New Amsterdam - Season 5 (2022 David Schulner)

Super-ethical doctor Ryan Eggold is back to help make NYC a safer, better place.

What? You can get child marriages in the USA? In some states as young as five??? What the fuck is going on? The more I know about the USA, the worse it becomes. And Roe v Wade - had to be addressed. Abortion is now illegal in 12 states, the only country in the world that's going backwards.

I suspect that Ryan and deaf surgeon Sandra Mae Frank - oh, sorry - you're probably not allowed to say 'deaf' any more - aurally challenged surgeon are falling for each other and in TV plot land that means Freema Agyeman will unexpectedly turn up again. (I miss Frank's squeaks already.) For some reason Netflix didn't add subtitles to the ASL sequences, which wasn't annoying at all.


"Bigfoot ahead!"

In adrenaline filled episode, the group go rock climbing - you know something bad will happen, and it does, cut against Floyd operating on friend's son whilst radiation is suddenly detected in theatre (a kind of make-it-you-as-you-go-along writing approach).

In a This Is Us-ish ending, Max's daughter in the future becomes the new medical director, signalling a series finale.
