New Amsterdam: How Can I Help? (2023)
Season 5, Episode 13
6/10
A satisfying ending??
23 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
New Amsterdam manages to do something, that not many shows have managed in the past - and that is to have both a satisfying and unsatisfying at the same time.

This episode really felt like there was an episode in between that was missing, Max's final storyline in particular is so out of the blue, the last we seen of him before the final, is him and Wilder taking a step forward in their relationship, only for the next episode to see Max off the Geneve and the relationship seemingly over without explanation.

The whole episode felt extremely rushed, which is a shame as there weee definitely storylines in other episodes that could have been cut to fill in the final storylines.

I did adore the ending that saw Luna as medical director of New Amsterdam and the wonderful way that was weaved into the final episode - this was by far my favorite part and moved this ending from unsatisfying to maybe satisfying.

Overall the whole season just felt like the writers didn't know where to take the story - which left us with a final that while gave a satisfying ending to each character, we never really understood how they got there and left me feeling like something was missing.
