Hospital New Amsterdam

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
