4.0 out of 5 stars not earth-shatteringly great, but still. . ., March 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New Amsterdam (Amazon Instant Video)
There are things I don't like about this show. I can see that already, and I've only viewed two episodes. For example, I am a bit irked by how knowing the main character is. He seems almost psychic, but then--he has the advantage of wisdom gained over decades and decades of living. When I keep that in mind, I can ignore how know-it-all he sounds at first listen. I do like that lead character, though. The actor who plays him (whose name I won't destroy by mucking up the spelling here) does a good job of walking that line between humor and sarcasm, and he's good with emotion, too. There's one scene in the pilot where his heart gives out on him, and the expressions crossing his face were just excellently done.

The premise is a neat one, too. I like the whole idea of him searching for his soul mate, and I like the fact that he's clearly been really searching for her and that he hasn't been a user and abuser in his search. He's pretty liberal in his approach to humanity, and I like that as well.

The photography is nicely done as well, as are all the scenes showing New York shifting and changing from John Amsterdam's early life to the current landscape.

This was a very compelling show about a man blessed or cursed with immortality until he finds a true love.
Great cast and very well written.
