The Pitt Review Roundup: Max Medical Drama Earns Mixed Reactions

The medical drama titled The Pitt, which is scheduled for release on January 9, 2025, has been met with a mix of positive and negative criticisms prior to its airing on Max.

What are The Pitt reviews saying?

Initial responses to the show have started trickling in, displaying a range of opinions about the Max-centered plotline. The drama has been praised as “effective” by Daniel Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter, who also commented on how skillfully it constructs its major story arcs, culminating in an eighth episode that creates a powerful emotional impact, with tears elicited that seem genuinely deserved rather than predictable.

In other reviews, Collider’s Maggie Boccella expressed that the series wasn’t particularly captivating, stating it “appears to be more tailored for binge-watching” rather than the weekly episode format Max is currently using. The critique also drew a comparison between The Pitt and ER, a linkage that has been made frequently and resulted in a lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery.

In my gaming world, I’ve come across another review by Ryan Schwartz from TVLine. Instead of copying the vibe of ER, this show stands out as the first medical drama since ER that truly focuses on the art and science of medicine rather than melodramatic storylines. As a fan of the series, he even went as far as saying it might be television’s most genuine and authentic medical drama since the one that catapulted Noah Wyle to stardom.

According to Jeff Sneider from The Insider, he’s not typically fond of medical dramas, but found himself captivated by the latest series. He likened it to a fusion of “ER” and “24”.

On January 9, 2025, The Pitt will debut on Max, airing its first two episodes simultaneously. Following this, fresh installments of the show will be available each week exclusively on the streaming platform.
