Better than an average But have some minor flaws
It seems fairly accurate!!!
In other words they say the right things. So the show has that going for it.
I haven't seen The Pitt, which everyone is raving about right now.
But I have watched most medical dramas... because I enjoy them. There've been some good ones lately (for example, "Transplant" is a hidden gem and much better than this series).
I watched all ten episodes of Pulse in 2 days. I usually don't do that but I did want to say that I finished the "season".
This is despite the fact I did not at all like many of the characters. I found some incredibly annoying and never really understood (and I tried!) what her numerous problems are. She is just incredibly unlikable.
There are similar issues with the other major characters. I feel incredibly ambivalent about them and in the end did not at all find Doctors Phillips, Cole and Elijah likable or even relatable. Basically they are, all of them, not very nice people. There's nothing really redeeming about them.
But I shine a light on the Simms character as she's so prominent in this show and is just such an unpleasant person.
There are a couple of characters that I did like: Luis and Gabriel (both are RNs and I think Luis is the Charge Nurse -- an important role in the E. D.).
So the character drama part of this show pretty much sucks. The medical part is not bad and in fact I did get caught up in the stories of the patients. But those stories are secondary to the character drama plots and they are not enough to carry this series...
Overall a cinema piece to watch if you have a mood...
