When NBC’s New Amsterdam opens, it feels like any other medical show. A handsome doctor rises early, puts on sweats, and runs through the streets of New York, ending up at a hospital. In the first five minutes, the audience meets paramedics, patients who are on their way to the hospital, and other doctors. The handsome doctor ends up in the locker room, and soon viewers learn that he can speak Spanish fluently and is the new medical director, there for his very first day. Before the episode hits the 10-minute mark, the new medical director has introduced himself to a room of doctors and fired the entire cardiac-surgical department. That’s when most viewers realize that New Amsterdam is not like other medical shows.Inspired by Dr. Eric Manheimer’s memoir, Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital, New Amsterdam ran for five seasons on NBC beginning in 2018. In February 2023, just after the show’s final season aired and the 3rd and 4th seasons landed on Netflix, New Amsterdam rose to the number two spot on the Nielsen streaming chart and stayed there for several weeks. The show had over 1 billion viewing minutes across all 76 episodes on both Netflix and Peacock, and viewers who were already fans of the show weren’t surprised. Binge-watch, anyone?One of the most unique things about New Amsterdam is the hospital’s medical director, Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold). His primary concern is to make sure New Amsterdam Hospital serves the public. That’s what the hospital has always done, and that’s what he wants to ensure it will always do. His opening action of firing the cardiac-surgical department is only the beginning of this — every decision Max makes is about making New Amsterdam Hospital more available to people who need it. His regular battles with board members ensure the audience knows that if they showed up at New Amsterdam Hospital, Max Goodwin would be on their side.RELATED: Peacock Premium Prices to Rise in AugustRELATED: Netflix’s Password-Sharing Crackdown Sees Limited Subscriber Cancellations
