The Pitt, set in a financially strapped emergency department in Pittsburgh, stars Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, the guy in charge of the ER for the single 15-hour shift that provides the entire setting of this season. The premise is 24-style: Each episode is one hour of the shift, which means that for the newbie doctors (played by Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Shabana Azeez, and Gerran Howell), the whole season is also their first day on the job. Because of that structure and a million other things like a lack of George Clooney and the persistent presence of cell phones, The Pitt is not ER. But even without Wyle staring mournfully at the parents of a child he could not save, The Pitt would still be the closest any medical drama has come to what originally made ER so magnetic. — Kathryn VanArendonk, “Bury Me In The Pitt”
