Pulse

In particular, I couldn't stand Dr. Philips. I really couldn't tell whether we were suppose to hate him or love him, but I definitely hated him.

I was excited to see Jessie T Usher in something new because I loved him in the Boys. But his character wasn't that interesting. It didn't have to do with his acting as much as just a lackluster script. The same went for Willa Fitzgerald. She's a great actress, but even her prowess couldn't overcome this script.

I would have given it a 5 out of 10, except I just truly could not stand any moment when Dr Philips was in the show and he was there a lot. He is the typical rich boy with rich boy problems (aka none but he angsts wildly still). There's nothing original about his rich boy character. Cole was also the atypical arrogant womanizer surgeon with no depth or originality.

The CGI during the hurricane scenes was also really weak. If you're going to lean so heavily on the hurricane element in the script, then at least have good CGI for the few outside shots.

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.

Okay, coming from a nurse this is not exactly what I would call medically accurate. I physically have to look away when they are doing compressions on patients because they are not NEARLY deep enough to actually save someone's life. However, I can look past some of the inaccuracies of the medical portrayals since I'm aware this may not be super obvious to non health care workers.

That being said, the drama is what kept me watching. Everything is average including the special effects, acting, etc., but it's a nice show to throw on if you've got nothing better to do since it has many interpersonal relationships within the character storylines. I enjoy watching the different personalities of the characters and am interested in learning more of their personal storylines if it gets renewed for another season.

It's decent. Ok it's not gonna win awards but it's enjoyable. Stop comparing it to other shows and enjoy it for what it is. Acting isn't bad at all, scripts are a little predictable but it's enjoyable and entertaining. The only issue I had with it (I binged it in one day) was the time jumping back and forth with flashbacks. Made it a bit confusing as to whether you were in past or present. Totally recognising some character traits from people I've worked with. People saying it's dull - no it's pretty close to real life! It's not as far fetched as other medical shows. Shame it came out at a similar time as The Pitt (I'm in uk and haven't got it yet) so everyone watching both are comparing!
