MichaelA.Mar 16, 20089The characters are generally likable and the writing is smart and funny. I was generally surprised that I would enjoy the show this much.

MasJ.Mar 5, 20084Season premiere was surprisingly slow and the gimmick of older people recognizing the star as an acquaintance from long ago was already strained.

KristinaJ.Apr 10, 200810This is the best show out there. It's original and the fact that its a combination between a crime series and sci fi makes it suspenseful.

CodyB.Mar 10, 20089Its about time Fox comes out with a series different than the crap they usually release. I hope they get more into his past and spend a little more time doing it. It would be cool if they tie some of the murder mysteries in with his past.

BK.Apr 10, 200810I rarely get caught up in TV drama, much less police/detective shows. This one has me spell-bound. Good story line, great acting, fast-moving, humor, and underlying thoughtful issues about time and relationships. Wow!

ScottP.Apr 14, 20089Love the show, and love the blending of history into the show. Some of the flashbacks are a bit to long.

MelissaW.Mar 11, 20085The main character is a bit boring. I just can't get used to his son being 30 years older than him. I just couldn't get into the show. It moved at a really slow pace.

AdriM.Mar 4, 20088Interesting since the begining. John Amsterdam is a very interesting character. Let's hope they don't waste it with just the police investigations plot.

LindaK.Apr 14, 200810Love the show. Vaulted to our family's favorite show... over House and the CSI's. Totally unique concept. I find the history references refreshing. Please bring N.A. back next season!

HåvardApr 16, 20089Great show, easily my favorite show out there right now. Really like the historic perspectives, the main character and the fact that he has had/have kids. The Highlander series was also a nice idea, but it always lacked the emotional background of 1 person being the father of whole generations and seeing them evolve. Something the writers should be able to make some really nice episodes out of.

DaveB.Mar 11, 20086Not that bad a show - not that good either, but about a hundred times more watchable than the dreadful Canterbury's Law.

New Amsterdam is smart and far more original than most of the new series this season, which warrants it becoming a Monday habit.

30The whole enterprise is very shoddy and predictable, and I can't imagine that anyone involved did this for anything but a paycheck.

The debuting metaphysical cop drama comes on like a randy high schooler, dumping too much backstory too fast. [7 Mar 2008, p.88]
