New Amsterdam
Fox :: Mon 9 pm
Another excuse for a crime drama, but with an intriguing uniqueness.
New Amsterdam follows the story of an immortal cop living in New York. After 400 years and 609 women, he’s still waiting for the one who will make him mortal. Sure, it sounds cheesy. ‘True love makes him mortal, but more alive than ever.’ (And the show uses that line or something like it almost every episode.) Aside from the writing being a bit weak, the show is pretty decent.
Because our main character has lived through four centuries, he’s constantly referencing classic literature, music, historic events, and intriguing details about every era. This makes the show. It’s like watching Pride & Prejudice, Pocahontas, Brave Heart, Chicago, Grease, and Law & Order at the same time. Sure, it sounds complex, but it makes for a really great crime drama.
The Season Finale is on Next Monday, April 14th. It’s definitely worth tuning in.
The kn team gives it 3/5.
Spoiler: Our hero has just found out that the woman he thought was going to make him mortal, isn’t the one, yet he’s already fallen for her (and it’s mutual). With many wives having come and gone through his life already, should he just live and love or push this love aside to continue his seach for the one? How is he supposed to tell the one he’s with? (Meanwhile, each episode invovles a homicide case.)
