PULSE

A tight ensemble drama set in a busy Miami emergency department, PULSE follows a cohort of young ER doctors as they balance life-or-death cases with messy personal ties. Danielle Simms is ambitious and exacting, Xander Phillips is driven but guarded, Tom Cole leans on pragmatism, Sam Elijah brings calm competence, and Harper Simms tries to keep family strain from spilling into the ward. When a divisive allegation surfaces at the hospital, alliances shift and old tensions resurface, testing loyalties, ethics, and careers. The series sticks to the day-to-day intensity of medicine while tracking how a single accusation changes how colleagues treat one another.

Created by Zoe Robyn, PULSE premiered in 2025 and stars Willa Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, and Jessy Yates. The show is set in Miami and presents a contemporary medical workplace drama driven by character conflict.

Critics and viewers have given the series a generally positive response, reflected in a 7.694/10 average from 80 votes. Reviews often point to the cast chemistry, brisk pacing, and moral complexity, with recurring themes around medical ethics, burnout, hierarchy, and trust. Writing focuses on the human cost of emergency medicine as much as the cases themselves.

As of its initial run, PULSE has not received major industry awards or widely reported nominations. It’s still early in the show’s lifecycle, so recognition may grow if later seasons deepen its characters or expand its audience.

PULSE has prompted discussion online about power dynamics in hospitals and how institutions handle accusations among staff. Fans and commentators frequently debate character choices and episode cliffhangers, and certain scenes have become common reference points in social threads about modern medical dramas and workplace accountability.
