Brilliant Minds

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.

It's been a while since there's been a "rogue genius doctor" series on network, so it's about time.

Firstly, I think it's awesome they let Quinton's character be openly homosexual. Not sure how it's relivant to the story but we shall see.

The show itself is basically "House" just with a more focused specialty of neurology, face blindness instead of a limp, and not so much of a drug problem (so far).

You still have the strict Chief of Medicine, except this one is his mother instead of his "will they/wont they" romantic interest.

The thing I can do without are the SUPER CHEESY big speeches. They feel so absolutely fake and corny, and don't really further the plot. If the writers feel the need to include them, maybe write them into a small, one-on-one conversation instead of a big public speech.

I love the weird conditions the writers introduce us to, and the medical nerds out there will most certainly be blowing up Wikipedia (I did for Capgras Syndrome!) I think over time the show may truly find its feet and hopefully live to exist at least a few seasons, after all, NBC did renew the trash it brought us in 2023...

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 remember seeing a TV Line post on watch it or skip it and it said that Brilliant Minds was nothing new in terms of medical dramas. I wholeheartedly disagree.

First: We have an interesting lead character who cares about patients. His team was not the most fleshed out in the first few episodes. But they're getting there and I really want to know everything about all of them.

The neurosurgeon is adorable, Dr. Wolf's best friend has a lot going on in her own life, and his conflict with his mom is also really interesting.

This is actually a refreshing medical drama because it manages to balance characters and their arcs and stories, and keep the case in each episode interesting, and unique. The solutions and ways they help patients is also really refreshing, without domineering, or acting like they know what's better for the patient. Its about internal conflicts, and external conflicts.

I do wish they would do something about the lighting in the show. But other than that, the characters are 3d and compelling, the cases are unique, and different from previous medical dramas as are the way they're treated. So if you love good characters and diversity, and LGBT stories, this is the show you want to be watching.
