Get Ready for ‘Pulse’: Your Next Binge-Worthy Medical Drama on Netflix!
Mark your calendars, folks! Netflix is diving into the medical drama pool with its upcoming series *Pulse*, set to premiere on April 3. The show stars Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell, who find themselves in a high-stakes situation as a hurricane bears down on Miami’s busiest trauma center. Talk about a dramatic backdrop! ????
In *Pulse*, we follow third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Fitzgerald) who gets catapulted into the role of Chief Resident after Dr. Xander Phillips (Woodell) finds himself in hot water and gets suspended. As Miami’s finest face a barrage of trauma cases and what could potentially be a life-threatening storm, the tension only escalates. Oh, and did I mention these two have a complicated romantic history? Yeah, that’ll certainly spice things up in the ER.
The series looks to mix the melodrama and surgical precision that fans of shows like *Grey’s Anatomy* and *The Good Doctor* love. With a network-style production on a hefty budget, it appears Netflix is ready to compete in the current surge of medical dramas on TV. Just in the past few months, we’ve seen other new entries like *The Pitt* from Max (which has already snagged a second season), *Doc* on Fox, and CBS’ *Watson*. It’s a crowded field, but *Pulse* is aiming to be at the forefront.
Executive produced by the duo of rookie creator Zoe Robyn and veteran showrunner Carlton Cuse (yes, the mind behind *Lost*), *Pulse* boasts a star-studded cast, including Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, and Jessie T. Usher, among others. With so many characters, there’s bound to be no shortage of personal dramas and workplace romances—let’s just hope it’s more soap opera and less scissor-happy plot devices!
As the ER team juggles their own complexities, it’s clear that saving their patients might become the easier part compared to untangling their own messy lives. Catch the first-look photos and get ready to dive headfirst into the chaos on April 3! ????????
