Netflix has made a decision on two of its freshman shows, The Residence and Pulse, and it is not good. Both series were cancelled after just one season.
The Residence, which starred Uzo Aduba and Giancarlo Esposito, was described as 132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion. With the cancellation of The Residence, Shondaland had a rare season one failure.
The Pulse is described as a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is suspended. Amid the worsening storm and an onslaught of trauma cases, the hospital goes into lockdown, and Danny and Phillips must find a way to work together – even as the bombshell details of a complicated and illicit romance between them begin to spill out. The rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of their relationship while balancing their own challenges, both personal and professional, as they work under the pressure of life-or-death stakes. Because for this tight-knit group of doctors, saving their patients’ lives is often less complicated than living their own.
Meanwhile, No Good Deed, an anthology series, which starred Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano for season one, is still waiting to find out if it will be back for another murder mystery.
