Definitely sounds interesting and I'd definitely watch if I had MAX which I don't. Glad to see Noah Wylie back in the ER where he belongs. If he does as good a job on The Pitt as he did ER it will be a very good show.

Your comment is way off base. This show has a LOT of nurses, whose invaluable contributions are on regular display. The article doesn't give a synopsis of each character.

Looks awesome - another medical drama with one whole nurse! At least ER featured the contributions of the nursing staff. Noah Wylie apparently learned nothing from his time on ER. What a shame.
