The Pittis Max’s latest success story that fans can’t stop talking about. The latest medical drama — which is the first in history for the streamer — debuted in January and garnered acclaim from critics and audiences alike for being the most authentic medical procedural available to watch. The show built up enough of an audience during its 15-episode first-season run that it was able to dethroneThe White Lotusatop Max’s streaming charts on more than one occasion. The series was written and created for television byR. Scott Gemmilland starsERveteranNoah Wyle. During a recent sit-down withCNN,The PittproducerJohn Wellsspoke about why he thinks the show became such a hit, crediting the smart audience and ability to tell a story that didn’t “spoon-feed” anything to its viewers:
“Audiences are very literate about story and about character, andwe don’t have to spoon-feed [them]. You can give little bits and hints and I think it’s enjoyable for the audience members to figure things out about people in the same way that we try and figure things out about people that we just meet.”
Audiences appreciate being treated with respect and dignity and not being handed the answers on a silver platter. Some of the best endings to movies and TV shows ever are the ones that are entirely left up to interpretation. Films likePrisoners(Hugh Jackman) andThe Shining(Jack Nicholson) are still talked about years later as fans debate what happened to certain characters in the end. WhileThe Pittdoesn’t necessarily go as far as leaving anything up to interpretation by not answering questions, it does allow the audience to form its own opinion about characters without any dialogue shouting it in their face. In addition to Noah Wyle,The Pittalso starsTracy Ifeachoras Dr. Heather Collins,Patrick Ballas Dr. Frank Langdon, andKatherine LaNasaas Dana Evans.
