This goes without saying, but The Pitt is one of the best shows on TV right now. Whenever a new episode drops on the 2026 TV schedule, I make sure to watch it as soon as possible. Though multiple storylines have my attention in the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series’ second season, there’s one that’s hitting home for me: the frayed friendship shared by Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch and Dr. Frank Langdon following the big reveal about the latter’s drug addiction last year.
As someone who has been impacted by drug addiction (a friend’s, not my own), this ongoing struggle between the one-time close friends is striking a chord and forcing me to take a look back at what happened all those years ago and how I wish I had handled things differently. I just hope that Robby doesn’t make the same mistake I did.
