Tonight, Fox aired a new show called New Amsterdam. The show revolves around a homicide detective, Amsterdam, who won’t die until he finds his soul mate. He gets this reward, or curse depending on your viewpoint, from a Native American shaman. I’m not really sure why he become immortal, but it doesn’t revolve around a vampire who can only be out at night or any other paranormal handicaps, just a guy who has lived a really long time who has lost of experience. It’s actually kind of nice. This is a show that can attract a wide audience. It’s another crime show to attract the CSI/L&O junkies, yet it has that paranormal angle of immortality to attract those looking for something different. We’re going to see how Amsterdam handles having a partner, the search for his soul mate, and how he handles never being able to die.

Overall, I think the show has a lot of promise. It’s something that Jesse and I can watch - I get my paranormal fix and he gets a show with a decent plot.
