Season one follows emergency-room residents through a hurricane, hospital crises, and a divisive workplace allegation, while flashbacks reveal the complicated history between residents Danielle “Danny” Simms and Xander Phillips.
What is PULSE about?
The series brings together two kinds of pressure: emergencies in a busy emergency room and conflicts among the people working there. At Maguire Medical Center, residents handle a surge of patients as a hurricane approaches Miami and the hospital faces problems with its backup generators. At the same time, a divisive allegation at the hospital complicates workplace relationships.

The Danny and Xander storyline unfolds partly through flashbacks, which gradually show the history behind their relationship. Creator Zoe Robyn described the show’s interest in the overlap between work and personal life: “The complications that arise — between what’s going on off the clock and on the clock — can get messy. It can get confusing. That’s what we wanted to explore with Pulse.” (Netflix Tudum)
