It feels rather quaint to be sitting around in Britain waiting for the novel cultural imports of America to reach our shores. In the days of streaming, the whole world watches along together. Not so with The Pitt, the Emmy Award-winning jewel in HBO’s crown that has been tantalisingly withheld until the streaming service became available in the UK this week.
If you haven’t heard of it yet, whatever you do, for the love of God do not google it. The second season is already reaching its final arc, and The Pitt experience is best enjoyed entirely spoiler-free. Just watch it, a single episode every week for 15 weeks. The simple yet perfect premise is that each episode follows roughly an hour in a 12-hour shift for the overworked and stressed-out doctors, nurses and support staff of an emergency department (that’s A&E to us Brits) at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
