Earlier this month, Redditor u/Affectionate asked fans how they felt about "New Amsterdam" Season 4, as they weren't feeling it as much as previous seasons. The original poster felt that the show's "energy" was "off" and that the storylines lacked purpose. While some of the feedback indicated that viewers are still enjoying the series, many commenters agreed with u/Affectionate.
For u/MrGuilt, Season 4 of "New Amsterdam" lacks a dramatic overarching storyline. "In previous seasons, there was at least one thread that amounted to 'major problem with society that causes health issues that Max tries to fix but learns just how it can't be done by one individual (or institution),'" they wrote. "There has not been as much this season."
u/Rripurnia agreed, stating, "The show is now focusing on the romantic relationship drama and the medical aspect is just lazy and half-a**ed."
That being said, some viewers have enjoyed the early episodes of "New Amsterdam" Season 4. "I think the storytelling has been consistent with the theme of the season," noted u/Adebisola, before encouraging the season's critics to give the season more time to pan out.
