There have been so, so, so many medical/doctor shows and for the most part they all suck, need I mention them? Recently though a few have come out that are actually great (in my views.) This is one of them. So much going on, so much activity and it's all about medicine. LOVE IT!! New Amsterdam is one of the few and what sets it apart from the others is there is no relationship drama, just good old medical stuff.
Because this show is set in Toronto, it has the same exact looks and feel as Flashpoint which was filmed in Toronto as well. Another one of my favorites.
The initial scene had me wondering where this was going. It was obvious that Bashir has medical skills, but I thought from the military. Maybe so, hope we find out. Crazy beginning scene had me squeezing my hands and clenching the pillows on the couch.
The cinematography was awesome as the folks from the truck going thru the restaurant were attended to. I didn't get why Bashir didn't take ownership of the folks he assisted in the restaurant...then I got it. The tension of this was palpable.
I wanted to give it 10/10, but need to see where it goes, please don't let me down.
As I'm reading the posted reviews, I see that they are dated back in February of 2020, yet episode 1 premiered here just last night on 1 September...hmmmm, but it's OK.
Can not wait till episode 2..........don't let me down.
Must watch if you haven't seen it yet.
score 9/10
