New Amsterdam S1-4

Based on Eric Manheimeris’s book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital, moreish medical drama New Amsterdam centres on Dr Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold from 90210 and The Blacklist), the new director at America’s oldest public hospital, New Amsterdam, who sets out to put saving lives above the bottom line, and breathe new life into this underfunded and underappreciated hospital.

But Max has had his own demons to battle, with a cancer diagnosis putting early strain on both his professional and personal life. Tragedy struck at the end of Season 1, leaving Max to pick up the pieces.

In Season Four, Max and the team at New Amsterdam are embracing a more hopeful future following a difficult year. After years of romantic tension, Max is finally acting on his feelings for Dr Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman), while continuing his quest to heal the broken healthcare system. But Max, Helen, and the rest of the staff find their optimism challenged by the arrival of Dr Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbe), a fixer who plans to reshape the struggling hospital by dismantling Max’s progressive programmes.

New Amsterdam has an 8.1/10 rating on IMDb. As Bustle says, “Every Grey’s Anatomy fan needs to watch this.”
