(ESP-ENG) The Pitt | Mental health matters - Series Review Season 2!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.

If there's one thing the younger generation is doing these days with television, it's turning everything they watch into a soap opera filled with romance and relationships between the main characters. They call it "shipping," and that, my friends, is terrible. I say this because many of these people—not all, but those who make a lot of noise on social media—didn't like this season precisely because of the lack of what I mentioned. Fortunately, the true value and appreciation of the series, which is enormous, doesn't depend on them. I think this second season is better than the first because, while the series is already realistic about mental health and the strain on the medical system as a result, the plot takes a substantial leap forward.
This new season takes place on July 4th, a holiday in the United States where people apparently go wild for fireworks and take advantage of the occasion to have barbecues and drink a lot of alcohol. All of this obviously leads to accidents of all kinds, and that's what we'll ultimately see in the 15 episodes. The format is the same: each episode is an hour of these doctors' day shift in the emergency room, so absolutely everything unfolds within that space. All the tension, drama, and stress is encapsulated within those "four walls," and that's what we, as viewers, will have to deal with.


What stands out compared to the first season? Well, here we'll see a bit more of the mental deterioration of both doctors and nurses caused by the circumstances of an emergency room. One small detail I almost forgot: the ENTIRE online/virtual system crashes due to a hack, so they'll have to work manually. That means patient histories, test orders, and everything will be done by hand. The joke of the season is that they'll be working the way Latin American doctors do every day, because yes, that's the sad reality on this side of the world. The mind can be overwhelmed by many things, but if you add to that the chaos of not knowing how to work this way, then a breakdown is imminent.
We have a new character, the attending physician who is supposed to cover for Robby during his vacation, Sepideh Moafi (Baran Al-Hashimi), a powerful figure who arrives to test Robby's temperament and self-control in an environment that tends to be under his watchful eye and decisions. This clash of personalities and egos will fill their stay, and that of the doctors around them, with tension. Adding to this, each of these characters has their own inner demons, which will surface on more than one occasion, adding even more drama to a plot already packed with the constant stream of medical cases. And indeed, in that aspect, the series remains spectacular. Since it's the Fourth of July, the cases are different, and the injuries are varied. The realism of the diagnoses and treatments remains quite high and accurate, not 100%, but certainly a very high percentage.


But as I said before, the main focus is mental health and its care. Robby and several others are on the verge of a breakdown, and how they manage it is key. The series once again highlights vulnerabilities, this time those of doctors, within a healthcare system that has its pros but also many cons. Managing the workload and responsibility, feeling important at work and not wanting to be away because life is meaningless or there are too many problems; using work as an escape is a mistake many make, and this series portrays it very well. The show is spectacular; season 2 is much more human and relatable because it delves deeper into the characters and allows those of us unfamiliar with the profession to see both its positive and dark sides. Highly recommended to everyone. The third season has already been confirmed, which is great news. This season gets a 9/10. Here's the trailer.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
