4.5/5
The time jumps effectively demonstrated how doctors went from mistaking the virus for the flu to being able to diagnose patients but not treat them... and later to continually discover new symptoms and new problems related to the disease. Go to Full Review

letaiser @RT88401244 12/20/2023 First of all I appreciate that they finally tried something new and different for a new season but it just wasn't very good how they made it and what kind of is bad that always the people (actors/characters) more and more are leaving the TV Show See more collin @RT38906052 06/30/2023 The season is simply terrible. The show took a hard turn. Before this season, the show was about showing interesting medical cases and developing characters. This season, the show is about all of the main online talking points of 2021 (covid, racism, LGBTQ discrimination, etc). I mean seriously— what were they thinking? See more 03/26/2022 The most racist and sexist garbage I have seen on TV beaten only by Star Trek Discovery. The blatant hate those behind this show have for straight white males is not even hidden. The constant bad mouthing of white men is appalling. See more Davide B @RT02491015 01/12/2022 The first 3 seasons were good, I really liked it, but season 4 took a wrong turn really fast. All of a sudden it's constantly preaching at you, it's all politics, race, gender, all in an incredibly forced and unnatural way. Some episodes turn into all-out lectures, you almost expect the actors to turn and stare right in the camera while wagging a finger. The first 3 seasons were just reasonably progressive which is fine by me. I can't believe such a brutal change See more 11/15/2021 This is a show about a doctor with autism dealing with people, patients, relationships, and showing his extraordinary skills right? Well, that was the main point of first 3 seasons. Now the show has thrown all of that away into the trashcan. This new season shows us how "men are always bad and privileged", "how white people are always wrong and condescending", "how women are always right", I'm not even a white person, neither do I leave in USA but this shit just grinds my gears. Like, an episode or 2 dedicated to these issues is fine. But The constant preaching, crying, whining about racism, sexism, LGBTQ related stuff.. This is not what the show is about..! I expected a lot more focus on actual story than this from David Shore who has produced masterpieces such as House. Good day and Goodbye, Good Doctor!! Edit: The episodes get better after episode 10. So episodes 3-10 are no bueno See more 11/07/2021 too much forced women empowerment, it's ok being a little and there should be a little but not fully focusing on it ignoring the base story, and you know it's bad when I'm commenting I never comment period, a very rare moment for me indeed, just horrible writing. just seems gaslighting at this point See more Read all reviews
