Love medicine but don’t know much about it? Here’s a chance to dive into the life of St. Bonaventure Hospital in San Jose and its staff.
The Good Doctor, ABC
The series is about Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome. Shaun moves to the big city from a small town where he had an unhappy childhood.
What it’s about
Shaun’s unusual life, his search for his place in the world, his dream of becoming a surgeon and the road to it, an unusual love story, work and tricky relationships with colleagues – everything in this show is unusual! Many at the hospital doubt that Shaun can be trusted with patients, but he has a phenomenal memory and sees what others miss.
Shaun is played by Freddie Highmore – the boy from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Norman Bates in Bates Motel. The role earned him a Golden Globe nomination.
All in all, it’s interesting and educational in places.
