What’s your diagnosis for first season of The Good Doctor TV show on ABC? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like The Good Doctor is cancelled or renewed for a second season. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated that their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all the season one episodes of The Good Doctor for us here.
An ABC medical drama, The Good Doctor stars Freddie Highmore, Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Gonzalez, Chuku Modu, Beau Garrett, Hill Harper, Tamlyn Tomita, and Richard Schiff. The show 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.

All I can say is WOW! 10 STARS all around. My nephew is Autistic…he is a technical genius. This show shadows an actor who is autistic and he does a fantastic job. Just because an individual is Autistic does not mean they are not smart…believe me, they are! Keep this show running it is awesome, realistic in so many ways and proves many points.
I really wanted to like “The Good Doctor” because I was devastated when “Bates Motel” ended. Hard as I tried I could not get into The Good Doctor. I’m not giving up on Freddie Highmore though, he just needs to gets into the right role.
I look forward to watching The Good Doctor every week. I love it!
I totally LOVE this show and watch faithfully every week…Freddie Highmore is excellent in this role!
There are very few shows that I watch in real time, I record all the programs for later viewing. The Good Doctor is an exception, I record it as I watch it. I then will watch it a second time and still hope it will go into re-runs, though that is no longer a common practice. I do all this because this is how much I truly enjoy this program. I sincerely hope that it will have as long a run as other medical dramas like ER, Grey’s Anatomy, House.
This is by far one of the best shows on TV! Love all the characters especially Freddie Highmore who does an incredible job as an actor of an autistic young man. Awesome show!!
I love this show!!!!!! I have an autistic nephew and we have great hope for him, he is so much like Murphey. Keep them coming!
Relieved to see the Good Doctor has a second season coming. Very wise. Many Smericans are asking for decent entertainment. This show brings it! Creative, thoughtful, worthwhile. Keep The Good Doctor!!
One of, if not the Best Show, on TV this year!
Please keep it going.
Loved Freddie Highmore – really played his role excellently. Looking forward to season 2.
What a refreshing show…. Not only does it have good story lines but it also tackles the daily challenges of someone with Autism where there is still so little social understanding and acceptance, well done to all involved in the show…. I hope it continues.

really enjoy show
I am tired of being disappointed when a show I like is not continued. Not just from ABC, I have seen shows that have not continued like “John Doe,” “Medical Investigation,” “No Ordinary Family,” & “Tomorrow People,” are such shows and hopefully The Good Doctor won’t be part of the list.
IT IS A GREAT SERIES…LOVE IT
KEEP IT UP
The best series We’ve seen in a long time. Please don’t cancel. We’ll be so disappointed
hope the show continues is one of the best is better than House, what an excellent performance
