Celebrated Square Root Day

Same for me. Just high paced, anxiety inducing yelling and screaming for an hour. So not my style when I want to chill and watch TV/movies.

I guess i just cant turn my brain off to that stuff.

The Pitt is supposedly very accurate according to some articles and videos I've seen from doctors. Of course the cases they see are heightened for dramatic effect, and half the time they need to resort to some alternate method of treatment for some reason or another.

Its the nesophobia for me (bet you never seen that word before). Any symptom I can conjure in my own anxiety riddled fatadome I call my head. Brain cancer? Now I have brain cancer. Lupus? Now I have convinced myself I have lupus.

Andor is so, so good. This is Star Wars with dirt under its nails, and honestly, it’s by far the most compelling thing the franchise has done in YEARS.
I haven’t watched season one since it first aired, and I'm glad I rewatched it. It’s refreshing how they dropped the Jedi mythos for something grittier, slower, and more human. It’s the story of working-class rebels and crooked survivors. Not Jedi legends, but people scraping by in the shadow of the Empire until they’re pushed too far. It all just works. The tension is strong in this one.

What? How can you say something like that?
Isn't Black Mirror's pull-quote "Happiness and Sunshine?"

That was up there with the most dreadful of them all. Top 3 bleak episode for me. One of those ones that I'm glad I watched but will never watch again

Yup, I did a full re-watch a few weeks ago. Aging like a fine wine it is, I really hope they crush it with the second season and equal the first one.

My mother watches the show and has worked in varying departments of health care for about 40 years. She says it is quite accurate and probably the most realistic depiction of an ER she has seen on TV - and she watches a TON of them.
I like to think of The Pitt as the medical drama for adults. It has its overplayed dramatics and convenient plot points, but it's not like what is offered on network television.

You can't do a Doc/hospital series realistically unless it's TVMA. I mean I think Nurse Jackie was, but that was a different story. Pitt is the first TVMA medical drama, as far as I know. Have not watched - it's on the list.

Edit: top 3 darkest that is

Disney accidentally made Andor epic by focusing everything on their mid, woke, half baked jedi/sith projects and movie plans and letting Gilroy do whatever he wanted with this one-off spinoff flying under the radar that no one was looking forward to in particular.
By accident and to no credit of their own, they end up overseeing best star wars related property since 1980 in the last show they expected to garner that reception.
All because they.. for ONCE didn't meddle and let someone with a fresh perspective fully take the reins and flesh out their vision.
