What Happened to Helen on 'New Amsterdam'? (Pajiba)

It's network television premiere week, which means we'll be checking in on a number of uncool shows that some of us continue to steadfastly cling to because ...

[TV](https://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/) [Dustin Rowles](https://www.pajiba.com/staff/dustin-rowles-1.php) I hate that Tyler Labine has never gotten the fame he so deserves, but he is spectacular in New Amsterdam.

Max finds a way to accept the money without rehabilitating the corporation by opening the โ€œWholesome Sex Workers Clinic.โ€ The Wholesome exec is furious but powerless to stop it.

Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine), weekly the best reason to watch New Amsterdam, suggests that he search through different memories to find the answer.
