HBO Max’s The Pitt wins best TV drama at the 83rd Golden Globes

HBO Max’s medical drama "The Pitt" won the Golden Globe for best television series, drama at the 83rd annual Golden Globes.

The show, which had already been named best drama at the Emmy Awards and Critics Choice Awards, was praised in coverage for its precise medical procedures and tense emergency-room scenes — praise that the article says even real doctors offered. "The Pitt" is set in a Pittsburgh hospital and devotes each season to one 15-hour shift; Noah Wyle stars as the senior physician overseeing the staff, and he also won a Globe for best actor in a drama earlier in the night. At the Globes the series beat nominees that included Apple TV’s "Pluribus" and "Severance," Apple’s "Slow Horses," Netflix’s "The Diplomat" and HBO’s "The White Lotus."

The Globes awarded the prize for the show’s first season; the article notes that the program’s second season premiered on Thursday. Coverage also describes the series as a kind of throwback to earlier medical procedurals that drew strong responses from viewers and critics.
