New Amsterdam

After three episodes, I give a tentative thumbs-up to "New Amsterdam", on Fox on Monday nights at 9pm. It's an episodic police detective show, which generally doesn't thrill me. But the premise is intriguing, and so far they've been pulling it off.

( Slightly spoilery discussion of the premise and structure. )

Watch the first three episodes on the Fox website (or Bittorrent), or at least the pilot, directed by Lasse Hallström (although some important things don't get revealed until the second episode).
