The Good Doctor is...Good
I guess I am a bit late into the party but a couple days ago I discovered "The Good Doctor" from a YouTube Shorts mini clip and decided to give it a go since it seemed like a fun show.
Now, if you are anything like me and you haven't heard about the show, the quick gist is that it's a bit like Dr house.
But instead of a grumpy old genious hooked on Vicodin, we have a young autistic savant taking his baby steps in the surgical field
The series follows Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon from the small city of Casper, Wyoming, where he had a troubled past. He relocates to San Jose, California, to work at the prestigious San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. source
I finally found some free time today and managed to binge watch the first three episodes.
Unfortunately, I only found while writing this post that the American version I am watching is not the original, but instead it is based on a South Korean series of the same name. I have loved every Korean show I have seen so far so if I knew that firsthand I would have gone for the original.
Still, no complains as I have thoroughly enjoyed the show so far. If you loved Dr. House then chances are you will love this show as well. Something that makes sense as both shows share a bit of the same DNA
Eventually, Sony Pictures Television and Kim worked out a deal and brought on David Shore, creator of the Fox medical drama House, to develop the series. source
Big props to Alfred Thomas Highmore, leading actor. I am not much of an expert on autism but he seems to really nail the autistic role with all the body language, tics and mannerisms. Maybe he is autistic too? 😆
I just wish I had heard of the show a bit earlier! I am six seasons late so it's gonna take me a while till I catch up till the last season. A two year old and a new born means I don't time get to waste much of my life on Netflix 😞
So, tldr. Great show, at least from the little I have watched. If you like Dr House you will probably like this too!
I did the mistake and read some reviews and some say the show goes full down hill after about the third season... I guess I'll find out when I reach that point.
Gay
Yes
Funny thing is I hated House, buy Hugh Laurie is brilliant in comedies where he's great. This is the same kind of show, just didn't like it though I'm sure Highmore is a great actor. I'm glad you like it, enjoy!
You hated house? Blasphemy!
Too many years in the medical industry will do it to you!
I have seen the movie recommended a few times but did not think it would be worth it.
Since you said it's worth it, I'll be probably create a bit of time to see it
Like you, I will be late to the party and it will definitely take me a while to reach the final season.
I hope your babies are doing okay.?I'm sure you are doing a great job taking care of them.😍
All the best, sir
Doing mighty fine, thank you sir ❤️
Two of my friends told me about it. I still haven’t had a chance to watch. But I’ll try to fit it in.
Are they autistic like you? 😄
Nope. They are ass munchers like you….🤣😂
I love that series I have seen all the seasons, I dislike Dr. House hahaha for his attitude in this one is justified because he is autistic, there is another version called doctor miracles, it is also very good.
Sweeettttttt, I'll keep that site in mind too, thanks!
Not a bad show - gets a little woke after a few seasons.
God damnit
I haven't seen this movie yet but the way you describe it is very interesting and very artistic I will definitely find time to watch it in the next few days.
I haven't watched house one and this too.. seeems like interesting.. it is something hard to find in comedy genre these days.. surely gonna give it a watch it.
I also love to see korean dramas, movies, that's really great. Hope so it will also be nice.
stumbled upon it while sick with the rona looking to binge something. i think i watched 3 or 4 seasons. it is pretty good, it does drop a bit later, still didn't hate it.
Will have to check out last few seasons.
Its fine if you don't get too much time to spend on Netflix.... The only thing that's going to do is make the series feel longer than it is! And taking little bites are often more succulent than swallowing the whole pie hey!
I myself have stopped scrolling quite a few times whenever seeing the cover on my netflix but I've never really committed enough... Im diving into Game Of Thrones again now 😂
I have had this on my watchlist for a while, the American version. I had no idea it had an original korean version. I will opt for the korean I think, because as you said, I haven't yet been disappointed by any korean series so far!
It's a really popular show that I've not had the time to watch...
Maybe I'll read your review later on and see how it goes 😂😂😃
So how's Trump Junior and Mini Trump...
Dunno the gender but if it's a girl, I propose her to be named Trumpet ✨🔥
if you are strapped for time why not binge watch it at work? is that no longer a thing ? :)
i saw this serie before and i loved it, it is really easily digestible with some moments of humor and other of brightness, good one!
Interesting,
I saw some short spot about it and thought "gay". Maybe i give it a shoot!
Thanks, buddy :D
Definitely a great show. The first few seasons were awesome. The first season was very good. The last few seasons are going very slow. They are just dragging the story for the sake of running the show.
I'm going to start watching the Korean version of the series again.
I have watched this show, and I enjoyed it. I thought it was a believable application of special talents savants have. I have always wondered why a brain which is incapable of processing social bullshit is so great at other things.
Who knows, such a complex organ!!
