7 TV Shows Like 'The Pitt' That Take Place in Real Time

One of the reasons "The Pitt" is so terrific is because it plays out in real time. It's not the first show to use the immersive storytelling approach, so if you're craving more real-time rushes like the HBO hit delivers, these shows should fit the bill. Start with the save-the-world spying heroics of Jack Bauer in "24," binge Netflix's nail-biting true crime series "Adolescence," and maybe catch up with a few TV series like "Grey's Anatomy" that used the ticking clock device in one memorable episode.
