    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 a different plot.

    A group of us like New Amsterdam but we are fed up with the music played when characters are talking. Enough with the drums, horns etc. when there is dialogue going on. It is totally pointless and disturbing. After watching last episode we all decided, not to watch the show anymore as the music is pointless and you can't hear the characters speaking. ENOUGH!!!

    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.

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

    I disagree that this not a real life story that CAN and DOES happen in the OR, Hospitals everywhere and very true how things are in the real world...I worked in neonatal care for over 7 years and people who judge this series need to get w/the real world, Get a Clue and realize that things do happen just like this each and every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OF THE NEW TELEVISION SERIES "NEW AMSTERDAM"

    BY: BEVERLY H KOLBER

    WHERE OH WHERE IS DOCTOR KILDARE WHEN YOU NEED HIM?

    YOU WON'T FIND HIM AT BELLEVUE HOSPITAL OR NEW AMSTERDAM MEDICAL CENTERS.

    THAT'S FOR SURE.

    IF YOU WERE GLUED TO YOUR TV WATCHING "NEW AMSTERDAM" THEN YOU KNOW THAT IT IS A PERFECT TIME TO TAKE A BATHROOM BREAK, RAID THE FRIG AND SNOOZE FOR AN HOUR BEFORE THE NEXT PROGRAM OR THE 11 O'CLOCK NEWS.

    IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR OR TAKE MEDICATION, "NEW AMSTERDAM" IS THERE FOR YOU, FREE OF CHARGE.

    I MUST ADMIT I HAD A CRUSH ON RYAN WHEN HE PLAYED TOM ON THE "BLACKLIST" BUT IT DISAPPEARED AFTER LISTENING TO THE CORNY LINES HE MUST SAY ON "NEW AMSTERDAM" THROUGH NO FAULT OF HIS OWN, WITH A RIDICULOUS STORYLINE.

    I ALSO MUST STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT I HAVE NEVER, EVER HAD A DOCTOR SERENADE ME AT BELLEVUE.

    OF COURSE, I AM WILLING TO LEAVE MY OPTIONS OPEN.

    IF SAG/AFTRA HAS OPEN DOOR NEXT YEAR, I SUGGEST THAT ALL THE ACTORS ON THE SERIES GO AND AUDITION.

    YOUR PENSION AND HEALTH INSURANCE DEPENDS ON IT.

    BELLEVUE ON FIRE.....

    THE REAL SCOOP FOR THE "NEW AMSTERDAM"
    TELEVISION SERIES.

    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.

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

    New Amsterdam makes it clear this isn’t just going to be a regular medical drama. This is going to be a very, very dumb medical drama. ... The show’s stated intent--to be a medical fantasy about doctors actually helping people--is beautifully dumb, but at least it’s occasionally funny.

    It’s a fine if unremarkable broadcast network-style series.

    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.
