I NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST:
Ok so! I'm generally kind of surprised by how many people view the characters in the Pitt as being close, friends, or even for some like a family. Personally I don't feel that at all. Not in this stage of the series (we may be getting there in s3) but I don't think the characters are as close as the fans want them to be or project them as being. And I think the Pitt writers are actually saying to our faces exactly the opposite. These people are fucked, yes they care for each other but they don't look as if they know or even care to know each other on a deep personal level ( maybe besides for Mel and Langdon, Langdon × Robby, Robby × Abbott) but over all the characters seem closed off.
To me, bc we are shown these relationships only in terms of their work and at their workplace we take the life they lead in the hospital as the life they lead generally. But these characters have a life outside of the hospital, they have families, hobbies, interests, they have friends (I hope), they have a past we don't know about. And to me that's them. No body is really their work persona in their day to day living/being.
And yes we do see them having a good time together after their shift, but again it is related to the stressful day they all had again RELATED to their work. None of these people actually see each other. So I love it when some of them try to build a relationship outside of work. Bc that at least to me is real friendship, companionship, love and even family. And I don't see that yet. Nay I don't feel it. So to me they are not this big united family as some of you make them out to be ( example: santos and robby having a father x daughter relatioship, yes it is fun to do that but to me it also takes form the reality of the show) , they in fact are all incredibly isolated bc they choose to be so.
