New Amsterdam was a New Kid on the Block of Medical Dramas that all paled in comparaison to iconic "ER (1994)" which lasted for 15 solid seasons.
New Amsterdam Riveting Series Finale "How Can I Help?" even has a hommage to ER with Dr. Wilder's childhood hero being Dr. Ross (George Clooney). In New Amsderdam the ER is the ED and Dr. Bloom is in charge. She battles drug addiction and has a wealthy family (a bit like Dr. Carter in ER).
The show starts stronger than any other TV.medical dramas I have seen (Chicago Hope, Scrubs, House, Grey's Anatomy. Etc.) and offers 2 solid seasons albiet not perfect by any stretch. Characters and story arcs come to life and the personal traumas of Dr. Goodwin (and Luna) are equal to his on screen charisma. Solid writing brings characters to life, until season three tries to be a bit too PC, woke and make Dr. Goodwin a bit cartoonish and foolish.
Season 3 is still good TV drama. Then Season Four soars above anything else and offers a run of over ten 10/10 episodes!! The best season I have seen in a while in any shows. Season 5 was still high quality. Better than season 1-3, but not as good as 4.
Season 5 has lots of space to immerse ourselves in the world of Dr. Wilder who is deaf. The sign langage is often not translated and the ambiguity and acting creates an atmosphere of patience and nonverbal communication perhaps trying to non ASL-speaker. I personally liked it and thought of the brilliant film Sound of Metal.
The series ends on a high note with a high calibre episode, epic surgery and amazing surprise at the end of the show! ENjoy the next best thing after ER (331 eps). I could have done with 1 season more, yet it is a satisfying 89 episodes. Kudos to the writers, directors and actors of this top notch show!
