This show is terrible. I am only 2 episodes in, but the show is so unbelievable it is like an autistic person wrote it. What I mean by that is the characters do not interact with each other in a way that reflects how humans normally interact with each other and not just the character that actually is autistic in the show. The conversations all the characters have and decisions they make do not match what a real life version of them would do.. Let me give you some examples. In the first episode, the CEO of the hospital decides to higher the autistic doctor. Some of the other doctors are skeptical and push back. They don't really make any great points why he cant be a doctor other than suggesting he will be too socially retarded and it doesn't even really get that heated. After 1 failed attempt of convincing them that it was as good decision the CEO starts shouting out some high-road speech and says if the autistic guy doesn't work out he will resign from his position. Not only was it unnecessary for him to get that heated from such little push back no CEO would ever put their job on the line for something that silly. It was totally unnecessary. What I imagine would really happen is he would just assert his dominance saying it was his job to make the decision and he stands behind it.

One more example. Three Surgeons are talking with each other about a patient that is going to die in 3 months if they do not remove a tumor hiding behind the persons kidney. They decide they cannot get to it/see it and Going in blind would most certainly kill the patient. The good doctor comes up with an ingenious, yet obvious idea of removing the kidney so they can see the tumor and not go in blind. It is a little silly that they needed the Savant to come up with that idea, and the regular doctors could not come up on it on there own, everyone knows you can live with 1 kidney, but whatever. The absolutely unbelievable part is that after he mentions it, their mouths drop like it's a crazy idea to remove a perfectly healthy kidney, even though this women has no other options and will be dead in 3 months. This lasts through 2 scenes that the female doctor is like omg this is so crazy the idea of removing a healthy kidney... and the way they justify it is by making her seem non-objective because she promised the patient she would live when she shouldn't have. It is terrible writing. There is no twists. The viewer knows it is the obvious and logical choices 2 scenes before the female doctor can see it. You could argue they were developing her character, but unless they are developing her into being a dumbass it's no good.

The other thing that this show has going against it is that you have to compare the show to House... Super intelligent, damaged/handicap doctor makes diagnosis that no one else can see. The difference is that episodes of house had very clever dialogue and characters which makes very a great and smart show. The good doctor does none of this, while also making the viewer feel like they are the autistic one, because none of these social interactions make any damn sense. hmmm That would be an interesting concept, but clearly not what the director is going for.

This movie was really good, and a good tale. But it made me mad. at some parts it was just hard to believe. They really stitched good material together poorly. Especially the end where there's a pathetic fight and the dumb blonde doesn't even do anything really. Also if she really loved him she would go and see him there's nothing stopping her from going to the mansion and seeing him.

It just didn't make any sense and it left me with an empty feeling. I really wanted to like this movie but I couldn't.

The movie almost captured my emotions... Yea almost
