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.

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 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.

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.
I, for one.... can not Believe the reviews I have read. It is totally unfathomable that people have such narrow minds. First off. It is a television show. Nothing more People! It is a refreshing insight to all that autistic children, adults face on a daily basis. It is thoughts of what is possible for ANYONE with any type of disability they may face to have a positive outlook for what they stand for and fight for at any given time in their life. Although, it is extreme... It is the possibility that something greater can happen in the life of someone with disabilities no matter how great or small. I find a learning experience in every episode I have watched and that is to learn more about autism from every aspect and have compassion enough to care ... as a human being. I would be very sad if this show doesn't continue and show it's full potential. I will be forever watching as long as it is aired!
