Pulse (2025)

Matt Roush says...

This overheated medical melodrama, which often makes Grey’s Anatomy look like a documentary, has the bad luck to arrive as The Pitt is winding down, showered with acclaim. That’s not likely to happen here, as the telegenic staff of a Miami hospital prepares for an incoming hurricane while weathering personal storms of its own. The first hurdle arrives when chief resident Xander (Colin Woodell) is suspended and his illicit love interest, third-year resident Danny (Willa Fitzgerald), is promoted into his position. On the plus side: Justina Machado (One Day at a Time) projects authority as the chair of surgery and emergency medicine. She and Grey’s Bailey would be best friends.
