What to Know

Critics Consensus

Benefitting from a characteristically sharp performance by Zachary Quinto, Brilliant Minds is a medical procedural with brains but also a surprising amount of heart.

Kelly Lawler USA Today The result is sluggish and boring. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune The show has a real understanding of how episodes need to be paced, and they are filled with the right amount of character-building when it comes to each week’s patients. Rated: 3/4 Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Thus far, the show’s sweet spot is when the story starts in the head, but quickly moves to the heart. It’s fundamentally a tearjerker... Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Laura Nowak TV Fanatic Brilliant Minds has excelled at exploring living life on a patient’s terms when they need to adapt to new circumstances. Rated: 4.7/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof Perhaps the worst sin of this particular series is that its lack of charisma weighs down what, on the other hand, is intelligent, interesting, and at times notable. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media This show has a very familiar TV premise—the genius doctor with eccentricities who breaks all the rules to get results.

Alyson S This show just hits different. It forces you to think outside the box! I have enjoyed each episode! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Magnus A Imagine House MD without the characters, the script, the cast, the stories, the humour and you get close to Brilliant Minds. Only in this the brilliant driven rebellious doctor (who rides a motorbike) works for his mum. Clumsy and derivative. Watch old series of House MD - far better in every way. Oh and Quinto/Spock as the doctor has the acting chops of a chair. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Brandon H Love this show, best medical drama out there right now. Captivating, emotional, and raw. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Dawn S I love this show, Zachary Quinto and the entire cast. I haven't had a favorite TV series show since the old HBO days so I'm happy to have found this gem. Thought provoking on so many levels. Creative and makes one really care about the characters. Great show all around. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Liz C Zachary Quinto is amazing in this drama. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review deonna h I Love medical shows so when I came across brilliant minds I had to watch it! I love the cast and how they find what’s most important to the patient to be able to treat them. I look forward to more seasons. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
