winning formula together with that of familiarity with the hospital as a set, One of the most popular from TV. And precisely in this sense, upon its arrival after Peak TV, the Binge, the series that you have to wait for them to mount in the sixth episode, The Pitt It must have appeared (and appears) innovative and also nostalgic.

A little with the good style doctor Killedhere is Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle), NEVRACCHICY CENTER OF THE PIETTSBURGH TRAUMAL CENTER, but also a story in a style that breaks the style without falling into poses Arthy. Of course, it is found to divide the episodes into the hours of a working day (from 8 in the morning to 9 in the evening, for a total note of 15 episodes) It might seem like a dried game. In the dramatic progression of events, However, it is a consubstantial stratagem to the place.
Especially after the pandemic, The photos of the exhausted sanitary ware in tables on tables or go on chairs. A theme that The Pitt It is up to flashback through Robby, who is understood he has lost one of his mentors during chaos in health management.

The spectrum of Er
The references of Pitt I am after all elsewhere. For those who had lived on the moon Noah Wyle was Dr. John Carter of Er (1994-2009), who would have liked to make a sort of sequel (his post Carter career did not go very well). Received the no from the heirs of Michael Crichton, creator of Doctors on the front lineWyle and the showrunner R. Scott Gemmill (also in him in Er) they put together The Pitt. Which, to the opinion of the Michael Crichton Summer, is a discreet plagiarism of Er (a cause of copyright violation is underway).

However it goes, let’s say that from the first of the nineties to today, where you put a lane and the lives to be saved is difficult to make mistakes. It is also difficult to be originalit seems. Mto Pitt It has points of contact with models of the past that belong only to the suggestion of the place, and to a family face. Even if Er stands for Emergency Room, that is The Pitt. And oh well.
The Pittthe TV series on Sky and streaming on Now from 24 September, plot of episodes
A long day divided Between a waiting room of injured and the actual emergency room: performance. To read it like this, the synopsis of Pitt It has all the air of an improvisation exercise. As the Sitcom teaches, where the situation resumed is strongly perimeteralso for this writing and directing series they are more than fundamental.

The cast of The Pitt
It is he who opens the day on duty. And it is around him that the events that include an episode in which the emergency room is submerged by the injuries of a shooting.

Another still in which there is the suspicion that a doctor makes use of substances removed from the medicinal warehouse.
Put down like this, they look like episodes on the individual case, Instead they are peaks within a handover between characters (patients and doctors) who has the tone of hypnotic dance. Nobody is star and nobody is ever isolated for a lot. This therefore results in an atmosphere of widespread interest (which is not like looking at painting drying out but we are close to each other). AND In which anxiety is kept at medium temperature also in the scenes of medical interventions, resumed in all their frankness, yet not horrifying.
