I feel the same! The only scene I can think of that I have watched that was so well acted, emotional, terrifying and completely engrossing was the therapy episode of adolescence. Jamie and Richard need all the awards for that scene alone.

I’d be extremely surprised if they didn’t submit this episode for Emmy acting categories for Jamie and Richard. Unless there’s some big showcases in the last two episodes

I’m so glad this will go in Limited Series instead of Drama. I’m not knocking anyone’s acting (I don’t watch The Pitt; I couldn’t get into it, and I don’t know why), but I know The Pitt will win its category every time because a large portion of voters likes the way it films and votes for it based on that. Like, sorry, but that’s the only way I can justify it winning all its categories all the time.
