HBO's THE PITT, Episode 8... hard hitting scenes, by far one of the best shows out there. 

Anyone know when the final season of BIG MOUTH is supposed to release?

I’m not really a medical drama kinda guy, but I was finding that the drama behind the show is kinda entertaining. I didn’t realize it was originally gonna be an ER reboot. From my understanding they couldn’t get the holders of Michael Crichton’s rights for the show to sign off on it, so they basically had the writers and producers and some actors for the old show in this show, but under different names and locations and now there’s a bunch of above my head legal drama going on over the Pitt.

For me THE PITT is the ultimate in is less is more, this show could be like so many others with being an over the top dramatic mess. This series just cuts to the chase and remains a story about doctors in an ER setting, with a dash of humor from time to time to lighten the mood. I like how they borrowed from 24's concept, as in every episode is one hour of Dr. Robby's shift. 

P.S. I'm not a big medical drama show fan either, but this one works for me.
