Le bon docteur

I know that medical/legal/tech TV shows/movies are strictly entertainment and require total suspense of disbelief but I liked the first season where Murphy is able to mentally synthesize a solution (using fairly good CGI) from a wide variety of disparate data.

But season after season, the show is less about Murphy and like so many shows has degenerated into a bad soap opera.

Season 4 is a total dismal failure. Suddenly, the show has taken a new turn. We're very liberal, politically and socially, but this season is a bridge too far.

I used to look forward to watching this show for light entertainment but now I'm getting annoyed so why should I continue watching? I'm predicting that this show will be cancelled after this season.

Can you imagine a SPECIAL episode with the Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) meeting this genious? Treating the patient together? It would be magic

Think about that! ;)

I am an intelligent high school student who is very socially awkward and introverted. My life goal is to become a doctor and work at a hospital, and save lives. I can relate to Shaun as a character, but I also love the subplots and story lines that the flashbacks reveal, and this was the first show ever to genuinely make me cry. I love this show, and would love to see it grow and develop, along with the characters and the plots.

It cannot be overstated how infuriating it is that all the surgeons, especially the attendings, have no speciality of focus whatsoever and can effortlessly perform any kind of surgery however they please. And there seems to be no separate departments governing them in that hospital, everybody just seems to be free styling . They all just fall under a general umbrella. I mean how can a surgeon have the ability to perform: OB GYN, cardio-thoracic, neuro, oncology, general, plastic, ortho, pediatric, trauma, neonatal, urology, etc.

Any doctor can take whatever case strolls in with no consult from or referal to a specialist

Please how does that make any sense.

I am loving this show, more than once it has made me cry! When one episode finishes I am already checking what the following week is going to be about. It is brilliant and Freddie as Dr Shaun Murphy is amazing. Initially I thought I would only care about Dr Shaun, but weirdly they have all kind of grown on me and I am interested in the back stories too.
