It does. It’s a slow burn. If the writing is good I can enjoy it. I was telling my wife yesterday that he was weird catching myself cheering for the “bad guys“ when the FBI starts to get close.

Reminds me of a CIA related movie with Robert De Niro and Matt Damon called the good Shepherd. Some people don’t like it because they say it’s too slow, I think the writing is brilliant and love every second of it.

Two of my favorite scenes from that movie…

The Good Shepherd is a great movie, for a bunch of reasons.

That’s a very underrated movie.

You mean the reboot of ER? 😁

I have not seen The Pitt but ER was the thing when I was a paramedic, and was often very realistic until it jumped the shark in later seasons.

Fun fact: a couple Duke docs were contributing writers for the show, which is why one of the characters (the British surgeon) left Chicago to work for Duke in one of the episodes.

If you've seen ER, you've seen The Pitt. Prettty much the same show - even has one if the the same guys, except it doesn't follow the staff home at the end of their shift. If you didn’t know better, you'd think it's still ER 20 years later.

Yeah, Noah Wyle lol. I heard he's still "Carter", just a better version.
 
The Jinx on HBO/ Max about Robert Durst and his decades long tale of dead bodies and murder trials. Wild, wild ride. 2 seasons of 6 episodes each. You true crime junkies will love it because that story is nuts.
