Has the question thread migrated?
I'm up in the air on it so far. The basic premise (he'll live until he finds his one true love, and then he'll finally grow old and die) kind of works, and it's got the Highlander elements of having gone through life before.
There are things that concern me as far as its long-term potential. For example, him going to an AA meeting and announcing that it's been 15,373 days since his last drink (more than 42 years, if you're counting) *really* doesn't do much to help him remain incognito. And commenting about someone sounding like his last 609 girlfriends... same thing.
IOW, if it's been put together by a standard writer trying to utilize the highlander-type plot line as a hack, fuhgeddaboudit. If it's being put together by someone trying to establish an ongoing intelligent series, I've got high hopes. Until it gets canceled, that is... 'cause intelligent series don't seem to last long...
As for the city.... it was called New Amsterdam until the English conquered it in 1664...
