Netflix has officially pulled the plug on Pulse, its first-ever US medical drama. Despite a strong debut, the show suffered a brutal 62% viewership collapse by week three.

While early development was underway, the numbers failed to justify a second season. The streamer is moving on, leaving this high-stakes experiment as a historic, short-lived casualty of the algorithm.
