Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

mikshelt New Amsterdam is an example of smart, imaginative, creative shows that get no respect in Hollywood. I watched every episode and couldn't wait to see the next one.Nothing canned. Nothing stupid or predictable. You could believe this man was immortal, living multiple lifetimes and careers in his one life. It was well acted, well written, properly paced. New Amsterdam was well produced, from the title sequence, through the flashbacks, and the character development in each episode. Even the music scoring showed care in adding the most to the overall program. I was sorry the powers that be could see fit to continue the story to some conclusion. Much as what was allowed with "Angel".

j-art-davies After watching the first two episodes I must say I am liking this so far. I my opinion the Highlander references are not that important as the series is developing the concept in a quite original way. By is giving the main character a more down to Earth life and an acceptance of his fate/destiny they have given the series a sightly more believable feel. The interweaving of the supporting characters with the introduction of people from Amsterdam's past is adding immensely to my enjoyment of this show. I hope it can be developed into a program that is worthy of more than one series. I appears from previous comments that the scheduling at Fox may play a major part in whether the audience is retained after its good start.

ljfoor Now, granted, it's very early in the game on this show. And, also granted, there is nothing original in the initial premise/concept of this show. But I am giving New Amsterdam a chance because so far this show has taken the violence, incongruence, and subplots that I didn't care for in Highlander away (I much more like the premise of a never-ending search for true love) and it's a well-told story. I watched Highlander because I liked Duncan, I found his story compelling, and I was more interested in the character study (after 400 years, he was still trying to get stuff right!)and his story; the rest was peripheral. I like John as a character so far and I like that he's so up front about his life -- no secrets. The concept of staying connected to his son even works. The supporting characters seem just right. And, I like the NYC setting. This is essentially a writer-driven series, with a compelling cast, so I think for this show to stay promising and continue forward, the writing will have to stay strong throughout. Time will tell.

subliminal_flux Fox's new series shows some promise. It's got a potent mix of crime, mystery, drama, and even wit, that could be something really good, if given the chance. I'm sure the topic of a man who has lived for many centuries is not new, its problem is that, as far as I know, it hasn't worked on screen yet. I've read countless tales of such people, yet thinking back, I really cant picture it as a film or show. Perhaps this "New Amsterdam" can make it work, its got ability to anyway.On a side note, I'm liking the cast. I just wish I can pronounce their names. Im interested to see what Zuleikah Robinson can bring to the show, though she's only listed to be showing in 2 episodes by IMDb.com, i hope thats not all. You might recognize her from the HBO series, Rome.
