That much is clear from these last few episodes. <u>Episode 5 was the best chapter up to that point<\/u>, while <u>Episode 6 stumbled a bit<\/u> from some frustrating character moments and an emphasis on relatively less interesting medical cases. But now the series bounces back again in Episode 7, as things really start to heat up in the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. Literally.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If last week\u2019s crop of medical cases proved slightly underwhelming, that\u2019s not at all a problem here. Thankfully, we\u2019ve already moved on from that inexplicably mundane motorcycle accident. Instead, the show pivots to a handful of new cases and provides newfound momentum with several ongoing subplots. The season is nearing the midway point now, and the tone is definitely shifting in a darker and more frantic direction.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Biggest TV Shows Coming to Every Streaming Service in 2026<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"The Biggest TV Shows Coming to Every Streaming Service in 2026&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;New Year, new tube. With more streaming services than ever before and more than a few broadcast networks and cable channels still churning out some can\u2019t-miss content, 2026 is shaping up to be another banner year for Peak TV. From popular returning series like House of the Dragon, The Boys, and Daredevil: Born Again, to hotly-anticipated new arrivals like Wonder Man, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and Spider-Noir, the year promises to be jam-packed with your favorite (or soon-to-be-favorite) shows.\u00a0&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;Below you\u2019ll find a list of the biggest new and returning series from Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, and more. We\u2019ve organized everything by streamer and release date to help you plan your year accordingly. As always, premiere dates and release dates are subject to change, and we\u2019ll do our best to update this list throughout the year so you can keep track of everything.\u00a0&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;We've also thrown in a few network and cable channel offerings because, hey, people still watch those too, right?&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;Be sure to check back throughout 2026 as we add new shows, note new release dates, and push shows off the list for when and if they move to 2027.\u00a0\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Perhaps most notably, we see Dana (Katherine LaNasa) and Emma (La\u00ebtitia Hollard) take charge of a sexual assault case. These scenes are hard to watch, and they do a great job of conveying the dehumanizing ordeal involved in being poked, prodded, and tested in the aftermath of a terrible trauma. LaNasa really shines throughout, radiating warmth, compassion, and experience. But as things start to go off the rails at the end, we see the terrible toll this work takes on her. LaNasa really is one of the show\u2019s MVPs.  <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Elsewhere in the ER, we got the surprise return of Shawn Hatosy\u2019s Dr. Jack Abbot, who, it seems, doesn\u2019t get enough thrills in his night job. More Jack is always a good thing for the series. The fight to save the life of the injured SWAT member adds a welcome sense of urgency to the episode. And in the aftermath, we get to savor several memorable scenes between Hatosy and other cast members. The moment of bonding between Jack and Samira (Supriya Ganesh) is especially enjoyable (if a bit heartbreaking, given the sad turn in the case of her diabetic patient). <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And if the series has been a little slow to advance the plight of Dr. Langdon (Frank Ball), that finally changes here as Langdon and Robby (Noah Wyle) finally have their big confrontation. It\u2019s very brief, sure, but Robby clearly says everything that he feels needs to be said. That brief exchange leaves Langdon crushed and at loose ends. Once again, it\u2019s impressive just how differently Ball is playing his character in Season 2. The swagger is gone, replaced by a weary man trying and failing to make amends for his misdeeds. I can\u2019t wait to see where Langdon\u2019s story arc progresses in the back half of the season.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">What We Thought of The Pitt Season 2, Episode 6<\/h3>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><span><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/span><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201c&#8217;12:00 P.M.&#8217; captures both the best and worst of The Pitt Season 2. On one hand, this episode mines a terrific amount of drama out of the sad fate of Louie Cloverfield. But in between the scenes centered around his death and the emotional fallout, this episode struggles on other fronts. Between a fairly underwhelming new medical case and the way the series is going to great lengths to make us dislike some of the newer characters, this episode frustrates as often as it satisfies.&#8221; -Jesse Schedeen, 02\/12\/2026<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Click here to read our full review. <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This is all pretty heavy material, but the show doesn\u2019t entirely lose sight of the humor that characterized earlier episodes. The focus on Javadi\u2019s (Shabana Azeez) family strife continues to amuse. The poor kid never stood a chance with parents like these. And the show continues to make a meal out of Santos (Isa Briones) and her futile quest to get her charts in order. It even turns out that she has a pretty decent singing voice. Though it should be noted, we also get some newfound insight into her personal struggles and learn that she has a habit of self-harm. Santos has become one of the show\u2019s most well-rounded and compelling characters in Season 2.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Finally, Episode 7 wraps up with the big reveal about what\u2019s been going on with the mysterious Code Black. It seems multiple hospitals are being targeted with ransomware attacks, forcing The Pitt to not only accept even more patients, but to go offline in the process. If the tension wasn\u2019t already soaring along with the heat, that\u2019ll certainly do it. The season\u2019s slow start is making way for a very interesting and high-stakes struggle to survive the holiday onslaught.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-pitt-season-2-episode-7-100-pm-review-recap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning: This review contains full spoilers for The Pitt Season 2, Episode 7!
