What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Good Doctor stars Freddie Highmore, Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Gonzalez, Chuku Modu, Beau Garrett, Hill Harper, Tamlyn Tomita, and Richard Schiff. The medical drama comes from from House creator David Shore and Lost vet Daniel Dae Kim and is based on a South Korean series of the same name.
The Good Doctor centers on Dr. Shaun Murphy (Highmore), a new surgical resident with autism and savant syndrome. His incredible memory and keen ability to perceive spatial relations inform Shaun’s gifted comprehension of his patients. Meanwhile, his autism can hinder his ability to communicate with others. With only the help of his advocate, Dr. Aaron Glassman (Schiff), Shaun must challenge the skepticism and prejudices of the hospital’s board and medical staff, in order to do his job and save lives.

Telly’s Take
Will The Good Doctor be cancelled or renewed for season two on ABC? It premiered with very healthy ratings, was picked up for a full season, and a thriving drama is just what the doctor ordered for the Alphabet Network. As long as the ratings don’t drop that much, my gut says it will easily score a renewal. For now, I will keep an eye on the Nielsens and will update this page with breaking developments, as well as any change in this show’s prognosis.

i realy enjoy this show, it is well acted and the script is well written. so i would do anything to get the second season back on air even if this means renewed
I am hoping for a session 2… This has become one of mine and my husband’s favorite shows.. We love it..
RENEW THE GOOD DOCTOR! It is the best show I have ever watched. I got my whole family hooked and we are all waiting for more Shaun and Lea moments.
This is a great show! I happen to have two friends with very high-functioning Autistic kids. It’s a great topic to address, especially for those who may feel an Austic person is not capable of holding such a highly skilled profession. It IS possible!!! I even put out a post on Facebook asking if anyone else had seen the show and if they liked it. It was unanimous: They ALL loved it. Please keep this show for Season 2 and beyond. It is a very positive and uplifting show. It acknowledges that a great variety of individuals, with mental differences… Read more »
I really enjoyed the first 10 episodes. Did new writers enter in episode 11? The storyline is so far fetched and is it me or does Claire appear in EVERY scene. It is ridiculous. Why do good shows always go this route? Isn’t the story supposed to be about Shaun and how he is a savant? Here is Claire coming to the rescue for everything. I think she works 24 hours at the hospital and yet never appears tired. Not sure I will even watch again.
This show is stimulating & cast is great. Storyline is novel & makes you think & use your mind. Entertaining and a learning experience for all. Just love it.
there had better be another season i dont like medical progams but this is awesome and i do hope lea and shaun gets together and i saw that kiss coming. who thought lea was trying to seduce shaun
we want more, please… the best show for me so far
THE GOOD DOCTOR IS A GREAT SHOW, PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL, PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW.
I love this show so much. Please renew the Good Doctor for 2nd Season.
I have watch the Korean version of it – not very exciting. This one here is great. Well documented and explained issues of Murphy. Would love to watch a season 2…
Please renew
I hope it is renewed for season 2
