Waar je wel nog op kunt inhaken is New Amsterdam. Oorspronkelijk zou deze serie in september beginnen, maar FOX heeft 'm verzet naar.. vanavond! Vanaf morgen dus te downloaden. Geen idee of het wat is (want nog niks van gezien), maar ik ben er wel nieuwsgierig naar:
In 1642, JOHN AMSTERDAM (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), then a Dutch solider
in the colony of New Amsterdam later to become New York City --
stepped in front of a sword to save the life of a Native American girl
during a massacre of her indigenous tribe. The girl in turn rescued
Amsterdam, weaving an ancient spell that conferred immortality upon
him. Amsterdam will not age, she told him, until he finds his one true
love. Only then will he become whole and ready for mortality.
Amsterdam has found this to be a mixed blessing. Over the course of three centuries, he's experienced endless adventure and honed his many talents. But everyone Amsterdam meets must leave him in time; friends, lovers and children grow old and eventually die, while he remains young. The exhilaration of eternal life has given way to emotional isolation and loneliness; the blessing has become a curse. His sole confidant and current lifelong friend is the sage jazz club owner OMAR (Stephen Henderson), the keeper of Amsterdam's secret, as well as a few of his own.

Het thema van iemand die eeuwig leeft en iedereen om zich heen langzaam verliest is natuurlijk eeuwenoud (yes, pun intended), dus ik ben benieuwd wat hier de insteek gaat zijn.
