New Amsterdam - Season 1
Through a chain of dramatic events, the series follows Dr. Max Goodwin who has done so well in his work since he began in it, the thing that qualified him to be the manager of the oldest public hospital in America. But Max doesn't like conditions there, the funds are so low and there is few staff. He intends to get this historical hospital back to its' old great position.

New Amsterdam, like its supposed hero, ostensibly has good intentions... But in the meantime, it's weighed down by an albatross of a main character who, despite his best and oft expressed wishes, isn't helping much at all.

Plan for your eyes to well up with tears during New Amsterdam, but also plan to be frustrated at the same time.

It is as baldly manipulative and corny as heck - the pilot ends with a Coldplay song - and even a little ridiculous. But the actors sell it, and the fact that the action can seem so unlikely oddly just makes it more compelling. If only!

No, seriously, another network hospital show with all the same old predictable beats? Yes, sigh. Another one of those.Seriously.

Nobody is trying to reinvent the wheel, but maybe the wheel doesn't need to be reinvented.

New Amsterdam the show, not just the hospital, needs a good, thorough shakeup.

You think This Is Us is manipulative? New Amsterdam gives master classes in the technique to much lesser effect.

The acting is fine, but this feels like every other medical show, in a format that's changed little since ER started 24 years ago.
September 25, 2018
The long-term diagnosis is iffy at best, with the main characters and their cases coming off as not that special or interesting. Some creative surgery is needed, lest New Amsterdam risk expiring prematurely on its own operating table.

Even if you are familiar with television's tendency to make shows about great white-dude geniuses who tell everybody else what's what and inspire the uninspired, the bluntness of the instrument at issue here might surprise you.
