New Amsterdam (NBC) #1 : “How can I help?”
 

Dr. Max Goodwin is brilliant, charming -- and the new medical director at America's oldest public hospital. While he's set on tearing down the bureaucracy to provide exceptional care, the doctors and staff are not so sure. They've heard this before, and no one else has delivered on those promises. Not taking no for an answer, Max disrupts the status quo and proves he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital -- the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers Island and the president of the United States all under one roof -- and return it to the glory that put it on the map. Inspired by Bellevue in New York City.

Thanks for starting this Jen. I loved the premiere! It was so sad to find the reveal at the end of his cancer. :(

oh i know. i was not expecting that at all

But I hope it's not going to kill him in the end, I hope he can beat it, that might be the story arc for him this first season. :nod:

he better beat it. he is the star of the show

I have a feeling it might be a set up if for some reason it doesn't get renewed and they will close out the show with him dying, and if it's renewed he'll beat it! :lol:

How are people liking this show? I keep meaning to start it.

I really like the show and its group of characters.

It's a fantastic show Leigh! I love it a lot. :nod:

Thanks for that news Jen! :woot:
