Fans of Grey’s Anatomy, brace yourselves.
Netflix has just released its first-ever English-language medical procedural from Hawaii Five-0’s Zoe Robyn and Carlton Cuse, who’s best known for Lost, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Locke and Key, Colony, Bates Motel and The Strain.
“You don’t really want to be in the hospital. But if you were in the hospital – this is the one you would want to be in,” Robyn told Tudum. “You want to be in the care of these people.”
The ten-part series follows a team of medical staff at the fictional Maguire Hospital in Miami, charting their work and personal dramas – not to mention a hurricane, which pushes them to their emotional and professional limits.
“Nowadays, your work family can really be, apart from your literal family, the most important community you have,” added Cuse.
“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.”
The drama features a number of recognisable faces, plus some you might not be familiar with.
Read on for a full rundown of the key movers and shakers.
