Default Re: New Amsterdam

Still mixed thoughts after the third episode... intriguing, but aside from the "one true love" thread, everything seems to wrap up nicely in each episode. There don't appear to be any other long-running story threads, which is great for the pablum-eating unintelligent masses, but fails to capture the necessary mindshare for really intriguing television (like Lost or CSI).

The whole "older-looking person, I'm your dad" thing will undoubtedly wear thin after a while, if not already. It looks like the process of his kids working for him will continue to be (over)used in each generation... I concur, though... watching your kids grow old and die again and again would have to be hard, and I would think would harden your heart. Perhaps that will show up in a future episode...

They're already using some of the Highlander ploys... where he was a celebrated craftsman or artist, and creates new works long after his "death". I'll be curious to see how many more they use...

In any case, I'll watch it again next week, just to see what happens.
