The success of The Pitt has sparked a renewed interest in underrated medical dramas, especially those that don’t play by the genre’s usual rules. With its tense hour-by-hour format, The Pitt feels more like 24 in a trauma bay than a typical hospital series - and fans can’t get enough. Its adrenaline-pumping structure, relentless pace, and bold character choices have proven that there’s still room for reinvention in a TV space that often leans on well-worn formulas. What’s more, as fans of The Pitt wait for season 2, they’re finding themselves hungry for medical shows that bring the same level of urgency and edge.
