A new medical drama has taken over Netflix, captivating audiences with its gripping storyline. The show, titled “The Pitt,” follows a team of doctors and medical professionals in an emergency room setting, where each episode unfolds in real-time. This format has earned the series widespread acclaim for its brilliant writing, excellent character development, and tense atmosphere.
Stephen King, a renowned author, is among those praising the show on social media. With 15 episodes to date, “The Pitt” has become a phenomenon, leaving fans eagerly anticipating its next installment.
As a response to “The Pitt’s” success, Netflix has released another medical drama series, “Pulse.” Created by “Hawaii Five-0” producer Zoe Robyn and “Lost” scribe Carlton Cuse, the show follows the Level 1 Trauma Center at Miami’s Maguire Hospital. The story centers around Dr. Danny Sims, a third-year resident, as she navigates her new role as Chief Resident after being promoted.
The first five episodes of “Pulse” mirror the chaos and intensity of “The Pitt,” but the remaining episodes take place in the aftermath. While the show has received mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike, its performances have been praised. Despite this, “Pulse” currently ranks number 4 on the US Netflix charts.
Interestingly, both shows are often mentioned together on social media, with many fans discussing them alongside each other. However, “The Pitt’s” sustained release over 15 episodes has contributed to its continued momentum and suspense, whereas “Pulse” dropped all 10 episodes at once, which may have affected its impact.
