The Watchers

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.
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, again, is just a coincidence.
If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review.

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.

Everyone's new favorite Pittsburgh-based medical drama, The Pitt, is back for season 2 and yinz KNOW Jodie and Andrea couldn't resist a show about some overworked, highly competent folks who love each other but don't always know how to express it and share a wicked sense of gallows humor. We're recapping season 1, and then we'll be back every week to check in on our second shift at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.

This week on The Watchers, Andrea and Jodie finish up our Pluribus recap with episodes 7, 8, and 9. The hive mind plays hot and cold with the unjoined. Carol tries to make a friend. We get to see a dog! We talk isolation, loneliness, belonging. Communication barriers, trust, investigation. It''s all in here. What a show, huh? What a season.
Next week, we scale our problems down to one single shift, in one emergency department, in one hospital, in one city. Ahead of its season 2 premiere (January 8th), we’re recapping season 1 of the tense and unsentimental, deeply compassionate and totally human, medical drama The Pitt.
