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.
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.

Just as enjoyable as House M. D. by the same creator David Shore. I appreciate Freddie Highmore so much I'm glad he's been nominated! It's impressive how well Shaun handles everything I know I couldn't even being quirky I have bad anxiety, IBS, and I'm not as intelligent as a lot. Anyway The Good Doctor is an incredible well written and captivating series that is easy to love! I love all the cast and brilliance put in the medical aspects. I would appreciate it if more like my review.
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.

The Good Doctor is so amazing and inspiring! The show carries a beautiful positive message. Telling us no matter how hard life can be there's always something to be happy about. We need more TV shows like This Good Doctor.
I don't understand all the negativity from all the IMDb reviews. People may hate this show, but I love it!
Freddie Highmore brings an amazing performance, and the rest of the cast are great. I look forward to seeing what the show brings in the future!
