I know I shouldn’t be surprised by this, but I’m always saddened when a show has a decent premise but can’t really think of what do to with it but to append “…and he fights crime.” This show starts with a pretty bizarre premise – Dutch settler of New Amsterdam (with the help of Native American magic) lives forever until he finds his true love – then mucks it up by appending that to a horrible cop procedural drama. There are moments that are decent on this show. I like the idea that the protagonist makes a little extra cash by making desks that he passes off as antiques (since they’re the same style as they were when he made them in a previous career as a carpenter) and the awkward scene with an ex-lover (now elderly and senile) had some promise, but the show never really exploits its premise. As it is, we get a painfully stupid murder case for him to solve, which really could have been solved by a non-immortal person. There’s some potential here, but I have very little faith these people are going to tease it out.
