Photo from NewAmsterdam-Forever.comThe time has come. The season (hopefully not series) finale for New Amsterdam will air on Monday, April 14. The show’s future status is of some concern to me, as press releases and media promotions have virtually dried up for the show. But, after looking at the viewer numbers that NA has been getting (which I think have been in the 6.5 million range), and comparing that to the season premier of Battlestar Galactica (which only drew 2.1 million viewers), I would like to think New Amsterdam would have a life somewhere since there clearly is an audience. Its star, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, has made quite an impression and is probably THE draw for the show. Personally, I think they need some cast changes and maybe some consistency in direction for this show to really shine. My episode reviews may have seemed harsh, and they were that way for a reason. I hoped that the people involved in this show had read them, and took those criticisms constructively in order to make a more solid and more appealing show in the future. The show has great possibilities.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

THIEVES OF LOVE ARE FOUND ON THE SEASON FINALE OF
"NEW AMSTERDAM" MONDAY, APRIL 14, ON FOX
Still recovering from his recent gunshot wound, John and Eva investigate what looks to be the drowning death of a young woman. The victim’s death may be related to a string of robberies of wealthy men linked to a dating service. While on the case, John has flashbacks of his life in the 1920s, when he was a grifter and stole a precious diamond pendant from his lover. John also questions if Sara is “the one” who will make him mortal, and as a result, begins to pull away from her. He doesn’t want to hurt her by being untruthful about his past and the quest to find his soulmate on the season finale episode of NEW AMSTERDAM, “Love Hurts,” airing Monday, April 14 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
