Whether through a soap opera (“general hospital”), Hugh Laurie’s prospect (“house”), or a long -standing procedure of the network (“Gray’s Anatomy”), the medical drama has always found a huge success on television. Look at “ER”, which lasted more than 15 seasons from the mid-90s to the end of the 2000s. There is a integrated audience for these kinds of shows in which we learn patients who barbell in these doors of the hospital, in addition to the domestic life of health professionals themselves.

In this spirit, this should not surprise as much as the new original series Max “The Pitt” has become a phenomenon and one of the most spoken series of the year so far. Even the famous horror author Stephen King Délire on the program on social networks.
“The Pitt” follows a rotary group of doctors, trainees and other health professionals during a chaotic 15 -hour section working in an emergency room, each episode playing in real time. The medically precise dramatic series stormed the world because of its brilliant writing, its excellent work of character and a tense atmosphere in which situations reveal layers to all those who work on the Pittsburgh Medical Trauma Center holder.

But season 1 quickly affects its end, leaving room so that new shows rush and take this audience for themselves. Currently, the first new medical drama of the door is the original Netflix series “Pulse” (which should not be confused with the film Kiyoshi Kurosawa of the same name, naturally), with the 10 episodes now made available to broadcast.
Pulse is the response to Netflix’s safety to the success of the Pitt
Created by the producer / writer of “Hawaii Five-0” Zoe Robyn, with the scribe “lost” Carlton Cuse serving as a showrunner, “pulse” follows the events of the level 1 trauma center at Maguire hospital in Miami in the middle of a few upheavals.

As a resident of the third year of Maguire Hospital, Dr. Danny Sims (Willa Fitzgerald of “Reacher” renown) is faced with even more responsibility because she was promoted to chief resident after Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell), the former chief of the traumatology center, is suspended due to certain disturbing allegations. But things become even more complicated because a hurricane sends the hospital in locking, forcing the two to work together in tandem with an entire whole to try to save as many lives as possible despite the circumstances.
What is interesting in his premise is that the aspect that most resembles the chaos of a day of “The Pitt” is only constituting the first five episodes of “Pulse”, with the other five which take place in a row. Of course, the television industry has never hesitated to capitalize on the success of a massively popular program. In the case of “pulse”, however, this new medical drama obtained a mixed reception on the part of criticism and viewers, with most congratulating the performances but by criticizing otherwise the poor quality structure of the show and the lower writing.

According to FlixPatrol, “Pulse” is currently classified on the Netflix charts at number 4 in the United States, with fluctuating investments for the rest of the world. If you look at how the series is discussed on social networks, you will find it difficult to find an article where it is not Be mentioned alongside “The Pitt”. I am also sure that it does not help that “Pulse” abandoned the 10 first season episodes at a time, while “the Pitt” was able to maintain the suspense and the momentum in its passage of 15 episodes.
“Pulse” may not initially seem the best remedy for the hole left by a popular spectacle, but it could provide a rapid solution to fans of medical dramas in general. Beyond that, however, the chances are there to find out if we will be able to see the additional adventures of Maguire Hospital.
Each episode of season 1 of “pulse” is currently broadcast on Netflix.
