When we last off with New Amsterdam, Max (Ryan Eggold) collapsed away from the hospital at a vacation spot. Tonight at 10p (yes NBC is still airing it at 10p), the episode picks up exactly where it left off.
Georgia (Lisa O’Hare) runs towards her husband’s lifeless body and calls Dr. Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) to find out what to do. Sharpe instructs her to cut a hole in her husband’s neck to help him breathe. It works, but Max is still unconscious.
Max is airlifted back to New Amsterdam. As Sharpe awaits his arrival, she tells the other doctors that Max has cancer. It is a shock to all of them and they each deal with it differently. That is with the little time they have to process it because their main goal now is to save Max. Can they put their emotions aside to save the life of the man who has changed all of their lives?
The one life he changed the most was his wife’s. Tonight, you will see how they met and fell in love. It is a sweet story, that shows off Eggold’s flirting skills. Something his face does separately from him. I just love how his facial expressions are its own charming character.
Everything about New Amsterdam is charming. If you are not watching this medical drama, then you are missing out on a truly great show. Instead of scaring us with rare illnesses and diseases, they focus on caring for the patient. It is what makes this show different than the others like it. Different is just what the doctor ordered.
