Looking for something new to watch on Netflix this weekend? Well, you may want to check out what subscribers are dubbing as an 'insanely addictive' new drama.
Let's face it, there's plenty to watch on the popular streamer so it can be pretty difficult to decide what to stick on to unwind of an evening.
You can always stick the classics on such as Stranger Things and Black Mirror, but nothing beats getting into a new series and experiencing it for the first time, does it?
The current talk of the town is a medical drama that follows the staff at Miami’s Level 1 trauma center, Maguire Medical Center.

Staring the likes of Willa Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Justina Machado, Chelsea Muirhead and Jack Bannon, Pulse tells the inside story of what goes on in a busy trauma centre.
The drama we're talking about is Pulse on Netlfix.
Zoe Robyn, the series' creator, told Tudum: "But if you were in the hospital — this is the one you would want to be in. You want to be in the care of these people.
"We wanted to make a structure that was relatable. We live in a world where people’s principal community is their job. What we learned in doing our research — and spending a lot of time talking to a bunch of different doctors — is that medicine is the same way, only even more intense. For people who live and who work in the medical world, their job is all-consuming."

While the first season may have just released, some fans are already demanding a second season after concluding the initial set of episodes.
"#pulse finished and I demand a second season immediately @netflix - Danny/Xander are ruining my life," one fan commented on Twitter.
Another viewer dubbed the drama 'insanely addictive', but that doesn't mean everyone is impressed with Pulse.
The series sits at a pretty average 50 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviews from industry critics pretty mixed.
Michelle Martin, from the London Evening Standard, wrote: "Ultimately, Pulse is a show that you’ll start and finish in one weekend, but have forgotten by the next."
While What to Watch's Sarabeth Pollock penned: "Pulse deftly balances the organized chaos of a Level 1 trauma center with the complicated personal and professional lives of the people who work there, culminating in a satisfying and heart-pounding experience."
Pulse is available to stream on Netflix right now.
