One of the most riveting shows I've ever watched

It's right up there with The Wire.

One thing that just adds to it for me, is that I was a devotee of "ER" in the 90's and 2000's, so Noah Wyle in the lead role just adds to it. It's like Dr. Carter grew up to become Dr. Robinavitch. He is a terrific central character just like he was 30 years ago, and now has two Emmys to show for it.

For those that haven't watched it yet, and even for those who have, if you watch it on HBOMax, after the credits there's a brief, 3 minutes or so "making of" documentary after each show. You have to click on the icon in the corner to tell it not to go automatically to the next show. It's well worth it. Two things you find out: Gerran Howell who plays Whitaker, is a Brit, and Katherine LaNasa who plays Nurse Evans does not talk like a Yinzer.
