This started promising, with some challenging ideas and characters. It's nothing new for us Europeans where medical care is nothing like in USA, not even in poorer countries like mine, but it has nice medical stories and interesting enough characters, although, to be honest, nothing we haven't seen before million times. In my country New Amsterdam started showing at the same time as The Resident, and while Resident went into some unexplored themes, like medical criminal, really challenging ideas about abuse of power in medicine and medication field, explored interesting cases and had decent growth over the time (and great characters with which you can relate), New Amsterdam started going downhill really fast especially during season 3.
There is diverse show and there is forced diversity and "too woke" shows and this one got into second category. Dr Max has typical "white savior" syndrome and he just can't let anything go, even when he literally endangers the existence of hospital and jobs of staff and his friends. His eyes are always sad and he always sacrifices everything to be 100% virtuous. It's not inspiring it's annoying. And in the real world it would end badly. In series, Deux ex Machina and everything is solved. Life doesn't work like that.
Dr Helen was at first presented as head strong, intelligent and practical, to be later downsized to complete screaming mess who is hysterical and suddenly doesn't know what she wants. She went from smart realist to annoying and hysterical. Then, there is that doctor who always wears obvious false eyelashes and full evening make up to work, which is distracting, at least to me. Forced relationships, always with some over the top complications. And misunderstandings, woke and leftist stuff pushed into our faces... I just can't watch it anymore.
