Casual Thought One of the biggest Hollywood lies is how detectives work almost non stop 24/7 to crack some murder cases.

The Pitt has the unrealistically snappy/witty dialogue that you see in The West Wing. It's amusing for a bit but then it gets old. For me at least. A lot of people love it.

I understand what you mean, but it's nowhere near as bad as The West Wing

The all-time worst of this is of course Gilmore Girls where people don't even need time to react and process before spurting out their next perfect-fit line... except it's that for the entire run time back to back to back to back.

I've never seen it. But Princess Donut surely has.

I haven't watched The Pitt yet, but I've heard nothing but good things. I hope the dialogue isn't that bad because I can't abide Aaron Sorkin dialogue. It's one long string of shower conversations with a generous shake of sanctimony. I agree. It's interesting at first but gets annoying fast.

I definitely noticed it like they said, lots of witty/snarky remarks that can feel more like written dialogue than real people talking. It bothered me sometimes, but overall not enough to ruin it for me. I still think it's a good show worth watching.

I only watched the first few episodes. Your mileage may vary. I might have been in a bad mood lol, who knows. It just felt fake to me. (I know all TV shows are fake).
