There's a new show on Fox that I've been watching and it has been pretty interesting so far. I saw the trailers for their new series New Amsterdam and was sceptical at first but decided I would give it a chance, being the avid television watcher that I am!
I actually missed the first episode, but caught the second one that same week!
The premise of the series is this: "Debut: He has been immortal since he saved an Indian girl in 17th-century New Amsterdam, but it's a curse to present-day NYPD detective John Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) since it comes with a condition: He can't die, but he can't love..." (from the tvguide website I linked above)
So he's an immortal, this John Amsterdam guy and he's been around for 300 years and he's not a vampire?! Wow! Something kin of like Angel, the series I was addicted to, (along with Buffy), I seriously hope it will be interesting I thought to myself! So I watched the pilot episode and it was! More interesting was the fact that he had a son (Omar) who was 65 years old! The man himself is pretty young (and pretty!LOL!) so that was kind of weird! He plays the role with enough conviction to make it believable!
He meets his 'true love" but on this past episode he found out that...wait for it......she' s married! What a shocker! Now I want to see what they do next from there! Hopefully no cheating will go on, that would be just too predictable and in bad taste! I also want to see what became of Omar's mom Lily and I wonder if he has any other children with anyone else?!
