Summary

Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney work the overnight shift at the emergency room to recap the two-episode premiere of ‘The Pitt,’ the Max original series from much of the creative team behind ‘ER.’ They discuss it as a spiritual successor to the popular ’90s drama, their relationship with the medical procedural genre, and how its high-concept premise is executed (1:35). Along the way, they talk through their favorite and least favorite characters so far (24:15). Later, they consider whether the barrier to entry is too high for the show to widely catch on (36:31).
