Pulse

Look I'm no doctor so I'm not sure if my review is valid but I do feel like it was a mistake putting Pulse out after The Pitt.

I don't think this show is bad. The acting is mid but better than some shows. The drama and soundtrack is really what kept me completely locked in. Its kind of addictive.

If you're looking for accuracy. This show isn't for you. Its on par with Grey's Anatomy. Its still enjoyable to be honest. But I feel like the reviewers are being too harsh.

If you're watching, don't think about the inaccuries, cus you're just beating up yourself for no reason. Not every medical show is The Pitt. Just saying.

After watching it, I have only one question... What was that even supposed to be? Why - and more importantly, how - did Netflix release something in this condition? They have a post-production team, right? How could they allow such an unfinished, raw product to go public?

This is unacceptable.

Let's start with the main point: 80% of the project is full of mistakes.

Everything feels incomplete. The medical storyline is more of a circus than proper drama. The characters' personal lives? Empty - just like the characters themselves: underdeveloped, filled with forced drama and not a single genuine emotion. Chemistry between the lead actors? Forget it - it simply doesn't exist. As for the supporting characters, there are way too many of them. They only overcomplicate the story without moving the plot forward.

This should've been a feature-length film - tight, focused, and concentrated. Instead, they stretched it into a series for no good reason. The result? It's neither ER, nor Grey's Anatomy, nor The Resident, nor House, nore Pitt ... The casting is awful. The acting? Like something out of a school play. The dialogues are written just for the sake of talking - meaningless, with no rhythm or purpose.

And the flashbacks? There are way too many. So many that by the end, they become nauseating.

If I had to point out a positive, it would be a nod to the director - a few scenes managed to shine through and show a sense of style, despite everything.

And, of course, Willa Fitzgerald - my absolute favorite. If it weren't for her, I would've stopped watching during the exposition. She's the only one who carried this entire mess. As always - professionalism, charisma, and that smile. Bravo. Keep it up.

Started off strong, ended... well, on a literal wave - that's how the series closes.

My wife and I were looking forward to this show; especially since we live in Miami and I was in the medical field but this was inherently bad. A show is almost assuredly over when you have no one to root for. Most of these characters are unlikabke. The flashbacks are jarring because we have to figure out when it's a flashback without any visual clues. The dialogue is ridiculous with many doctors and nurses talking about personal issues in front of patients. Uh uh that's rarely done. This was mostly boring soap opera and little medical stuff. As others have stated this can't hold a candle to The Pitt ( an excellent medical show ) or even Doc or Chicago Med. We will check out another ep or two but we're not holding up much hope. We will see.

Post: Yep tried one more ep and lasted just 10 minutes into ep 2. This is just so bad. Doctors contradicting each other and fighting to do a procedure in literally every. Single. Medical. Scene. Just no. Avoid. What a shame......

Everything is great except the main female character and the actress. Oh my God how is it possible for one to ruin everything, she is so annoying, what a b**ch, playing the victim, awful. There are a lot of negative roles, but the actors play it so good, you actually root for them, not this one, wanted to break her neck all along, except relaxing, fills you with negative energy. Watching it because everything else is pretty good, the themes, actors, pretty interesting to keep up with, if you have enough nerves to ignore the main character and actress. Guess all the people who love medicine series will like it.

This show is ok. It's much more soapy interpersonal relationships in a hospital setting vs. Medical/patient focused drama. And coming in the heels of The Pitt, it really didn't stand much a chance.

The lead actress is meh, however the actors/actresses who play Dr's Chan, Cruz and Simms (leads sister) are very good.

It's watchable, but not riveting/memorable. Good background show.

I kept getting confused with the (Australian?) doctor - I thought there were two of them, so idk what that says about what they're doing with him. Also the inappropriate relationship tropes have been done so much that it's just Grey's in a different city.
