Review: Freddie Highmore's new ABC medical drama, #TheGoodDoctorhttps://t.co/xTDUqC0lp9pic.twitter.com/EhqK6kaGMI
— Variety (@Variety) September 25, 2017
Highlights:
- Star Freddie Highmore is great as Dr. Shaun Murphy but is bogged down by bad writing
- Hospital scenes feel like a poor man's "Grey's Anatomy" with interpersonal drama
- Flashbacks to Murphy's childhood are ridiculously melodramatic
- The show is either convoluted or maddenly simplistic
