The Watchers

The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 5 of The Pitt, making our “11:00 AM” rounds. Jodie and Andrea check in on Ogilvie’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, Whitaker’s continued quiet glow-up, and Santos as she gets closer to investing in Dr. Al-Hashimi’s AI startup. Plus: a gridlocked granny, some extremely Pittsburgh sports fan behavior, and why Donnie’s sink hole bet might not be as foolish as Ahmad thinks. We also dig into how this season is less about one big dramatic event and more about the less sensational long-term effects of trauma. And Jodie asks the most important question of all: if you ended up in this emergency department, which doctor would you actually want treating you, and why is it Dr. McKay?

Sorry for the late post on this one, folks, but The Watchers are back on duty! Jodie and Andrea are clocking in for another shift at PTMC to recap Season 2, Episode 4 of The Pitt. We make the rounds on our patients, learn more than anyone should about what Whitaker's getting up to on that farm, and try to determine whether Robby's dad jokes are a coping mechanism or a cry for help. Zoom zoom.
Join us every Monday as The Watchers break down each episode of The Pitt, the HBO medical drama from Noah Wyle and the team behind ER, which, may we remind you, is just a coincidence.

The Watchers are clocking in for another shift at PTMC to recap Season 2, Episode 3 of The Pitt. We issue a very serious PSA about keeping your emergency contacts updated, unpack why even Dr. Robby is completely powerless in the face of a tough Jewish woman from Pittsburgh, and note how a piece of flair manages to crack (pun intended) the case wide open on the mystery of our dearest Dana’s accent.

We’re back at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center for Season 2, Episode 2, “8:00 AM,” of The Pitt. Jodie and Andrea track the Gut vs AI debate, Santos wins the Funniest Person in the Emergency Department award, and Whitaker stars in a very bleak 50 First Dates reboot. We finally learn one single fact about Dr. Robby’s personal life, Andrea’s birthday wish comes true, and we deliver a very important PSA about personal space.

We’re kicking off Season 2 of The Pitt with our recap of Episode 1, "7:00 AM." Jodie and Andrea break down a premiere that’s as confident, efficient, and compelling as we’d hoped. Last season’s newbies feel more settled, Robby’s glasses make a strong case for themselves, and finally, we get our Jersey connection. New faces, old friends, and some subtle choices that hint at where The Pitt Season 2 might be headed.
