Perhaps no character in "New Amsterdam" better encapsulates the entanglement of work and life than Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims). In Season 3 of "New Amsterdam," Floyd is focusing on his career in the wake of his breakup with Evie (Margot Bingham). Soon after, he meets Dr. Lyn Malvo (Frances Turner), and sparks fly immediately. If their being colleagues wasn't enough of a complication, it turns out that Lyn is in an open marriage with none other than Floyd's boss, Dr. Claude Baptiste (André Blake).
From the jump, fans had a problem with this unlikely arrangement, noting that it was antithetical to Floyd's more traditional nature. "Floyd was a stand up straight laced guy almost to a fault, he wouldn't get involved with a married woman, even if she was in an open marriage," commented u/mdp300 in the "New Amsterdam" subreddit. "And especially when her husband was his boss." Similarly, u/HerRoyalRedness chimed in, "Floyd is far too rigid in his morality to accept the parameters of a non-traditional relationship. Are they so bereft of plot lines for him that this is the best they can do???"
