Week after week, New Amsterdam continues to pull on our heartstrings while still making us laugh. It is amazing to me that a medical drama can still have moments where you giggle because of some goofy thing one of the characters has done – usually Iggy, to be honest. I adore Iggy and his quirky psychologist ways, but also his vulnerable side because it makes him a better doctor.

Last episode. Max learned that hospitals drop patients who are dying off at other hospitals to save their mortality rates. He was not okay with that at all. Instead of taking it as the normal way things are done, he went and collected any patients who had been sent away from New Amsterdam and brought them back. After clearing out an abandoned floor of the hospital, Max turned it into a palliative care floor and then assigned every one of his doctors a patient they were to tend to personally. It was actually quite an eye-opening episode because there are so many people who don’t have family or loved ones to be there in the end so you have to wonder who would take care of them. Max is such an innovator, but I have a feeling that before the season is over. he is going to get the hospital into financial issues that may require some extreme fixing.

On tonight’s episode, “Sabbath,” Max races against the clock to rearrange the budget when faced with employees going unpaid, while Kapoor is presented with a device that’s the future of medicine. Meanwhile, Iggy goes against the norms to prove a diagnosis, and Bloom gets an unexpected visitor.

Find out if Max can fix the budget before it’s too late tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, The Resident, NCIS, For Life, Ellen’s Game of Games, Bless This Mess, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back, and Chopped.

There are people all over the Internet talking about how This Is Us is making them cry. Well, I would like to discuss how New Amsterdam is causing waterworks in my house. This season has been full of emotional moments, but none top the moments Max spends talking to his dead wife in his apartment. The scene from last week’s episode, where he was seen laying his head in her lap saying goodbye to her memory, was heart-wrenching. I am proud of Max for finally starting to let go, because it is the only way he is truly going to start to heal, but at the same time I am devastated for him and Luna – losing Georgia left a huge hole in their lives, and I just hope they can find their way out of it. Elsewhere. I am concerned about Iggy’s marriage because he went ahead and started the adoption process without his husband’s knowledge…which predictably blew up in his face last week when his husband found out about it before Iggy could tell him. Hopefully their love will be enough, but there is going to be some serious tension and trouble there for a while.

On tonight’s episode, “The Island,” when an inmate comes in with an entirely preventable illness, Max, Sharpe, and Iggy head directly to the source: Rikers Island. Meanwhile, Bloom struggles with her recovery, and Reynolds gets news that could change his life.

Find out if Bloom can fight her addiction through recovery from her surgery while the others fight for their lives at Rikers tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching NCIS, NCIS: New Orleans, The Voice, The Flash, The Resident, Arrow, mixed-ish, black-ish, Chopped, This Is Us, and Emergence.
