New Amsterdam
“Live like there's always tomorrow.”
Creator
Allan Loeb
New York homicide detective John Amsterdam carries a secret: made immortal in 1642 after saving a Native American girl, he cannot die until he finds his one true love. 'New Amsterdam' is a 2008 Fox drama starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, years before 'Game of Thrones', as the 400-year-old detective whose centuries of accumulated skills and losses inform every case, with flashbacks tracing the city's history through his many lives. Zuleikha Robinson plays the doctor whose appearance sets his heart literally racing. The series lasted a single eight-episode season but retains a cult following for its melancholy premise.

Soldier's Heart
A homeless Gulf War veteran confesses to the grisly murder of a controversial psychiatrist, but Amsterdam is skeptical. While reviewing the psychiatrist's soon-to-be published book, Amsterdam contemplates the reliability of memories and the reasons people bury them.

Though he's certain the sparks he feels are real, he encounters the unexpected.

John Amsterdam is called in to investigate the rape of an Indian supermodel, Amartya Vikram, who is reluctant to testify against her attacker.

Love Hurts
Eva investigates the case of a woman who apparently drowned, alongside John who is recovering from a gunshot wound. The death is apparently related to robberies of wealthy men linked to a dating service. In the meanwhile, John looks back at his life in the 1920s, when he committed fraud and stole an expensive diamond pendant from his lover. Also, John wants to be sure if Sara is his true love, who can convert him to a mortal. But John is unwilling to hurt her feelings by keeping secrets about his past to himself, and as a result, decides to back away from the growing relationship between the two.
