About the episode

Jo and Rob head back to Pittsburgh to recap Episodes 3-6 of The Pitt. They discuss how the Max series actually works better as a binge, Noah Wyle’s strong performance as the grizzled lead doctor, and why the emergency room is the perfect setting for a workplace drama. Along the way, they point out which medical staff  member’s story line they’re most invested in and which character they’re most conflicted by. Later, they talk through Dr. McKay’s problematic oversharing.
