The American media Variety has announced the obtaining of a full season for the new medical show, the Good Doctor. An announcement that does not surprise anyone given its excellent results. This is the second series on ABC to benefit from this status after Young Sheldon, the spin-off of Big Bang Theory.
Great audiences for this novelty which is in a range between 10 and 12 million for its beginning of the season. The most important index for US chains is high: 2.2 among 18-49 year olds.
The Young Doctor chronicles the daily life of autistic doctor Shaun Murphy, who joins a prestigious hospital. He will have to adapt to an environment that does not understand him. Despite immense abilities, he will have to fight to impose himself and for his true value to be recognized.
Although productions evolving in a medical register are legion, The Good Doctor manages to stand out thanks to the excellent interpretation of its main interpreter, Freddie Highmore, able to blend with a certain ease in a role that is not the simplest. After Bates Motel where he played the terrible Norman Bates (character from Psycho), the young actor does not hesitate to take risks by once again leaving his comfort zone.
The first two episodes deliver a plot well mastered by David Shore and his team.
The Good Doctor is a remake of a Korean drama.
