    It's here. Covid has come to the Dam. And New Amsterdam tackles the historic pandemic in the only way they know how: by having a commercial jet crash into the river right outside the hospital.

notrobertfrost ,

Am I being tricked into watching New Amsterdam????

Probably absolutely yes. But Polly and Emily’s smart and hysterical skewering of this questionable content kinda makes you want to consume the content, because you cannot believe something this ridiculous is on NBC. (No need to actually watch the show to laugh along though, to be clear.) So enjoyable!!
