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. Read full review

New Amsterdam will satisfy fans of the genre. It’s somewhat predictable, with a moderate dose of prime-time soapiness. But with Eggold’s strong performance and an interesting supporting cast, this show could be the right prescription to attract a following. Read full review

New Amsterdam tends to rather tidily resolve all of its patient crises in these first two episodes. It also can get treacly at times, particularly when Coldplay’s “Fix You” hovers over the closing minutes of the premiere hour. The long-term diagnosis is iffy at best, with the main characters and their cases coming off as not that special or interesting. Read full review

New Amsterdam...is not based on one show but every medical drama in TV history going right back to 1954's Medic. Read full review

It doesn't do much good having a hospital in which basically every permutation of medical case is possible if every case feels like a pale imitation of something that worked on another medical show. Read full review

Heartfelt, well-meaning and dull. ... Mr. Eggold has an easy charisma, but ... It all feels too smooth and forgettable. Read full review

The best medical dramas have something going for them besides the blood and scrubs. This one is simply dead on arrival. Read full review

New Amsterdam is a great tv show.
There is a great story that I can relate to socially, medically about everyday life.
There is no profanity and nudity and I think this is a refreshing change.
Please keep this show.

However, it has gritty feel to it that makes it feel more real. The producers and directors are choosing topics that need to have light shed on them: racism, employing women of color, police brutality, putting people's needs above greed and profit, and nontraditional family structures. It even sheds light on the deteriorating effects of climate change and covers recent health scares like Ebola. In addition to all the topics, the cast is amazing. They have good chemistry with each other and really sell their roles and positions on matters.

Based on the reviews I've read it appears the super conservative and blue lives matter people don't appreciate the show, but more shows like this need to be broadcast to educate and remove their narrow minded views from our diverse and culturally growing community.… Expand

"How can I help?" is a phrase that more people should use in life. Ryan Eggold does a great job as the new medical director, and I love that his character genuinely wants to help and make a difference. I look forward to seeing how he and the rest of the cast do that each week.

Another medical show but this time we are supposed to like the boss. Not certain I do. Self destructive behavior is hard to watch for very long.

Some potential, but I think the cancer issue needs to be resolved and fairly soon. Otherwise just kill him off and try for another pilot with aAnother medical show but this time we are supposed to like the boss. Not certain I do. Self destructive behavior is hard to watch for very long.

This show is liberal propaganda being shoved down our throats. From support of Black Lives Matters (thugs), to "how could anyone live here in the US", to gay men kissing.

From support of Black Lives Matters (thugs), to "how could anyone live here in the US", to gay men kissing. It sets up the conservative boogeyman to be beaten down by post-modern political correctness. Too many new shows fail because liberal "enlightened" writers try to force-feed liberal politics into them because we, the unwashed masses need to be indoctrinated on the current liberal fads. Stay away from this dog. Same thing happened with Designated Survivor. We want good stories, not democrat propaganda.… Expand

I enjoyed this show right up to the point when their bigoted producers decided to portray all cops as dumb white minority child hunters. The portrayal was so bigoted and twisted that I could barely finish the episode. I had hope some kind of balance would be restored but no such luck.I enjoyed this show right up to the point when their bigoted producers decided to portray all cops as dumb white minority child hunters. The portrayal was so bigoted and twisted that I could barely finish the episode. I had hope some kind of balance would be restored but no such luck. Bigotry is bigotry. There is not an acceptable form or an acceptable group to be hated. Hollywood has learned that it can profit from being openly bigoted towards Cops, Jews, Christian, whites and men. Their greed is so deep that they will openly promote hate and exploit women and the gay community to make a buck. The worst part is that they have customers who happily eat this stuff up.… Expand
