New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 5 "Cavitation" Review


A journalist visits New Amsterdam to shadow Max and learns about the hospital. Bloom and Reynolds have a major disagreement after she makes a call against protocol and Kapoor deals with issues from his past.

This was a really great episode that had some very good moments to it and t was interesting to see how everything turned out. I really loved how this episode started and set things up by making it seem like this episode was going to end on a bad note which more or less it kind of did but not in the way I initially thought it would. Everything with the journalist was interesting with Max not telling him what story Max wanted him to tell but a verity of stories keep popping up that are not the stories Max wants to be told. Then the truth coming out that Max was the one who hired the journalist and not the head of the hospital was an interesting moment especially with Max saying it was because Max only trusted him to tell the truth Max wanted out there. Then everything around Bloom and her choosing to perform a surgery that was illegal for her to perform because it was such a precise procedure that one wrong move could kill someone was interesting with how it affected her relationship with Reynolds but also kind of weird because she didn't seem to get punished for her action because it turns out she didn't get it wrong. Then everything with Frome was interesting with him working with one of the shooting victims aunts and him slowly discovering that he shouldn't be focusing on the unconscious victim's mental health right now but the mental health of the aunt. Then the other victims bother was so well done and interesting with him being treated with a lot of hostility at first but then his whole story and what happened to his bother was probably my favorite moments in this episode. Then the moments with Kapoor in this episode were good to finally meet his son and see a small bit of the conflict between them that drew them apart. Then just overall this was a really good episode that was interesting to watch.
