Are you watching New Amsterdam?

Why not?

Oh, that's right. Cause it's getting GOOD and stupid FOX will probably cancel it.

But tonight was the second night in a row when it was really kind of a good story and I wasn't watching just because I like the scenery v. v. much.

You want Daddy Issues? John Amsterdam has fathered SIXTY THREE kids in four hundred years. This episode dealt with an entire branch of his impressive family tree (and that was a very cool detail) that has gone bad to the bone baby. I kinda laughed at the idea of Dutch mafia, but he's the pimp daddy of a mob family and feels guilty for the choices he's made and how his kids and grandkids might have ended up paying for his sins. It was those very sins in the flashback that make him about a thousand times more interesting than before.

I don't know, I'm jut a sucker for this story and the actor is quite impressive. It helps that I can focus on him and his acting because my brain is not swimming in a fog of lust. It took me three YEARS with a certain someone and even now I have to rewatch episodes three or four times before I can focus on anything else... ;)

tv, new amsterdam
