New Amsterdam Spoilers
New Amsterdam is a new series that will air on FOX starting on March 4. We were able to get spoilers for three of the 8 episodes produced. Here is all we have (note that our episode numbers may be slightly off):
Episode 1.02 will feature various flashbacks with Lily Mae Brown, an African-American woman in her 40s who is said to be beautiful. We also meet Hannah Clearly, a British 30-year-old who works at Drew Academy as faculty advisor; Jack Shaw, a working class doorman; and Corey, a smart 5-year-old African-American boy.

Episode 1.04 will be titled "Honor." Amartya Vikram, an Indian supermodel, is raped and stabbed. Luckily, the woman survives. She agrees to help the police only if her name is kept secret. When the rapist is arrested and released on a technicality, she turns to Amsterdam to protect her. In flashbacks from 1813, we discover that one of Amsterdam's ex-girlfriend, Fanny, was raped.

A new recurring character that may become a series regular will be introduced around episode 1.05. Callie Barnett is a Detective sergeant. She has had a relationship with Amsterdam a long time ago. Since getting pregnant by the target of an undercover investigation, Barnett is keeping her private life extremely private which has everyone working with her speculate about who she really is. The baby is being raised by Callie's mother, Louise. Callie is set to be tough, intuitive, reckless at times and extremely competitive. Source: SpoilerFix.com

Pilot Review "New Amsterdam" (FOX)
Premise: This drama series tells the story of a brilliant and enigmatic New York homicide detective, John Amsterdam, who has a profound secret: He is immortal, and will not age until he meets his one true love.
Starring: Alexie Gilmore as Sara Dillane, Nikolaj Coster Waldau as John Amsterdam, Stephen Henderson as Omar, Zuleikha Robinson as Eva Marquez.
Review: Even if I saw only the first 15 minutes of the first of 7 episodes, I must say I'm intrigued. If you are a fan of Moonlight or Journeyman, this series should interest you.
The lead character is as enigmatic as Mick St. John and Dan Vasser are. The supporting characters, especially Amsterdam's new partner, sound interesting and promising.
The case of the week seems to ressemble those featured in Moonlight (sans vampires) and episodes will feature flashbacks of Amsterdam's life (and he has been around for a loooong while!). The "must find true love to become mortal again" storyline will help bring a human touch to this drama while offering a continuous story that will link together all episodes.
The 15 minutes I've watched were enough to have me want to come back for more before making an official decision about the show.
New Amsterdam will premiere on Friday, February 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX (yes, Moonlight's timeslot!).
