The Tom's Guide Verdict: 'The Pitt' episode 211, '5:00 P.M.'
- Rating: ★★★★★ stars
- Verdict: "5:00 P.M." is a masterpiece. This is the ICE episode that's long been teased to arrive this season, and even I couldn't have anticipated the way it went. But that's just the tip of the iceberg; one of several devastating storylines this episode delivers.
- Where to watch: Stream "The Pitt" episode 211, "5:00 P.M." on HBO Max now
"The Pitt" season 2 has been one of my most anticipated shows of 2026, and it's mostly delivered on that promise. It's easily one of the three best shows of 2026 so far, alongside "Industry" season 4 and "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" (what a year for HBO!). But up until now, I haven't felt that it's delivered quite the highs as season 1 did.
