The Good Doctor - [ABC] - *Spoilers*

Nody

**Warning the trailer above contains multiple episode 1 spoilers**

Episode one is a must watch for anyone who liked House and similar shows; so far I'm greatly impressed and think it can go places.

I had been looking forward to this one and it has lived up to my expectations. It was excellent and i hope the standard continues.

The flashbacks to his childhood were heartbreaking and I liked the way they tried to convey the sensory difficulties that some people with Autism can have.

Kuva

House you say, SOLD!

Mr E

No rabbits were harmed in the making of this show.

Great pilot - hope it does well.

The Moleman

I really enjoyed the first episode.

A very interesting "patient of the week" conundrum and fantastic performances from Highmore and Schiff.

As the medical problem was resolved, I was left wondering just how life the premise could actually have. Then the last few minutes hit like a bus and I'm hooked. I hope Netflix have (or will) grab the rights to this one.

Agent Coulson

Freddie is great one of the best actors on tv at the moment.

I saw that the other day a few minutes after posting that I hoped it will be Netflix as one of their "originals", like Designated Survivor.

I don't think I've seen any show that airs first on a Sky channel come to Netflix. Do Sky buy rights that cover a airing show for years after it debuts?

Mr E

This just got a full season order from ABC. Happy.

Surgery on a transplanted Liver on the back of police car

So far fetched but so deadly.

It's starting on Sky Living on 27 October, 9PM. (Or 10PM on +1.)
I like the look of this too. It's actually a remake of a Korean series which only lasted one season there.

Mr E

I see The Good Doctor has knocked The Big Bang Theory off its ratings perch. Great stuff.

18.2m viewers.

This a really fun show.

Basq

^ It's basically House but with less biting humour from the lead.. but yeah, it's very solid!

Korean drama rarely do second series. They prefer to run one off drama series for 12-24 episodes, some family and melodrama shows are 50 episodes.

Agent Coulson

Another really good episode for the mid season finale and really impressed with the show as a whole.

Agent Coulson

Starsky and Hutch



Freddie Highmore really is an amazing actor.

Mr E

Renewed for Season 2.

gmisk

I am up to episode 14...still really liking it...but I have to say the new Dr reznik character is painful...a totally useless actress

Agent Coulson

A really good series with a good finale I'm glad it renewed and didn't end on that cliffhanger.

For me thought this show is all about is what an amazing actor Freddie Highmore is.

Agent Coulson

Lea will be returning for season 2 as a regular delight with that like Shawn I had a bit of a crush on her.

Agent Coulson

Season 2 trailer.

Agent Coulson

Stated back last night and ya Lea is back

Season 2 Starts Tuesday October 9th on Sky Witness

Is this worth watching

Yeah it was one of the highest rated network shows during it's first season. Try one episode and see what you think?

Having seen the first season I would definitely recommend it. It's not like House as such, but does sort of follow a different hospital case/story each week while advancing the main story at the same time. Can't wait myself to start season 2

gmisk

Just watched first episode of season 2, really solid and interesting as usual.

Agent Coulson

Really enjoying season 2 again Freddie is a complete standout again and the rest of the cast built around him are great.


Just saw that Richard Schiff's nurse/love interest on the show is real life wife.

2smiggy

ya agree, really enjoying season 2. One of the only shows I look forward to watching !!

Agent Coulson

I'm in love with Lea.

fritzelly

Brilliant show - can make me laugh and cry at the same scene, some great dialogue written for Freddie's character

fritzelly

Well that was some finale

Indeed - thought I was watching greys anatomy at some point … looking forward to S3 already. something about this show I like !

Agent Coulson

Between this and New Amsterdam they know how to bring out the tears.


A powerful transplant episode this week along with a funny stoner road trip.

JP Liz V1

Renewed

I've just finished series 2, watching the second half from Quarantine Pt. 2 on over the last three days. It is quite the roller coaster ride, getting a bit close to jumping the shark at some points. Some could say that it did jump, with e.g.

Glassman going on a wild goose chase to Portland then proposing to Debbie

. Or

the new Head of Surgery, who seems to be a Korean Spaghetti Western baddie in a white coat

. Shaun's hospital is clearly no ordinary workplace.

Agent Coulson

Awesome brilliantly happy sad Claire centric episode this week.

Agent Coulson

Aw man if a main character is going to leave a show that's how to do it

Such a great show.

Agent Coulson

Season 4 trailer returns November 2nd.

Agent Coulson

It's going for tears this season

fritzelly

Saw that the other day - looked like they are using the coronavirus as part of the storyline (well they were masked up the whole trailer)

Hi, what channel will this be on, is it Sky witness?

fritzelly

So its all Coronavirus - wished they had stayed away from it

Mr E

Came across as a bit preachy for the education of COVID-deniers and anti-maskers.

Hope this isn't the running theme for the season though.

whatever76

Anyone know when it starting on Sky Witness ?

Agent Coulson

Richard Schiff and his onscreen/real live wife Sheila Kelley tested positive for Covid 19.

fritzelly

Considering the last episode that is bizarre

Agent Coulson

Richard Schiff has been moved to hospital and is on oxygen and the drug Trump was given by his doctors.

His wife is still at home but still quiet ill.
