Tragedy struck at the end of Season 1, with a horrific accident just moments after the birth of Max and Georgia’s daughter. We know not everyone survived, and it’s been a hard wait to find out who made it and who didn’t.

The three most important women in Max’s life were in that ambulance, and this season, a devastated Max will have to pick up the pieces, because New Amsterdam needs him more than ever. Binge-watch both seasons.

Russell Hornsby plays the role of the veteran police detective and criminologist Lincoln Rhyme. His abilities pitch him against a notorious serial killer, The Bone Collector. After almost capturing the killer, Lincoln is left paralysed from the neck down and he’s forced to quit his police work.

Three years later Rookie cop Amelia Sachs (Arielle Kebbel) comes across a crime scene that resembles The Bone Collector’s work. She brings the case to Lincoln, dragging him out of retirement. Binge-watch it now.

Chozi is a docu-drama that tells real-life stories of people who went through tragic moments that changed their lives. Fiction characters enact these stories to make the show interactive and to give the viewers dramatic insight into what happened. Some heal by listening to other people’s stories while others heal by telling their own stories. Coming soon.
