The first season of HBO Max's The Pit put an full of doctors,
nurses, and staff through a grueling 15-hour shift and won the show a raft of Emmy Awards.
The second season is close to an end, and while this shift has been less catastrophic in some ways,
it 's clear that everyone, including attending physician Dr. Robbie, played by Noah Wiley, is stretched very, very thin.
I'm Linda Holmes, and today on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour, we're talking about the latest season of The Pit.
Joining us today is host of NPR's It's Been a Minute, Brittany Luce.
