New Amsterdam

Last night I watched the second episode of the new FOX show New Amsterdam. Danish actor Nikolaj Coster Waldau plays John Amsterdam an approximately 400 year old Dutch soldier turned NY Police detective. If you can imagine an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent with supernatural elements you've pretty much got what an episode of New Amsterdam is like. I really wanted to like this show when I watched the pilot the other night but its just not working for me. The cop show elements and the supernatural storyline don't seem to gel together very well and at times it feels like they are two separate shows sharing the same time slot. I'm going to give it another chance and watch the third episode but Pushing Daisies already does the same thing much better.
