Despite its name, Netflix’s new medical drama “Pulse” was dead on arrival. Time of death: 10 minutes into the show. Given how inundated television is with medical dramas, there needs to be some kind of hook to make a new one stand out against the competition. To boot, if audiences don’t care about the characters, everything else flatlines. I wanted to enjoy “Pulse,” but I was almost immediately bored. I’m a very character-driven person when it comes to TV, especially procedurals.

High school shows may have the numbers, but college shows bring the quality. One major perk? No awkward high school-to-college transition in season 4 — just straight into the chaos of dorm life, internships and 8 a.m. classes. Plus, college shows can tackle more adult themes, span more seasons and actually make sense when characters stay friends post-graduation.

Why does every single TV show have to try to find a way to awkwardly attempt a noir/black and white episode and why are they always some of the worst eps in any given series? Please stop this trope. I understand the impulse to experiment with styles, but it's so forced and bad.
