The hit US medical drama 'The Pitt', hailed by fans as superior to classics like ER, Grey's Anatomy, and House, is now available to stream in the UK following the international launch of HBO Max. The first season is available in full, with new episodes of the second season arriving weekly.
Starring and executive produced by Noah Wyle, best known for his role in ER, 'The Pitt' follows attending physician Dr Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch as he leads a team in a chaotic and underfunded emergency room in Pittsburgh. Each 15-episode season covers a single 15-hour shift, gradually revealing the complex personal lives of the characters amid the stressful demands of emergency medicine.
The series has drawn widespread acclaim, with a board-certified doctor giving it a 10/10 review, praising its accurate portrayal of emergency medicine. Fans have described it as 'ER on steroids' and 'absolutely amazing television'. The second season premiere attracted 7.2 million US viewers in its first week.
Sky is offering free subscriptions to HBO Max with its £22 Ultimate TV bundle, which also includes Netflix, Disney+, discovery+, Hayu, and around 135 channels. New episodes of 'The Pitt' air on Thursdays on HBO Max.
