In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

New Amsterdam is about as subtle as a sledgehammer with its woke messaging. Identity themes and progressive causes dominate almost every episode, while traditional values and diversity of thought are largely put on life support.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

New Amsterdam often puts ideology ahead of organic storytelling, regularly highlighting character identity over medical realism. Forced diversity and hyper-competent characters frequently overshadow nuanced development. The show sometimes feels more committed to social commentary than compelling drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series frequently portrays tradition and authority, whether it’s the healthcare system, masculinity, or religion, as outdated or problematic. Male leads are softened, and traditional family roles are mostly subverted in favor of progressive norms, all while rarely treating the old values with much respect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are mostly absent or straw-manned, with dissenting voices quickly dismissed or caricatured as stuck in the past. The hospital becomes a microcosm for progressive talking points, where disagreements are more lecture than debate.
