Despite the burden the binge-model proposes, Netflix has crafted one of the best procedural dramas of the decade. .... The pressure of life-or-death stakes, paired with the unbeatable chemistry of each and every cast member, makes this series feel like lightning in a bottle. These characters don’t feel like caricatures of medical professionals: they feel like real people.

It’s a compelling spin on a problematic trope (work romance between people with a significant gap in power dynamic), but does it work? The answer is: Sort of.

La serie se centra principalmente en los traumas de la protagonista más que en el entorno médico, ese es el verdadero enfoque más que una serie médica es un drama sobre el trauma de una medica, no se ve muy claro el enfoque médico es secundario.

It’s not half bad — entertaining enough to scratch the same itch [as "Grey’s Anatomy"], if not yet satisfying enough to claim its own place in the pantheon of hospital shows.

Considering that most characters don't get the depth they deserve, as well as Pulse's lack of story originality — both in terms of workplace dynamics and the clinical cases the doctors are working on — it's hard to determine if the show will make it to another season (or whether it deserves to).

Pulse is one of the most generic medical dramas we’ve seen in some time, with characters who aren’t compelling and medical situations that are eye-rolling to watch.

It’s not anything, really, except a frustrating mishmash of many better shows crammed into a blender and pulsed until any specific flavor or texture has been pulverized beyond recognition.

It might’ve been possible to extract a fun procedural from this setup, but with Pulse, the execution is even shoddier than the premise. The patients are a blur of slit-open chest cavities. A big supporting cast—including the two strongest actors, Machado and Néstor Carbonell (Lost), who plays a high-ranking surgeon—is wasted in one-note roles.

Really good actors weighed down by poor writing and frustrating topics. The show is a pretty standard medical drama, but is constantly showcasing extremely toxic women. Serial manipulation, deception and politics, all while risking patients lives for their own benefit

This show is so poorly written it’s hard to believe there are so many people behind it. It has all of the soapy ridiculousness of Grey’s anatomy but it’s trying sooo hard to pretend it’s not. It’s just terrible. Poorly acted and utterly unrealistic in every way.
