Freema Agyeman Chats About Her Role In NBC's 'New Amsterdam'

Inspired by the oldest public hospital in America, "New Amsterdam" is a unique medical drama that follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin, the institution's newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. How can he help? Well, the doctors and staff have heard this before. Not taking "no" for an answer, Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital and return it to the glory that put it on the map.
