New TV Series - New Amsterdam

I have just watched the first episode of a new drama series called New Amsterdam and am left wondering whether or not if I like it. I will watch another episode for sure.

Basically John Amsterdam is the main character - It is set in New York and he is a detective. The twist is that he saved an indian girl in the 1500's and they thanked him by puting some sort of spell on him and he cannot die until he finds his true love. I found this to be Highlander with a CSI angle but using his aged knowledge of art and New York to help catch the bad guy.

What confused the hell out of me is that after chasing the bad guy he died for no reason and then came back to life. There was no explanation either so I was left thinking crickey this guy dies for no reason but has been alive for a few hundred years. I also had a laugh at the dead body in this episode. They go to the morgue and it is supposed to be a dead girl who has been stitched up after a post portem. Only problem is the stitches are so fake the poor girl looks like she has been put together by shoelaces! I am sure it is just a glitch which I suppose is expected in the first few episodes of a new series. I expect this to turn into quite a good series of Highlander!..er I a mean New Amsterdam.
