The Pitt fans issued a plea to bosses to fix an frustrating error making the show ‘unwatchable’ – fuming ‘they clearly don’t care!’

With HBO Max’s launch in the UK, new viewers have been able to watch the acclaimed medical drama.

After the first episode of series two became available, fans took to social media to share their grievances.

They claimed that subtitles appeared prior to the relevant scenes, meaning spoilers as a result.

One wrote: ‘I’m watching the pitt on hbo max in the uk and idk if it’s my wifi or what but it’s so laggy and the subtitles are ahead.’

Another fumed: ‘How much longer for you to fix the subtitles for The Pitt?

‘They’re still out of sync now. You clearly don’t care about the hard of hearing.’

A third chimed in: ‘Just tried to watch the first episode of the Pitt on Now TV (on laptop browser) and the subtitles are waaaay out of sync, like by about 30 seconds to a minute.

‘Hopefully this can be remedied as otherwise it’s unwatchable.’

While a fourth said: ‘Begging you to fix the timing of the subtitles on the pitt please and thanks.’

In response to one fan, HBO wrote on X: ‘Thank you for your time and patience’s as we work on this.’
