Here are a few details me and many other people have noticed while watching The Pitt that enrage me to no end. (marked as spoiler just in case)

1. Robby not wanting to call the police on David Saunters because “it’s going to ruin his life”, completely disregarding the fact that the kid made a list of girls he wanted to eliminate. And when McKay calls the police on him, Robby gets mad at her. And although he eventually comes around the idea—even apologizes to McKay—as soon as we know that he was not the one to blame for the shooting, Robby is back to his previous stance and tells McKay to “fix the mess she made”—but it was him the one who told a cop to keep an eye on David’s mom because his son had something to do with the shooting, not McKay.
2. Robby blaming Samira for Ogilvie’s mistake because “he’s a student, she’s her superior and should supervise him properly”—but having no problem in having Dr. Garcia blame Javadi (and Robby agreeing with her mother when she scolds her later on) even though she’s also a student, and Whitaker was supervising her.
3. Langdon not being fired for stealing drugs from the hospital but Robby threatening Dr. Al Hashimi to rat her out to the administration if she doesn’t tell them first about her seizures.
4. Having the “ER cowboys” always be right as opposed to the consulting women surgeons who most definitely have equal or more experience (Langdon and Robby with Garcia, Abbott with Walsh) and having the only male surgeon to be relevant (Shark) to be the “scary” one and the one they actually respect.
5. The women in the cast being constantly used as Robby’s punching bags for character development purposes. Not to mention how much he is projecting.
6. As soon as Caleb, the hospital’s psychiatrist, says he feels disrespected by Robby, he apologizes and proceedes to have the conversation with him that he had been wanting to have all day. But when Samira has a panic attack all he does is mock her and tell her to go home because “he doesn’t need the liability”.

These things aren't even half of the many situations people have notices while watching the show. I just compiled a few and put them into a bullet list, but I'm 100% there are more, so if you feel like it, feel free to comment anything else you think is worth mentioning!

It's really upsetting, because I really do like the show. I love medical shows, and the more accurate the better, so this one caught my eye immediately. But it does get overwhelming when the more you watch, the more uncomfortable you feel by the constant misogynistic actions. it just gets to exhausting.

Edit: Didn't expect this post to get so much attention, so let me clear up a couple things:

1. I love the show. Just because I'm pointing out a flaw I notice it has doesn't mean I'm a hater. This is just criticism for the sole purpose of shedding light to some tendencies that may not be seen by everyone.
2. I most certainly do not hate Langdon!! And I do not want him to get fired. I don't know why people came to the conclusion that I did. I love his character and his storyline, but in comparison to Dr. Al Hashimi's it's just unfair. I use his story to make a comparison, that's all. It's relevant for the point I'm trying to make.
3. Many people have argued that just because a character is misogynistic, doesn't mean the whole show is. But when said character isn't written to be misogynistic, that's a different story. And that's what's happening here. So ya'll can argue all you want but the fact of the matter is the writers didn't create Robby as a big sexist prick. But he is. So, what does that tell you about the show.

This article makes some very interesting points, but apparently this is Samira’s fate in Season 3:

“The issue isn't whether The Pitt can justify her exit narratively. I mean, it probably can; the actress is slated to have minimal screen-time in the first few episodes of Season 3 to close her character's story out, which will see her choose a medical department that is not the ER, which she finds too demanding”.

If what the article says is true and she’s really leaving the ER, then they’ve completely wasted a great character and a great story.

The article says it’s because the job is too demanding, but if they’re really talking about Samira Mohan (and the author did not mistake her with Javadi), then the writers and I see this character in completely different ways. Season 1 already proved that she does belong in emergency medicine, that she can do it, and that she has what it takes. The whole point of her arc was that she grew, adapted, and thrived when given the right mentorship and environment.

And it’s not just something the character herself showed on screen. The actress has talked about it, and many of the people who worked with her, including cast members, have described Samira as someone who absolutely belongs there and has the potential to become an excellent ER doctor.

So if this is really the direction they’re taking, then they completely missed what made her journey so compelling in the first place.

(ABS-CBN news is a news channel from the Philippines.)

Villanueva had told her agent "no more nurses" because while Filipina nurses can be seen on TV they're always just background characters who don't get screentime or depth and how with Princess and Perlah they are actual characters and their input is taken seriously as the writers don't know what it's like to be Filipina, which is pretty awesome, but also should be the norm.

I love that they let them and Isa bring in the Tagalog when they feel it's appropriate. (Like please who wouldn't be gossiping in their native language.)

They both discuss how excited they were to see Muslim Filipino healthcare worker representation as it hasn't been seen on TV despite there being a large Muslim population in the Philippines and a large number of Muslim Filipino healthcare workers. (Catholicism is the largest religion with iirc ~80% of the population being Catholic and Islam is the second largest religion).

It's really cool to read the comments from lots of Filipinos who are so happy to see themselves represented accurately on screen.
