Possibly the best way to have watched The Traitors premiere. Noah Wyle is back in the ER, thank God! It’s 2024 and I’m still talking about the Chicago movie. The Real Housepresidents of the Funeral. Smiling during a hard time.

Medical dramas don't tend to be my primary choice of TV show. But I'd be a liar if I said The Pitt didn't hook me right away. The Pitt immerses us in the high-stress environment of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's emergency department,

He's immersing himself in work, but he's doing exactly what anybody would be doing in his job on shift,' says Wyle.

Noah Wyle stars as a put-upon emergency department doctor in "The Pitt," streaming on Max. He's not a grown-up Dr. Carter from "ER," but he's close.

A medical drama going for bracing realism is anchored by a strong central performance from a veteran TV doctor.

Noah Wyle returns to the emergency room in The Pitt, a great new hospital drama on Max whose season follows one day in a Pittsburgh ER.

“The Pitt” is the derisive nickname given to the rundown Pittsburgh hospital where Wyle’s Dr. Michael “Robby” Rabinavitch leads a dedicated team through the daily horrors and miracles that comprise an ER. In a Zoom interview, Wyle noted that this return was a choice with perhaps a sprinkling of earned wisdom.

For most of ER ‘s 15-season run (1994-2009), Wyle starred as Dr. John Carter. We watched him go from his very early days as a doctor, switch from surgery to emergency medicine, become the one who “set the tone” and advised others to do the same, and return time and time again even after he’d moved on from Cook County General.

Noah Wyle is "not sorry" about playing a new doctor on The Pitt instead of reprising his role as John Carter in a now-scrapped ER revival. After The Pitt premiered on Thursday 9, Wyle, 53, was asked about how plans to bring back ER ultimately turned into an entirely new show instead.
