New Amsterdam (Season 1 discussion) May include spoilers

[Enigma]

Started watching New Amsterdam from the start because the little bit I saw I could tell it was going to be a good show. A quick rundown of what the show is about is this:

Doctor Max Goodwin just because New Amsterdam's newest medical director. New Amsterdam has a history of medical directors all lasting less than a year. He made a pact with his wife that they'd both slow down for their incoming baby, and after she quit her dream job being a New York dancer he took the job of being medical director, so when the show starts he has to kind of win her back. Oh, and did I mention he secretly has cancer?

So far I'm to the point where he tells his wife he has cancer finally...... Like a week before he starts chemo and it would have been impossible to hide.

Okay, kept watching last night and now Iggy was able to find a home for Gemma, but it's kind of weird because I sort of get this vibe that Gemma loves Iggy, but I don't want to end up spoiling it for myself. The only thing I know is she doesn't appear after this season.


Dr Kipoor has made amends with his son, which actually raises some questions for me because my wife actually watched the show before I did so I picked up some details while it was playing in the background and I know his son is referenced in a negative way later on in the series so I'm really curious how it gets to that point.

Doctor Bloom's addiction to adderall is starting to come to light because she ended up almost killing someone and while playing it off as no big deal to her chief nurse Casey until he reveals that he's covered for her a ton of times and that it's just been getting worse and tells her flat out that this time the patient could have died.


I'm hoping to by bed time tonight be around episode 15 or 16. Depends on how much time I get to watch tonight.

Finished season 1 and it was crazy. I knew Georgia was going to die, but I thought she died giving birth. I didn't know she died because a cocaine addict stole an ambulance and crashed into the one she was on like a block from the hospital and actually STILL was alive beyond that.
