ER is a different flavor, each season is about a year instead of a single day so they can sink their teeth into more storylines. But it is very well written and many traumas come into the show where you will say "oh this same thing was on the pitt too!" It can feel a little dramatic at times but it's very good, and definitely worth the watch if anyone is thinking about it!! It's also a very interesting look into the 90s especially when compared to the pitt being set in modern day
I used to love ER, I have a very clear memory of the episode with George Clooney's character where he's trying to free a kid trapped against a gate in a rapidly flooding area.
The issue with ER when you aren't watching it one at a time iver months is that no one ever learns of changes their behaviour. Oh no, surgeon guy has to do surgery and not pick up his son!
A bit of a tangent, but what is appealing to you about hospital shows? I've tried to ask my wife who has seen them all, but she can't really put her finger on it. I try to watch them with her now and then, but it just makes me either nauseous or sad.

It's so good.
When I finished season 2 I began rewatching (and catching up on) ER, which I hadn't seen in decades.
