Pulse is Netflix ’s first English -language medical procedural.

The series is a blatant attempt to lure in kids who grew up on Grey's Anatomy .

Both shows revolve around a group of diverse, ambitious medical professionals who navigate life and love while also performing radical procedures at a moment's notice.

The most egregious copy-and-paste of all arrives in the show’s seventh episode.

Pulse feels as if an AI bot was asked to watch all 400-plus episodes of Grey's Anatomy , then spit out a show that mimics its core beats.

Last year , Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes balked at the idea that studios could intentionally replicate her first show's success.
