Brilliant Minds

So far it is really fascinating I am truly engaged with the first episode. I love how the characters really care for the patients and go above and beyond for them this show can go very well if it's written correctly and connects the dots very efficiently. I want this show to go for many seasons I can't wait to see the next episode I really hope that we get a deeper back story on the supporting characters and on the main character. I know that the medical field is very difficult and I applaud those great heroes for what they do everyday I hope that many hospitals, clinics, pharmaceuticals, etc, Recognize and reward their staff for their hard work. Again I love this first episode and I hope it gets many seasons.

I just now realised after watching Awakenings for the first time, that the show is based heavily on real life doctor Oliver Wolf Stacks and some of the medical cases are based of real medical cases that doctor Sacks wrote about just like the amazing case that Awakenings is based on.

I went and searched the Internet and read about him and it gave me a whole now perspective on the show.

The biggest difference is that the show takes place today rather than in dr Sacks lifetime and in my opinion it would have been more interesting to keep the story in the 70s and 80s. Nevertheless the show worth watching.

This show is super entertaining and keeps me hooked. It's got that feel-good vibe with just the right touch of psychology, which I love. The characters are really engaging, and the stories strike a nice balance between being light and meaningful, so it's easy to keep watching without feeling overwhelmed. If you're into shows that explore human behavior in a relatable way without getting too dark, this is definitely one to check out. And seriously, can we stop comparing it to House? It's doing its own thing and doesn't need that comparison. Definitely worth a watch! Hopefully NBC doesn't cancel it and gives it a chance.

Love that this show focuses on making a persons weakness their strength. Showing that what makes them different might be what gives them power. I look forward to the potential story lines and characters with this cast. It's refreshing to see a new idea when there are so many medical shows today. The fact that this show has decided to take risks and talk about subject matter that is potentially taboo is refreshing. I wish more shows would spend as much time developing the characters as the show put into the pilot. You truly understand where this is coming from and it is so important to him to fix the patient and not the diagnosis.

The first episode kept me so interested!!! A lot of doctors truly don't see the person they sometimes see a helpless person with an illness to the brain. I love that this serious digs deep into who they are not what they're become. My uncle had a stroke the doctors were saying he won't understand speech, won't walk or talk. Truly discouraging it's been 3 months and he understands language, is trying to speak and stand. All n all it proves doctors aren't god they don't know everything. I really like how this series portrays this message. To not give up because of the patients condition. All n all I'm excited for this series. I hope we get a season 2.
