Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome, relocates from a quiet country life to join the surgical unit at the prestigious San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital -- a move strongly supported by his mentor, Dr. Aaron Glassman; having survived a troubled childhood, Shaun is alone in the world and unable to personally connect with those around him, but he finds his niche using his extraordinary medical skill and intuition to save lives and challenge the skepticism of his colleagues.

Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews Savant syndrome is almost always the expression of autism we see on screen. Rated: B Sep 26, 2022 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider Though autistic surgeon Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) has found love, he's still just one crisis away from a breakdown in TV's most inventive and wrenching medical drama.

letaiser man it really annoys me right now , this season could have been the best season out of all five I have seen but the end (cliffhanger) was absolute not for me ,the whole thriller /horror at the end which was kind of brutal just sees why this show really is not for under 16 years old , so if this was not there it would have been the best season ,the emotions, acting and the story all that was very good ,there were some issues on some episodes but overall it was a classic season of the good doctor ,what I really liked was that they tried something new ,I mean they already did in season 4 but this season was very bad ,in this season there were many new things on of them is Claire is coming back which was a big surprise and I liked her screen time ,then we had more interactions between the characters and Shawn and Lia tried to marry ,what they did at the end but then there was also this absolute bad cliffhanger that nobody needs ,even if we all probably want to know what is happening with Audrey now and we also good some crazy episodes on this one and some absolute boring ones so overall a good season almost the best but some things ruined it all Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Usually, I love the show. I am trying to figure out what Dr. Glassman did to Dr. Allen and Lea that made him a sexist. Was he overbearing, of course, but if 2 junior people come to someone with years of experience as the head of the hospital and a person tops in his / her field it is a normal reaction. He was preparing them, for the kinds of question he knows investors ask and giving advise. It is reasonable for him to assume that is why they came to him. Why is it sexist? It seems like the reaction on both sides was more a function of age and unclarified expectations than sex. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I have watched this show from the beginning. There have been some twist and unexpected depatchers and people that just get under my skin, but I Love this show. I hope it goes a long way a continues to thrive. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favourite tv series of all time. Maybe my absolute favourite. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This Season 5 stinks. What happened to character development? This show used to be good with decent character development but Season 5 sure has gone down the tubes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall an improvement over the uneven season 4. I feel like this particular season is understated. I truly loved it. And not to mention a shocking twist at the end that will leave you curious about the next season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
