‘Pulse’ Will Show Both Sides of Its Central Complicated Relationship

Netflix is hopping on board a very popular genre right now — the medical drama — with its first-ever English language series of the kind.

In Pulse, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly promoted when Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is suspended — just as a hurricane is heading straight towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center. But with the onslaught of trauma cases and the hospital in lockdown, the two doctors must find a way to work together, even as the shocking details of their complicated and illicit romance begin to spill out.
