I agree, I immediately thought it looked a lot like ER, with the insanely fast pace at which high-stress cases present themselves, every patient coding at once, the way they treat each other, local lovable crazies, “sassy” nurses, etc. and that is before I recognized the actor.
This is just not true. The Pitt has had just as much interpersonal drama from episode 1.
In the first episode the primary character is dealing with PTSD from his mentor dieing in Covid…
ER also had just as much medicine and social issues. Hell one of E.R.’s most celebrated episodes “Labor’s lost love” is about the ER being over run, understaffed and the ER doc having to handle a case he is woefully unprepared for that led to the death of women.
I love The Pitt but it is ER2.0 and that is big reason why it is great.

ER was more of an interpersonal drama show in a medical setting. The Pitt is much more about medicine and social issues.

… For now it’s already going downhill on the interpersonal drama BS and I’m only like 4 episodes into the season
ER was all about social issues and medicine lol.
