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"

This show is such a comical combination of very subtle performances welded onto some old school tv tricks.

“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.

Honestly, THE PITT leveled the fuck up from ER in its depiction of mental health. Like, CONSIDERABLY. Kudos to the writers and Wyle.

Peace and blessings to the recovering addict on the PITT writing staff to give a really fair, non-judgemental assessment of the body horror that is end stage alcoholism.
