I first attempted to watch The Pitt shortly after the medical drama starring ER alum Noah Wyle landed on the 2025 TV schedule, but due to a bad wifi connection on vacation, it just didn’t work out. My wife and I recently binged the Emmy Award-nominated drama with our HBO Max subscription, and what a ride it was. Emotional, exciting, harrowing, and absolutely disgusting at times, this fast-paced chronicle of a single shift at a trauma center had a lot going for it.
While there are all kinds of unforgettable and astounding moments throughout the show’s first run (don’t worry, a second season is on the way), there are two specific scenes that I, as a parent, won’t ever forget, no matter how hard I try. For those who were wondering, both are from the same episode, “2:00 p.m.”
