New Amsterdam aired its pilot on Tuesday, this week. This is the perfect show for those of us who are fascinated with death & at the same time enjoy watching crime dramas.
From the Fox website, the pilot is summarized as:
A brilliant New York homicide detective has a profound secret -- he is immortal. In response to a heroic action in his past, John Amsterdam will not age a day until he finds "the one." He has had many lives as he has roamed the city of New York for the past 400 years searching for his one true love.
Amsterdam's new police partner, Eva Marquez, can't wait to be transferred out of homicide. In the mean time she has to put up with a truly know-it-all partner. Omar is the only one who knows Amsterdam's secret and he's got one of his own.
When a murdered socialite causes John Amsterdam to cross paths with his past, it nearly kills him.
Last night, the second episode, Golden Boy aired.
Amsterdam and Eva investigate the suspicious death of a student at a prestigious New York City private school which leads to the revelation of a twisted "affair." One of Amsterdam's biggest secrets is revealed -- Omar is his son. In flashbacks to 1941, Amsterdam's relationship with Omar's mother is explained.
