Interesting concept but totally unrealistic, more like a cartoon than real life. "We've done everything else, what can we come up with that's new and will sell the most soap?"...seems to be the motivation for most new TV shows, this one included. If they would have done it as a finance or science genius, that would have been more realistic, but a hospital setting is all wrong, as lives are at stake, not just money or inventions.

I like Freddie Highmore in it, and also his boss the president of the hospital, but the others don't have a clue how hospital personnel act. Where is the medical consultant for the program who should advise on these things? The staff is so slow, casual, unhurried, no sense of urgency even when transporting a donor liver. And the argumentative bantering constantly?.......not at all realistic and very soap opera-ish. Political infighting yes, but not constant petty bitching and complaining. Too busy for that in real life.

Too many problems for this show to last beyond a few episodes unless the Good Doctor suddenly transforms into SuperBatSpiderman Doctor. Then it would surely be a big success, American TV being what it is today.
