New Amsterdam

[HuffleMyHuffle]

Does it get better? I loved Grey's and NA seemed ok at first but it's just a bit bland in comparison. Worth persevering?

It does draw you in a bit, but (assuming you are from the UK rather than the US) the storylines can seem a bit odd as many are political about healthcare systems. I watched it halfheartedly but have now given up on series 4. But I can't say why without giving a huge spoiler away.
Summary - mildly entertaining but the lead character is annoying and the key messages are off for non-US viewers.

I dont find the lead character annoying at all! Love the show, it can be a bit America cheese at times but it's a great watch.

I like it,it has some quite shocking moments that take you by surprise.

My absolutely fave is Chicago Med

I liked this
Watch it if it’s on more 4 but it seems to have disappeared

It got very political after the first couple of seasons and I felt like I was being lectured, rather than entertained.

Is Chicago Med better than Greys?

Call the midwife is a bit like that sometimes.

Any other hospital / medical series with strong female leads?

I like it. Up to series 3.

I like having a series that I don't feel the need to binge watch. It is a bit preachy and tends to have a theme per episode, but I found Greys Anatomy got a bit preachy too. Lots of social commentary.

I loved it! A few twists and turns when it was getting stale to shake things up a bit. I haven’t seen Grey’s or Chicago Med though.

@HuffleMyHuffle I wouldn’t say Chicago Med is better than Greys but I haven’t seen Greys for years now. I lost interest.

Code Black is brilliant too. I can’t remember what it’s on though.

Just watched series 3. I enjoyed series 1 & 2 but found this one a bit artificial. I agree with previous poster that said there was a theme to each episode. There was COVID, racism, native Americans, climate change and anti Vaxers. These issues are of course important but to have each episode Goodwin set out to “solve” these difficulties just seemed a bit unlikely. I think maybe I just prefer the focus on the relationships between staff and patients. It’s just a different slant I guess. Would still watch next series though!

I like it. Prefer Code Black though which was excellent. Also huge Greys fan. Another I liked is The Night Shift.

Yes, I liked code black as well. Was a shame it wasn’t renewed.

Absolutely loved Rob Lowe in Code Black too!

Season 4 of New Amsterdam has just started on Sky Atlantic. I love it. Particularly the lead character!
Ep 2 was last night.

No spoilers please!

It's on Sky Witness too, one of few things I can watch even though I don't have Sky Atlantic!

Thanks @Forconfessingonly annoying that they don’t release the whole series in 1 go though!

It's very annoying @Ballsaque I want to binge!

It seems to be getting really crap, I was shouting at the tv in the last one about the ice machine. It was such a telegraphed storyline.
