Surprisingly, ‘The Pitt’ season finale managed the impossible, tying up several loose ends, only leaving a couple storylines teasing just enough to keep all fans wanting more, and setting up a few open threads for season 3.
So far the fifth and final season of ‘The Boys’ has adhered to the kind of formula that the show originally satirized. Simply put, the third episode of the final season, titled “Every One Of You Sons and Bitches'“ mostly keeps this up.
While “8:00 pm” is certainly one of the most calm and rather uneventful episodes in all of ‘The Pitt’s run, there was plenty of hard hitting insight into the mindset of those who suffer from depression to make it a powerful episode.
Many have remarked that as ‘The Boys’ has gone on, it has become the very thing it once parodied, an overly self-important superhero series with repetitive plot beats, tangential spin-offs, and an excess of ‘shocking’ and gory moments that make each progressing instance feel less important. Simply put, the opening to the series’ fifth and final season does little to dispel these criticisms so far.
So much of this season of ‘The Pitt’ has been about what hasn’t been said, and occasionally, certain things should remain unspoken, while others need to shouted out loud.

As we reach high noon on this season of ‘The Pitt’ and the sun is directly overhead, the light of episode 6 is shone upon the unsung heroes of the Emergency Department.
While the early-going pace of ‘The Pitt’s sophomore season seems to be building towards a storm, this episode finds a piece that reminds audiences what’s been missing.

Marvel Studios hasn’t had much success at all on the small screen, sending out new series after new series that always seem, regardless of context, to fail in both their artistic integrity and connection to the cinematic universe. ‘Ironheart’ suffers the same ultimate fate.

The halfway point has been crossed, and the overall endgame does not feel pressing nor consequential, despite the numerous insistences otherwise.
