The TV and Streaming Thread: That's Entertainment!

MAX/HBO - The Pitt.  An emergency room medical show. It's being released one episode a week, up to 5 episodes at this moment. I knew of, but never watched or wanted to watch that old "ER" series, which I guess this is getting kind of compared to because of the lead actor (and one of the producers) Noah Wyle. But The Pitt's concept is the whole season is a single day of Noah's head doctor chr. So one hour or so=one episode. A lot of interns/students, a lot of guest patients that stick around for multiple episodes. Takes some medical realism liberties like all shows but it's probably better than most. I liked it enough to watch all 5 available episodes. Hope it stays focused on the ER workings. With it being a single day, won't be any silly office romance/divorces type soap drama I assume.

Netflix - Sakamoto Days. Anime, action/comedy. Super-assassin who retired/married/got fat but still has super-assassin abilities, ends up being rediscovered/has to do stuff. It's pretty funny in the OTP anime fashion, I like it so far.
