‘Amsterdam’, just finished it’s first season on CBS(?) this spring. Unbox has it’s episodes up allready, in case your curious.

The over-arching plot line is about a 1600’s Dutch immigrant to the New York area, then known as new Amsterdam, being critically wounded protecting an indian female shaman, who
uses magic to heal him...in the process gives him the onerous gift of immortality, that can only end, by meeting his soul mate, and then he will be able to die.

Main setting: Present day New York, the main character, has lived many “lives” (ala Flint from Star Trek TOS) and is presently a NYPD detective, whose knowledge of NY history, and his past experiences, benefits his crime solving ability, as he deals with his children and acquaintances, from previous “lives”.

Correction: I think it was more likely a 1400s or 1500s immigrant. Early enough for there still to be a fair amount of indians in the state.

I really like Amsterdam also.

That and Moonlight (which was cancelled, but at least it ended on a positive note).

There aren’t enough paranormal shows on these days (at least for me).
