2 panel image showing two memes based on The Pitt television show finale.

The season one finale of HBO Max’s The Pitt was filled with high-stakes drama and emotional payoff for many fans. As with many season finales, the internet was filled with memes about the show’s finale as loose threads were tied up.

What is The Pitt and what happened in the finale?

The Pitt is a medical drama that airs on Max. The show takes place during a single intense 15-hour shift at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital, a model similar to the TV show ER, and one that caused legal trouble for the showrunners.

The show follows a team of medical professionals as they navigate high-stakes emergencies and personal drama. In the season finale, the team confronts the aftermath of a mass shooting, ethical dilemmas, and personal revelations. The episode ends with the staff sharing beers in the park and reflecting on their stressful day.

Following the finale, fans took to social media to share their reactions, with a mixture of humor and despair. As fans eagerly await season two, which was announced in February, their memes and discussions keep the conversation alive.

In particular, viewers joked about their emotional damage and favorite character arcs over the action-packed 15-hour shift. Some memes came up with other endings or potential relationships between the ER staff depicted in the show. Meanwhile, other folks quipped about the show’s most intense scenes as a way to ease the pain. Despite the drama, the finale spoke deeply to people, leading to thoughtful commentary alongside the jokes.
