Due to an unfortunate quirk of timing, you might initially take Netflix’s Pulse for a pale imitation of Max’s The Pitt. Here, once again, is a drama set in the emergency room of a teaching hospital in a major American metropolis; the first several episodes even unfold, Pitt-like, over the course of a single day.
The comparison is not especially flattering to Pulse. This new series is less thrilling and less moving, less grounded in the realities of the job and more invested in the tangled interpersonal lives of its suspiciously photogenic doctors.
