Where to Watch
Peacock PremiumThe new medical director breaks the rules to heal the system at America's oldest public hospital. Max Goodwin sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care, but the doctors and staff are not so sure he can succeed. They've heard this before. Not taking "no" for an answer, Dr. Goodwin's instinctive response to problems large and small is four simple words: "How can I help?" He has to disrupt the status quo and prove he'll stop at nothing to breathe new life into this underfunded and underappreciated hospital, returning it to the glory that put it on the map.
Who would love this
- ♥Viewers who enjoy medical dramas with a strong emotional core, a focus on systemic issues in healthcare, and characters who champion the underdog would likely love "New Amsterdam." Fans of shows like "ER" that balance patient stories with character development might also find it appealing. Those who appreciate optimistic narratives and a sense of hope, even in the face of adversity, will find much to enjoy.
Who might not
- ✗Viewers who prefer grittier, more realistic medical dramas or those who dislike sentimentality and a perceived lack of nuance in storytelling might find "New Amsterdam" frustrating. Audiences who are critical of shows that lean into "SJW" or overtly political themes may also be put off. Furthermore, those who felt the show lost its way in later seasons, particularly regarding its core message of championing public hospitals, might be disappointed.
