I really loved this series until Season 3 - then it started getting overly preachy about one issue or another in every single episode. I found it quite disappointing.

Why oh why are they ruining this show? It always had a liberal bent but season three, it's unbearable. How do the writers not sense this? I'm not even conservative per se and I find the constant proselytizing a huge drag. It's unrelenting. Every episode brings a new liberal lesson to bludgeon the audience to pieces.

Hollyweird, please stop this. Please find a way to come back to sanity, come back to the middle. This show has good actors and interesting material that doesn't need the sermons. Give your audience a break already. Give them the feel-good hospital drama they came for.

A medical drama without everyone sleeping with each other! Thank you!

Another doctor show just seems like it could be overkill on yet another doctor show but Ryan Eggold's portrayal of the new medical director who actually tries to teach doctors to live by the hypocratic oath and advocate for patients regardless of the money that the hospital may or may not make. This show looks at the human side of medicine and that is refreshing.

What the heck happened. This was a medical show. Doctors, diseases, people. Now it's insanity. Max runs amuck every episode determined to change the world NOW. It's no longer about a hospital, too much personal lives and not enough cases. Someone please go find a writer and watch season 1, and save the show! We're about done with the lunacy.

I have not gotten hooked on a medical show since Chicago Hope, but New Amsterdam has all the qualities I love. It's not high paced, it's not crass, it's not overly dramatic. It's perfect. It has allowed me to get to know the characters and to Care about them. I wait each week for the next show. A+

I was impressed by the social commentary in the writing! Well acted. All the usual obvious stuff but a few hidden gems for the naive few who still want to enjoy a show about life.

Well it's finally portrayed that there are human emotions in a hospital, I can understand the portrayal of the doctors always having a conflict between duty and their private lives having my wife pass on with cancer at a local hospital here in NJ. I was amazed that while I sat by her bedside, the many doctors that had assisted in her illness came by to comfort me. I would hope that this would be the prevailing attitude in today's world but money & profit seem to be winning now.

I used to love this show, but in 2021 it's become incredibly preachy. I turn on the TV to be entertained.

If I want to be told how terrible the world is, I'll look at the news. Can we focus on the medical cases instead of Max saving the world/society in a new way every single week? They certainly trying to check every. Single. Box. I think I'm done with it.

The show is great, when it sticks to human level stories. But in season 3 Dr. Goodwin has become a cartoon character trying to solve a massive, new problem every week.

While other doctors are helping and healing, he manically runs around trying to end things that have plague the world for centuries. He thinks his pathetic shallow and ignorant attempts to "fix" something always works, but it's inevitably followed up by a lesson from the victim he's trying to help.

I literally fast forward when he's on the screen, simply because his stories never interacts with anything else on the show.

Finally a medical drama without the usual drama. It's not about the endless romance between the doctors and nurses; it's not focused on the sexual perks and pains of the staff's sexual life, it is really focused about the medical aspect of the hospital. The characters are very refreshing and particularly Ryan Eggold is so endearing in his first remarkable role, I've actually never paid much attention to him before. I just hope it doesn't get cancelled prematurely, like it seems to be happening to all good shows lately that are not about superheroes.

The first 2 seasons were exceptional, this was one of the better medical dramas. What the "F" happened? Season 3 has become both nothing but a social justice movement. It's completely changed, every week it's a new lesson on BLM, climate change, colonialism, etc. Please just STOP!!!!!!!

First off, I'm not a political person. If anything I would say I lean to the left, but try to see both sides of issues. Season 1 and 2 were uplifting and entertaining. I recommended it to everyone I knew. I noticed the diversity in the cast and thought it was cool (especially adding a person with dwarfism as a resident). But season 3 has been a complete write off. They lost the magic that the first 2 seasons had and left me wondering if they gotten new writers. Because, the writing is truly awful this season. Some of the characters are acting unlike they were before. Max is just running around trying to save the world and every new episode makes him look sillier. Their only aim for season 3 is to include every social issue they can think of and at the expense of the show. I have decided to stop watching, because as much I loved this show, I can't take the poor writing quality and direction of season 3. It's such a shame, this show used to be so good.

Best new show I've seen. Interesting storylines and tear jerking. Ryan Eggold is outstanding

This show conjured fond memories of ER and a House. Ryan Eggold is riveting! He brings complexity to both the show and his character - so passionate, determined and vulnerable. The rest of the cast are great as well. They packed a lot into the first episode. It will be exciting to see how the show and character developments will unfold. I know I will be waiting for every episode. Hopefully they will avoid the cliche pitfalls that plague most hospital dramas - romantic entanglements and a constant barrage of traumatic events directly involved the staff.

Sometimes I feel like medical dramas are all the same, but I'm not sure there was something about this show that I really like. I've only seen the first episode, but I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

Loved this show ... the critics reviews are saying terrible things but what do they know they always slam the really good shows anyway ... it's just nice to watch a show where someone actually cares about people and wants to do good ... Ryan Eggold is amazing In this show cant wait to watch next week

Why force me to watch something i dont believe in!!! Season 3-10-11 horrible. Not necessary!!!! Such a good show ruined for me quickly.

Only saying the other day that I'm getting tired of he weak story lines in all my favourite shows and needed something new......... and watched N.A annnnnnd is hooked just done the 12 episodes in last 4 day, addictive to say the least. Not full of in your face STAT! QUICK INCUBATE! Gushing blood and odd ball graphic injuries. They seem to have approached it with humanising characters and ongoing background stories to each character that haven't all been full revealed as yet. Looking forward to the next instalment of episodes in May. Well done Amazon.

At the beginning of the series, Max was so likable and caring. He's turned into an irritating, unlikable guy. The psychiatrist also has become weird and Unlikable. I miss the Indian doctor. The show is now dealing with too many liberal ideas instead of the drama of interpersonal relationships and medical stories.

This show started great, it was fresh, and I liked the first two seasons. The characters were likeable, the stories were good, the patients and medical cases were plausible and believable. Then season 3 happened. Season 3 is unwatchable bad. Consider this show to be a two season show and you'll be happy with it.

Season 1 and 2 was so amazing but season 3 is just emotional crap, nothing medical anymore!!!!!

First 3 seasons are great, but stop it there. They changed the show a couple episodes in to season 3, just follow the reviews and it's obvious. Apparently this show thinks every white male should be erased from history and should not exist in the future, but I thought we didn't see color and where not judging people anymore? This show is so bad, everyone I know that used to watch it has stopped, and no, not all my friends are white males.
