New Amsterdam S1-3

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 Three, Max and his team face the daunting task of sustaining their optimism while dealing with a pandemic that exposed the gaping inequities in healthcare. Max is no longer content to fix a broken system. He’s determined to tear it down and build something better.

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