Synopsis
New Amsterdam (2008) is a fantasy crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau before Game of Thrones changed everything for him.
NYPD homicide detective John Amsterdam has worked the city longer than the city itself. In 1642, he stepped in front of a blade to save a Native girl during a massacre, and she healed him with an ancient spell: he won't age or die until he finds his true love. Four hundred years of wars, buried children, outlived lovers — and still the same face. His only confidant is Omar, a jazz club owner who's kept the secret for decades. When a doctor named Sara Dilane saves John from what looks like a heart attack, he suspects the wait might finally be ending.
Fox cancelled the show after eight episodes in 2008 — a fast death for something with this much premise. What aired is worth your time, especially Coster-Waldau finding the exact register between an immortal's bone-deep exhaustion and a detective's sharp instincts.
