The Pitt - Max

^ Yep. She's very good, and reminds me of her father.

Also the lad that plays Whitaker is Welsh, and has had a good year - as well as The Pitt, he's been a regular in Ludwig with David Mitchell and also Out There with Martin Clunes.

Really enjoying this - probably the best medical drama I've seen in a long time.

Been binge watching this over the past few days , not really in to medical dramas but loving this show.

Actually delayed watching it for a few months as didnt think it would be for me.

One of the best shows I've seen in the last year or so.

Just finished it, yeah would agree, a very good show with a lot of very good performances.

Certainly was a busy shift! If you had that every couple of days, you wouldn't be long getting burnt out

The Black Oil

First look at season 2 - January.

Watched the first five episodes it is really terrific.

Mad that it still isn't technically available here!

I am guessing the HBO Max channel launch for the UK/ireland is planning to have it early next year.

I haven't watched this - I watched a German one recently, Krank Berlin, about a failing Berlin hospital with a drug addicted, but nevertheless very competent doctor and got sick of it so I was afraid I was all hospitaled out. But glancing through the comments here, maybe this is different? I don't want to read them all in case of spoilers.

(I also watched Charité, also in Berlin, and that was brilliant, but not at all the usual modern hospital fare - it told the story of medical progress and also the war and the Wall etc all through the story of the actual hospital which is situated just on the limit bew=tween east and west Berlin. Not sure where you can see that now though. Has anyone seen that?)

Krank Berlin is nothing like The Pit. Give the first episode a go. You'll be hooked.

I'd heard about Charité and never got to watch it. We actually stayed in a hotel a couple of minutes away from it in Berlin and the actual hospital wasn't used in the series because it was too modern looking. They opted for a building in Prague instead.

I’ve read they use Prague to stand in for Paris too - I think it was in a film or maybe series of George Simenon’s Maigret.

Max is starting here next March so we should be able to watch it here then
