New Amsterdam - Season 2 (2019 David Schulner)

Michael Slovis is a producer and frequent director, before that he shot 48 (of 62) episodes of Breaking Bad.

The main fallout from that crash: Max is now a single dad. Plus Lauren thinks she's become a sex addict (with therapist JJ Feild) to cope with pain from her leg injury.

A psychopathic Korean child proves to be beyond Frome's help. Max's new assistant is a veteran. Floyd has a promising student.


We know Feild from Northanger Abbey, The Pale Horse, Austenland, Perfect Strangers, Rory's Way and Turn Up Charlie.

Er. Rykers' women escape in hospital and stab patient. Helen is ridiculously demoted for helping a drug addict. Iggy and his husband are counselled. Pregnant Ella (Dierdra Fiel) moves in with Vijay. Dr Reynolds' girl Evie, Margot Bingham, moves to San Francisco. Max goes on a play date. Austin Pendleton turns up as a malnourished man. (He would have been 79.)

The season's ending coincides with the pandemic, though they chose instead to introduce the new character, Daniel Dae Kim.

Note: Blues singer Bessie Smith was not refused entry to a whites only hospital - that was a myth perpetuated in a play by Edward Albee. However the fact that hospitals could be segregated at all is quite outrageous.
