Given that much of this series does revolve in part around Max Goodwin, we have to start there. This is a character who has, time and time again, tried to reject any and all notion that his own care is most important. He’s probably going to continue to do that, just because that’s who we’ve learned this guy is. He often does focus on the job, which is great for the hospital in New York City but probably bad for himself — and ultimately, bad for the hospital when you remember that he needs to be in top shape in order to ensure that everyone is properly cared for in the end. Dr. Goodwin’s great with the short term, but he’s not thinking all that much in the long-term. That is more of what Georgia is there for, to go along with Dr. Sharpe — provided that Max listens to her as he really should.
Below, CarterMatt has the New Amsterdam episode 8 synopsis with some more news when it comes to what’s next:
11/20/2018 (10:01PM – 11:00PM) (Tuesday) : A patient’s treatment plan takes an unexpected turn when Max (Ryan Eggold) gets overly invested. Meanwhile, Reynolds (Jocko Sims) celebrates his birthday with some help from the hospital and Kapoor (Anupam Kher) grapples with a case that hits close to home. Also starring Freema Agyeman as Dr. Helen Sharpe, Janet Montgomery as Dr. Lauren Bloom, and Tyler Labine as Dr. Iggy Frome. TV-14 D
For those of you wanting some more happy news regarding Dr. Reynolds, this episode should prove to be an opportunity to do just that. After all, we have an opportunity next week to see something a little more lighthearted from him — something where he can hopefully let his guard down a little bit more. This could be fun for him, but given that this is a medical drama where things tend to go wrong at just about every turn, it’s hard to imagine anything different unfolding here.
Basically, be prepared for New Amsterdam episode 8 to give you something that is a little bit new, mixed with something that also gives you a nice sense of familiarity. While the show’s orchestral score is very much freeform jazz, there are some familiar beats when it comes to its storytelling. We’ve seen it at this point.
