I think people on the internet, especially in the last couple of years from what i have personally noticed, have a real problem with being uncomfortable. you love a character and then you get that "icky" feeling when they are flawed, don't act how you expect them to, don't fit into the box of your headcanon and all of a sudden it's "cringe". no, they made you uncomfortable and that is a good thing.
I saw someone say that alot of the messaging of the show was very "on the nose" specifically mentioning the jewish lady telling perla that it was "the muslims" who helped after the shooting and i agree, yes, it was on the nose, but that is also why i love the show so much.
Realistically, that is how that conversation would go down irl. Real life is cringe sometimes and when someone is trying to communicate a sentiment like that it would probably be "on the nose".
The Pitt is so beautifully predictably unpredictable. Shit goes zero to hundred real fast but not in a way that necessarily serves the storyline or heightens tension the way we would expect it to.
Things go wrong, but the incel kid didn't run into traffic, he wasn't the shooter, Al-Hashimi didn't have a stroke in her car, Robby didn't adopt the baby and he probably won't, Langdon didn't steal Whitakers Badge, we were all waiting for the "Pittfest of Season 2" and it didn't happen, we got the computer systems going down instead, Monica was probably racist and talked very intimately with the ICE agent but nothing happened and she just went home.
Alot of people were saying that the finale was bad, that it didn't really resolve anything, but i disagree. The only real question is whether Robby went on his sabbatical or not. We will find out in season 3, it doesn't even really matter, it's not like we were gonna see it anyway. Did people expect Robby to not be depressed and suicidal anymore in the final episode? Like i genuinely don't understand what questions people wanted answered having watched two season of this show and knowing how it functioned.
The characters are incredible, they are all flawed they are all messed up in different ways, we get so many great female characters especially, that aren't girlbossing their way through the ER but are real fucking people. I didn't like Al-Hashimi at all at the start of the season, especially because of the AI, but i love her now. She is an understated character and i think that is a good thing. People expected female Robby and i honestly think it's kind of reductive.
Most of the things i've seen people criticize are actually things i deeply appreciate. It's messy in a real way, realistic without being boring, absolutely binge-worthy and even better on rewatch. Because things don't always resolve, because storylines don't always pay off, it makes it so much better when they do.
We can't always be satisfied and i think that deep down people feel the intrigue in that. Otherwise they wouldn't obsess over tiny story details, "cringe" at uncomfortable moments or tear apart certain characters as they do.
