Dr. Max Goodwin is brilliant, charming -- and the new medical director at America's oldest public hospital. While he's set on tearing down the bureaucracy to provide exceptional care, the doctors and staff are not so sure. They've heard this before, and no one else has delivered on those promises. Not taking no for an answer, Max disrupts the status quo and proves he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital -- the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers Island and the president of the United States all under one roof -- and return it to the glory that put it on the map. Inspired by Bellevue in New York City.

Critics Consensus

Overcrowded, overwrought, and overly familiar, New Amsterdam plays more like an exquisite corpse of pre-existing shows than a breakthrough for the genre -- though that may be enough for medical drama devotees.

Andrew Dansby

Houston Chronicle

It's like The Good Doctor with cancery old guy instead of autistic young guy. It's like Grey's Anatomy with caring instead of boffing. It's like E.R. without a cardiology department. People are going to love it.

[New Amsterdam] takes itself so, so seriously.

The Atlantic

Addressing medicine's many ills requires acknowledging their complexity; New Amsterdam does the opposite, leaving only frustration and fear in its wake. For a show about healing the system, it may do real harm.

Another medical drama, which is I guess what the networks are bringing back with such force...

So a whole hospital is only run by a few doctors. Just seems odd that these few doctors are the only ones that can fix everything that happens. Also with all the longing looks and motivation speech made me feel a bit sick after a while. I couldn’t stand all the pauses for dramatic effect every time someone says anything

The first and fifth seasons are two of the best. I cried myself out on this last season because it's just too beautiful. Yes, it is a medicine show similar to others but this one includes diversity, includes relevant topics of today's world. I'm a student in a health field and I loved this show!
