Review of New Amsterdam

New Amsterdam (2008)
6/10
Highlander for the new millennium ?
25 March 2008
This show is OK, seen the first 4 episodes. It borrows from the Highlander TV series in that the main character is immortal. He is made an immortal as a result of an act of kindness that he committed some 400 years ago and will only be made mortal again when he finds his one true love ? Well the historical flashbacks are OK and the show's a reasonable cop type show however the reason for his immortality is a bit daft and taking 400 years or more to find his true love is a bit stupid and kind of lame.

The idea behind the show is not as cool as highlander and is a bit of a wishy washy version of it. I guess it's better than Highlander the Raven but is in no way as entertaining as the original Duncan MacCloud based Highlander series. It's premise is just too soft and daft. Highlander for girls if you like ? Bring back Highlander this doesn't quite cut it.
