New Amsterdam - really liking this so far...
Ok, at the risk of raising the ire of all Moonlight fanatics (and I'm proud to be considered one), there's a new show out there I'd recommend people check out: New Amsterdam. The pilot was ok, but the second episode for me added some depth and more of a connection with the lead - John Amsterdam. He has lived for 400 years, and though (like Mick) he's not very happy with this situation, he's had more time to come to terms with it and has forged some fascinating relationships and connections along the way. He does have a way out of this immortality and has not given up hope that he'll find that right person. He has a snarky sense of humor, not unlike Josef in some respects, and has a love of animals - specifically dogs, and keeps numbering them (he's on 36 right now). There are also some interesting crime cases to resolve, and we're learning more and more about his past in NYC as well as the loves and losses he's faced.
The third episode is on tomorrow night (Monday) and since we are in the middle of a horrendous Moonlight drought - try catching up with the first two episodes online and giving this show a chance. You might just find something to ease the pain of Moonlight's absence. ![]()

On a similar topic. I am liking Eliot Stone even better every episode! I hope you are catching that one too Kathy!
Brooke - I am just enjoying John Amsterdam in Mick's absence. Its platonic - my love is for Mick (but I can watch John) If you can lust after Mick with a perfectly good husband at home, I think I'm allowed a little secondary attraction!
