The Pitt felt like it had obvious woke energy but it was nearly subsumed by trying to just give glimpses of the doctors' personal lives and focus more on the cases. It basically speedran itself to being like half about the doctors' personal lives by the end where where characters personal relations happen to show up at the hospital for different reasons and it felt really forced. Though you're right the preachiness is very bad and eyerolling, but unlike something like New Amsterdam, it moves on fairly quickly in most regards from being entirely about preaching. I'd recommend it to anyone that can tolerate the idea that it's a good doctor show, probably the best currently airing, but it's also going to woke preaching that often seems nonsensical (admittedly the briefest preaching they make but the most hilarious was saying that being fat doesn't impact someone's health). Though maybe that is reflective of reality at this point, dunno.
It's basically like ER if it was done as a single shift with episodes being in real time, which lends itself very well to the reality of it. I don't know if it's real but the way it presents itself and shows treatment rather than explaining it to the audience feels as real as I'd expect.
With the exception of Scrubs it's probably the best medical TV show period (in terms of vibe capturing and medical accuracy).
And yes it captures the reality. So much fighting about if kidney labs are racist.
