I haven’t. I haven’t even watched The Pitt despite reading a lot about it. If I’m going to watch medical shows, I prefer goofy or cheesy stuff like Scrubs or Grey’s Anatomy. I get enough of the hardcore stuff at work most days.

For all your goofy, cheesy medical show needs:

It’s basically Abbott Elementary, except it’s set in a hospital instead of a school.

You should def watch this, then:
It’s fucking hysterical.
Whereas I can understand your hesitation about The Pitt. We watch slasher movies where people are beheaded & dismembered with glee… but The Pitt is hella realistic 
We’ve been holding off on it so we can binge a few epis in a row

I tried clicking on the link and it gives me an error message. I fear it might not be available on UK Netflix. I’ll search for it. And for St Denis Medical that @small_h suggested.

It should also be available on Apple, if that is an option for you.
I’m not an Apple person

It’s much darker and more absurdist than St. Denis, which may not be your thing, either 
Noted. Just finished watching The Beast in Me, which was ok.

I don’t think I can handle another series with Claire Danes being mostly jittery

This NYT article brands her ‘TV’s Avatar of Anxiety’!
Tracks. Homeland was enough for me.
I thought she was very good in ‘Fleishman is in Trouble’ - she plays unlikeable women very well and you can’t but help sort of rooting for her character.
I don’t think I’ve watched that one, but don’t take my word for it. My inability to retain or remember any shows or movies I have watched in the last 5 to 10 years is a running joke in our household.
If you haven’t, I highly recommend it. I can’t remember all the details, but Claire Danes playing an out of control mother in Manhattan was a refreshing contrast to Jesse Eisenberg’s placid husband who is left holding their kids.

I added Apple fairly recently, to watch Slow Horses.

Sounds vaguely familiar. Not sure I can handle both of those in the same show 
Ah, too bad. It’s harmless fluff, and your life will not be the worse for never having seen it. I like the lead actor a lot - saw her first in Downward Dog, then Emergence.

Today, I watched Sorry, Baby, a quiet film about making a life beyond trauma. Here’s a gift link to the NYT review.

We stopped watching St. Denis because we’d had enough of Wendi McLendon-Covey and Josh Lawson. The rest of the cast? Great. Those two? No thanks.
I stopped because I already watch Abbott Elementary, and I didn’t need another one. But your reason is good, too.
