      Critics Consensus

      The Good Doctor's heavy-handed bedside manner undermines a solid lead performance, but under all the emotionally manipulative gimmickry, there's still plenty of room to improve. Read critic reviews

      Audience Reviews for The Good Doctor: Season 1

      • Feb 07, 2023
        The whole concept is a ridiculous fantasy. Someone like the main character- if he is a medical genius- might work behind the scenes in a laboratory and maybe discover the cure for cancer, but he would never deal directly with patients. I know people and, in real life, a patient would never trust a physician who comes off as strangely as he does. It just wouldn't happen.
      • Feb 06, 2023
        Loved the first season. Just good stories.
      • Sep 26, 2022
        very great story, unique plots and great character development
      • Aug 19, 2022
        extremely stereotypical with little to no character development. a show about an autistic person should be at least relatable to actually autistic people.
      • Aug 12, 2022
        I was really enjoying this show until you killed off Neil...who I wanted to see hook up with Claire and started on all the covid19 crap. We use TV to escape!
      • Feb 23, 2022
        The show itself has a strong format - essentially copying the format of House M.D. in terms of having characters with personal stories that get caught up in their day jobs, having some moral issues explored within the episode arcs, have some ongoing backstories relating to interpersonal relationships between characters, etc. Really, they have just replaced House's character with that of a different character who is also "unusual" and goes against the system in some way. There are two issues with the show: 1) It tries to do what House does, just not as effectively. The characters are less likeable and humorous moments to break up the tense ones are much more infrequent. 2) The way it shoehorns in "woke" talking points. This gets more and more overt as seasons progress, to a point where it ruins the viewing experience. I have gone back to watching House. I would recommend others do the same.

        Best show ever I have re watched it also like 3 times I love the cast and drama and the growth in Shaun and also Browne and lim!

        Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shtt😂💯
      • Nov 29, 2021
        this show is stereotypical, predictable and tasteless. It was so hard to watch cause I could predict everything that would happen next. the only thing I liked was Dr. Shaun, he's the reason I kept trying to watch this show, I thought maybe it will get better but it didn't. One of the worst episodes, season 1 episode 9 just offended me. I am from Kenya in Africa and how they portrayed the mom was just disrespectful. For example in the scene where she was looking into the toilet saying there's so much water in US. Do you really think that Africa doesn't have water, and the sight of water alone amazes us so much that we stare into a toilet?? how ignorant of you. Do you also think I ride my elephant to school, have a pet lion and hunt for food everyday. And of course the mother had to have that deep stereotypical African mom accent. All in All I don't like the show, I only watched most of it cause of Shaun but otherwise it would be half a star not 1 and a half.
