Watching this season live after watching s1 live only after episode 12 hit is so fascinating and I think proves to me that most people cannot handle watching The Pitt live and should wait to binge it because the fact that it is a singular day seems utterly lost on many people.
Like they think that because they've had time to digest information and sit with their feelings about it should mean the characters have, too, but in reality the characters haven't had a single second to think, they're literally on the clock saving lives and haven't been able to process or decompress.
Not to mention the information that each character has is almost exclusively contained to the scenes they are in. The audience is semi-omnipresent, not the characters. Their information is severely limited.
People are expecting extraordinary leaps and levels of understanding from these characters. In some ways it feels like a symptom of the "therapy speak" expectations in fiction now, where everyone talks through their feelings and uses all the right terminology to communicate with one another. It's just not realistic.
