 Very entertaining! March 26, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is quite simply a very entertaining show! If the concept of a show that's a cross between crime drama and romantic supernatural "stuff" appeals to you then you'll LOVE this series. It's well acted, the production values are very good - heck, it's even shot on location in NYC!!! - and worth the cost of downloading if you've missed any episodes. One of the few new shows on either "pay" OR "free" TV that I think is actually worth watching for its entertainment value.
 While the overall concept at first seems interesting March 25, 2008

the whole thing falls flat after the first 10 minutes. I mean, this guy is supposed to have lived through the deaths of friends, wives, children, but he exhibits all the emotional depth of a trout. I suppose if immortality was possible after the 2nd or 3rd century your emotions concerning the loss of loved ones might be a little blunted, but this guy is just plain blase and to top it all off, evidently the ultimate goal is to find his one true love so that he can die. There was nothing in the pilot, not writing, plot or acting interesting enough or even good enough to entice me into watching more episodes.
 Interesting new show March 24, 2008
Interesting new show. Not as fast paced as a lot of shows but it has an interesting plot. I see that it could get old but not bad at first. Dont see it lasting past 1st season though.

My sons and I have watched New Amsterdam since the first episode. We find it to be an interesting premise and so far good story lines. I was not aware of the Pete Hamill connection and since I haven't read the book it doesn't mar my enjoyment of the show. We don't watch much television together as a family so it's good to find things that we can enjoy together. I really like it personally and hope that it lasts.
A great new show with a great cast. March 18, 2008

After watching the first 3 episodes I have to say I throughly enjoy New Amsterdam. Though not 100% original(the use of flashbacks being just one) it has it's own unique flavor. I've always liked the stories about people who are immortal, Highlander being one of my favorite shows. There is so much you can tell about the human condition through the eyes of some one who has lived for centuries.
What I like about this show is that there is only one immortal(well as far as we know, kinda find it hard to believe that the Indians who granted John immortality would only do this for him and no one else or not even themselves). So no "There can only be one" off with their heads thing.
There are plenty of pleasant character surprises in this show. And that what this show is character driven. The cast works well together. And it seems if this show gets a chance(We all know what Fox does with good shows, look at Serenity and Drive) it can go on for a few seasons.
