When ER – Doctors on the front line meet 24. The TV series that is trying to revive the glories of medical drama, one of the most successful genres and rooting of American seriality, is a breathless journey into the very structures of a healthcare system in difficulty, where emergency becomes the rule and the stress of doctors and nurses is the true crux of the story.
In The Pittan HBO series, stress is the real narrative engine of a content that reduces frills to a minimum and other more extended narrative lines. We are in the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital and Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) is dealing with emergencies and the training of young interns.
Noah Wyle, center, is the protagonist of the series “The Pitt”
The one-hour episodes (there are fifteen of them, in a return to a long series) are races against time in which anguish, emotions and technique mix with the aim of saving human lives, reminding us of the loneliness of a profession that – even in America – seems to go through moments of abandonment.
In The Pitt, the pain, blood and wounds are explicit, elements that increase adrenaline and emotional involvement.
For those who love dramas set in hospitals and medical narratives.
