S1 of the Pitt did something few shows do well: allowed us to respect and admire the protagonist while letting us in on his vulnerabilities.

We always hear on these shows how taxing the job is. But with Dr. Robby, we see the real consequences. We also see how having grace for yourself is vital

The Pitt tackled sticky societal issues while avoiding the afterschool special trap.

Much like the doctors in the show, they focused on treating the problem rather than agonizing over the diagnosis.

What controversies do you hope the show will address in Season 2?
