Netflix’s first foray into English language medical dramas, “Pulse,” does not skip a beat in its first trailer.
Two medical attendants get caught kissing by a nurse, a hurricane forces the whole hospital to step up and, of course, a patient’s life is saved.
As a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly promoted when chief resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell), the man she’s developing feelings for, is suspended.
When cases start to pile up in the middle of the storm, Danny and Phillips must put their flirtation aside and focus on their patients under the pressure of life-or-death stakes. Watch the full trailer, here:
Danny then proves her prowess as a resident when she completes a procedure on a pregnant woman without an ultrasound when the power goes out. Still, the series does find levity in the midst of the chaos. When one resident’s car gets destroyed by a fallen tree, his friend responds with its “time of death.”
Zoe Robyn is the creator of the medical procedural and is co-showrunner with Carlton Cuse. Bradley Gardner, Emma Forman, Kate Dennis, Cuse and Robyn all serve as executive producers as well.
Fitzgerald and Woodell star as the series’ lead love interests, but Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead and Daniela Nieves fill out the series regular cast with featured performances from Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos and Arturo Del Puerto.
“Pulse” premieres April 2 on Netflix.
