Suddenly the Main character is no longer Shawn. There is no more the "Miracle solution" of him. Bad, really bad. I hope in the next season they do better. Also, stop giving way to much scene to characters that do not worth it, like Lim and Brown. It is boring, keeping giving them space. We're here because of Shawn

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.
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.
All actors are excellent, Freddie plays really well a difficult role and the series has a full 10 from me on this respect. If you watch it completely detached from the sad reality of US health system, kind of like a SciFi, parallel universe medical series, it's amazing. Each person in need, poor or wealthy is treated, hundreds of thousands of dollars surgeries are performed on anyone in need, sometimes against the will of the patients (including homeless people forced to have them), not even once not having insurance is a problem, and so on. Unfortunately, it has 0 from me on this respect.
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.
