I'll double down on this. Hell, when there wasn't much doubt in the Oregon game yesterday I watched another episode.

I believe there are 15 in season one. I saw that season two premiers this month.

When I saw The Pitt announced I thought, "another ER."

About 10 years ago there was a medical drama title Code Black that was a take off of a documentary about the nation's busiest ER; Angles as I recall the name. I caught that series over the summer, 10 years late, but I enjoyed the show.

When I said, "another ER?" Yeah, that wasn't correct.

It's 24 and Code Black had a kid. One episode represents one hour.

The "charge nurse," Dana, is one I recognized right off the bat. I couldn't place her until looking up her bio. It was Longmire.

Weird thing. I noticed she had been married to French Stewart; ya know, the 'radio' in 3rd Rock from the Sun. Weird guy. BUT then I noticed she'd also been married to Dennis Hopper. Weird guy. Good lord, the dichotomy between those two.
 
I started the new The Day of the Jackal yesterday (Netflix, Flixxerz, SFlix.) Episode one made me start looking for my copy of the book. I'm though four now and it's got my attention.

Worth the time. 'twasn't too bad at all.

One more thing on The Pitt. There's a warning at the beginning of nudity in a medical situation. This is true. HOWEVER, one of the scenes was a lady giving birth. And yes, if you are wondering, it was a close up shot of the head emerging...bald head coming through a spider web.

Another thing I didn't have on my Bingo card for 2026.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I'll never forget the first time I saw childbirth. I had not started my "medical" career journey. I had been an x-ray service guy for about 10 years and been around a lot of medical, but not in the clinical aspect. I was on a mission trip to Honduras and a buddy of mine was in his "internship" and was doing OB/GYN at a regional hospital in La Ceiba, Honduras. Let's just say, it was eye opening to say the least.


On a side note. I was about to start watching The Pitt. I just finished up The Wire. I always heard how good it was, but never took the time. I tried several years back but couldn't get into it. It has been a great series.

My first was my kid. Wife and I had agreed I'd stay up near her head as I had no interest in being further down during that event but dr kept telling me I had to see this. Some things can't be unseen.

We watched it a few months back... I had to force myself through it. I'll be interested to hear your take. Very, very minor spoiler.... After watching it, it appears Pittsburgh is a very dangerous city with an out of control white crime rate. Hopefully in season 2, they call in the National Guard to straighten all that out.

I find that take odd.

Of the dude that punched her? Never saw the shooter. If that's your take, I guess we can say the black population in Pitts are mostly nuts satisfied with a sandwich? No black first years though there's Hindu, on the spectrum, country white, Puerto Rican ...

Just find it really hard to believe that was very representative of a random shift in a Pitt ER. The entire show had an underlying woke (for lack of a better word) thread woven through it. Which is why it was so predictable. IMO

There are parts I can attest are accurate. I can't speak for the trauma related scenes. I'll have to think about the "undercurrent" you mention. They knocked the ol' "diversity" ball out of the park. Is that where the thought comes from?

That's under the umbrella of it, they definitely filled up the diversity bingo card.

That's one of those things we where can only shrug. When the Actors Guild said to qualify for an award you had the check the boxes...it was gonna happen unless the directors/producers just don't give a damn. Amidst all of that it's a little crazy it was the charge nurse that won the Emmy.

I highly recommend The Pitt. Amazing series.
 
Turn on the TV for a little background noise and on the front/Home page of Hulu I see...

Pole to Pole with Will Smith.

Strangely, unironically, apropos.
 
The last shows I watched were 1923 and 1883 (both part of the Yellowstone world, just in case someone didn't know). Both were excellent. But man, the last 2 episodes of 1883 were just gut-wrenching for me.

I wish Yellowstone was on Paramount. It's on Peacock, but I'm not going to buy a subscription just to watch 1 series. The new "Y" series, Marshals, will be on Paramount. So I'll probably get into that when it comes out.
