New Amsterdam

I used to love this show, but in 2021 it's become incredibly preachy. I turn on the TV to be entertained.

If I want to be told how terrible the world is, I'll look at the news. Can we focus on the medical cases instead of Max saving the world/society in a new way every single week? They certainly trying to check every. Single. Box. I think I'm done with it.

The show is great, when it sticks to human level stories. But in season 3 Dr. Goodwin has become a cartoon character trying to solve a massive, new problem every week.

While other doctors are helping and healing, he manically runs around trying to end things that have plague the world for centuries. He thinks his pathetic shallow and ignorant attempts to "fix" something always works, but it's inevitably followed up by a lesson from the victim he's trying to help.

I literally fast forward when he's on the screen, simply because his stories never interacts with anything else on the show.

This show started great, it was fresh, and I liked the first two seasons. The characters were likeable, the stories were good, the patients and medical cases were plausible and believable. Then season 3 happened. Season 3 is unwatchable bad. Consider this show to be a two season show and you'll be happy with it.

Why force me to watch something i dont believe in!!! Season 3-10-11 horrible. Not necessary!!!! Such a good show ruined for me quickly.

I was impressed by the social commentary in the writing! Well acted. All the usual obvious stuff but a few hidden gems for the naive few who still want to enjoy a show about life.
