What's the deal with the New Amsterdam guy?

It was on my TV and I watched it with one eye so I couldn’t follow the mythology, if you will. And the storytelling moved around in time a lot. Very hard to follow if you are washing clothes and dishes at the same time.

The main character was born in New Amsterdam in the 1600s and was cursed a few times? An indian tells him he must find twu wuv so that he could age and die? Then he either gets shot or has a heart attack in the subway?

Please, if anyone else paid attention, could you explain it to me?

He saved the Indian woman’s life, but was mortally wounded while doing so. In return, she made him immortal until the day he meets his True Love, after which he will age normally.

As an aside, he appears to live in a New York where pawnbrokers give full value for jewelry. Talk about supernatural!

Ah, thanks. What was the shooting/heart attack in the subway that seemed to have triggered the Wayback Machine? And who were the women he was stalking? Potential true loves?
He also appears to live in a New York where nobody ever heard about Chumley’s before. There’s at least 100 Dopers who do.

P.S. No, you can’t fit over 100 Dopers in Chumley’s, in case you were wondering.

This show would have been a lot better if they just made him an immortal detective rather than an immortal detective pining for his sweetheart.

His One True Love was somewhere nearby, causing his heart to burst. Yeah, corny.

He was trying to see if he could tell who his One True Love was by looking at the security video. There is only one. And she’s out there somewhere. Of course, as soon as he finds her, the series is over.

It turns out he’s Keyser Söze.
