Everyone’s favorite ER superstar, Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle), continues to balance patient, staff, and personal crises in the second season of The Pitt, HBO Max’s Emmy-winning smash hit about the men and women manning the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
Once again taking place over the course of a single fifteen-hour shift on an insanely busy and stressful July 4, R. Scott Gemmill’s series (January 8) doesn’t try to one-up its bracing debut, slowly easing its way back into the brand of overwhelming health-care mayhem that made it last year’s breakout small-screen drama. Nonetheless, by its midway point, it hits a comfortably uncomfortable groove, all while further developing a terrific cast of characters whose heroism is as understated as it is inspiring. Avoiding the sophomore slump, it’s the most harrowingly realistic medical show on TV—and, also, the most empathetic.
