Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

I have not been much of a jeopardy viewer in the Ken Jennings era, but this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in Something like 40 years of watching that show on and off

The central creative conceit of the show is that you have absolutely no clue whether anyone is ever interacting with anyone else sincerely or if they’re just running game.

Sorry, that was too much usage. THE PITT is a combination of subtle performances and old school TV bullshit, which makes it so remarkably effective as a contemporary TV show and a nostalgia delivery vehicle.

The irony, as a guy who likes writing about TV and movies with an emphasis on performance, is that David Krumholtz was brilliant on ER.
But the fact remains that folks with schizophrenia are dangerous to themselves and nobody else. Sometimes it’s treatable, sometimes not. But it always sucks.

I have at least two friends who have died from adult-onset schizophrenia.
It is one of the most complicated, awful things in the world.
THE PITT corrects/supplements a famous performance in ER the depicted a violent schizophrenic who commits murder. This depiction looks far wiser.

This show is such a comical combination of very subtle performances welded onto some old school tv tricks.
Biker guy on The Pitt: “Four wheels moves the body but two wheels moves the *soul.* You’re gonna be in *heaven.* The trip sounds to *die* for.”
Dr. Robby: “Yes I think I will live a long time.”

“Let’s get back on the horse” is a v funny and gently fucked up thing to say to a guy who has gotten sober from benzos.
Yet another example of a line only this actress as Dana could pull off.
