Season 1 Review: Highmore plays his lead role to near-perfection amid all the considerable medical jargon and jockeying for position among his supposedly more enlightened colleagues. The Good Doctor engagingly drops Dr. Shaun in their midst as both a lamb and a lion with a muted roar. The story possibilities are readily apparent on a number of fronts in the best broadcast network medical drama since Hugh Laurie contrastingly bruised his way through House. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s emotion that moves the story forward. Highmore’s face and attitude. Schiff’s faith and moral weight. Thomas’ curiosity-generosity. That sets it apart from “House.” Read full review

Season 1 Review: Shore has established the boilerplate world, and thanks to his leads, it has potential to evolve. But this first episode leans hard into the sudsy pontificating; hopefully, it’s just opening-night jitters for a show featuring a person with a condition rarely showcased on TV outside of A Very Special Episode.

Season 1 Review: The Good Doctor is shameless in its emotional manipulation, going so far as to include a dead bunny at one point. We may want to resist having our heartstrings pulled, but regardless of how hokey the series is, get out your handkerchiefs and call me in the morning. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s a show that could develop into something interesting--and has enough beautiful people in scrubs to keep viewers engaged--but feels familiar in the premiere. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Whenever Mr. Highmore is on screen, “The Good Doctor” compels, but he’s surrounded by standard-issue medical show characters and plots. Read full review

Season 1 Review: For a show that wants us to respect Shaun’s intelligence, The Good Doctor lacks any respect for viewer intelligence. Read full review

Esta serie sobresale de entre todas las demás series de este tipo, el personaje de Freddie Highmore, el cual es un actorazo, demuestra que se puede representar a las minorías sin victimizarlas, quizás el Cirujano Shaun no representa a todas las personas con autismo, pero si representa a uno de ellos ya que cada persona que padece de autismo son muy diferentes, sin duda no es fácil interpretar a un personaje tan complejo.… Expand

This show blows, don't watch it , it's a waist of time, good people die. This reminds me of Shonda Rhimes and her warped way of thinking.
