‘New Amsterdam’ Preview: Can Max Find a Job in London? (VIDEO)
Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) may have had to fire Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) — he really was a terrible receptionist — and can’t hire him, now that he has his license and can practice medicine in England, but he’ll find a job on New Amsterdam … right?
In the January 11 episode, “The Crossover,” Helen takes the reins at NHS Hampstead Hospital, while Max gets creative when it comes to helping a patient. But where exactly is that patient? Well, as the promo shows, Max is “ready to go back to work,” but there’s one problem: “No one will hire me.” So where will Max get medical supplies? Watch the promo below for that and Helen’s reaction.
Meanwhile, back in the U.S. at New Amsterdam, Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims) reaches a decision about Dr. Lyn Malvo (Frances Turner). Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine) and Dr. Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery) help their patients understand the underlying cause of their stress. Plus, Dr. Elizabeth Wilder (Sandra Mae Frank) — who’s leading the rebellion against new medical director Dr. Veronica Fuentes (Michelle Forbes) — employs more unconventional techniques.
Scroll down to see what’s going on at New Amsterdam in “The Crossover.”

I hate this storyline, especially since you know the duo in London will eventually be brought home and somehow get positions back at New Amsterdam. I'm not sure if the ratings will sink, but I urge the writers to end this ASAP and get back to what the show does best - a weekly drama involving medicine and ethical choices and not charicature villains like Michelle Forbes' completely unrealistic and deliberately hateable Dr. Fuentes. Enough already. Give me back my old New Amsterdam. This version is getting melodramatic, ridiculous and unbelievable and does not work.

I agree. The show seems to be loosing its footing with the London storyline. It’s seems so choppy and doesn’t flow like the older shows

The executive procedure indicated in a discussion post fall finale that the main purpose was to contrast health-care in the US (largely private) with the completely public healthcare system in England

From what I've read on several social media boards, the majority of fans hate what has happened to S4. Most are not fans of the London arc, they absolutely abhor the Flyn relationship and the show's writing/storylines are not crisp or interesting thus far this season. You need to end the Flyn relationship immediately and get Max and/or Max and Helen back to New Amsterdam PDQ (London is a huge, blundering mistake). This two-story crossover is abysmal, unnecessary, and just not working. And don't make Max look foolish as this (hopefully misleading) preview indicates.

We are reading vastly different social media outlets then. I see many that love what is happening this season and especially what Dr Wilder is bringing to New Amsterdam as well as seeing max and Helen as partners outside the influence of the hospital. I expect they will return in season 5 but for now they need focus on them

Dr. Wilder is boring to me. Hopefully Max and Helen will be back and Wilder can go. She's a placeholder. It's entertaining for now because we know she's a placeholder but once Max and Helen get back, i hope she goes.

I think this is a great story line for Max. This is an opportunity for him to bond and become closer to his daughter. Let Helen take the reigns for a while, let Max get his footing and find his place.

I think they have to bring Max back to New Amsterdam....Helen needs to stay in London!!! Max will not be able to make London go to America's medical industry. !! The two are not going to be happy.
Sorry!!
