‘The Pitt’ Faces Stiff Competition From Hulu’s 2-Part Medical Series

Procedurals, whether they be cop dramas, firefighting thrillers, or medical dramas, remain some of the most popular shows on TV, as they have been for years. HBO Max has released one of the unique takes on the medical drama genre to come in the last few years with The Pitt, which stars former ER veteran Noah Wyle alongside an absurdly talented ensemble of stars. The show was written and created for TV by ER producer R. Scott Gemmill, and each of the first two seasons takes place over only one day at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, with each episode covering only one hour. This was viewed as a major gamble in the months leading up to The Pitt’s release, but now it’s known as the part of the show that sets it apart from its competitors.
