Season 1 Review: 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 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

Season 1 Review: Heartfelt, well-meaning and dull. ... Mr. Eggold has an easy charisma, but ... It all feels too smooth and forgettable. Read full review

For the longest time I had been searching for a show to replace House M.D. and for awhile I thought this might be it but somewhere between the first and second seasons they stopped focusing on engaging stories and cases in lieu of making political or social messages in their episodes, I justFor the longest time I had been searching for a show to replace House M.D. and for awhile I thought this might be it but somewhere between the first and second seasons they stopped focusing on engaging stories and cases in lieu of making political or social messages in their episodes, I just want a show that pulls me out of current affairs and allow me to forget what's going on in the world but it seems like this show wants to slam your face right in it every 15 or so minutes.

The good things it has going is the characters are very engaging and the actors and actresses perform very well in the roles and when they choose to the stories and cases are actually really good, I particularly like Iggy Fromme's character but everytime I start to get just a little immersed he will be "making a statement".

It's a long shot but should the writers ever read this, you have a good show obviously it is up to 5 seasons now but if you would just focus on the stories and not the message you are shoving down our throats you would have a great show that could stand toe to toe with other medical dramas so for all the reasons listed I can't give it more than a 3 because as my teachers told me about plays and acting is that a great story makes you forget you aren't part of the story.… Expand

The show is preachy beyond words. Almost every scene villifies the free market and our current health care system. It STRONGLY advocates for socialist medicine, with no description as to how free medical care and medicine will be paid for. Characters are one dimensional.

So nowadays white people can't say a **** without being called racists, and black man can refuse dating a girl because she's white? This is kind of equality black people are trying to enforce.
