An acquaintance of mine works on the show, so I'm already committed to watching it, but I have so-so expectations for it. They're even more qualified because it seems unlikely FOX will pick it up.
So even if I really like it, and can be happy to watch it and support my friend's work on it...FOX will just pull the rug from 'neath us. Ugh-gain.
I'll agree that the plot does sound a bit cheesy on paper. After viewing an unfinished version of the pilot, however, I came away thinking they'd actually pulled it off rather well. The show itself is very gritty and realistic but for the main character's immortality so I think it helps ground the story.
In fact, I enjoyed it so much I set up a fansite and forum for it ( http://newamsterdam-forever.com ). I know the show got bad press early on due to swirling rumors but the fact is, if "enough" people watch it, FOX will renew it. All we can hope now is that FOX continues to market the heck out of it like they have over the last couple of weeks.

It definitely looks intriguing enough to give it a look. Besides, it's not like there's tons of other great stuff on at the moment.
It's stupid on paper. The show may or may not be cool. But if you think about, shouldn't his true love have been born in the same time he was.
I mean, seriously. Well, this is just another reason why I don't believe in true loves so poor guy just might live forever. Bummer.
