The Good Doctor is an American medical-drama television series based on the 2013 award winning South Korean series of the same name. Daniel Dae Kim, the actor, first noticed the series and bought the rights for his production company. He began adapting the series and eventually shopped it to CBS, his home network in 2015. CBS decided against creating a pilot. Because Kim felt so strongly about the series, he bought back the rights from CBS. Eventually, Sony Pictures Television and Kim worked out a deal and brought on David Shore, creator of the Fox hit medical drama, House, to develop the series.[2]
The show is produced by Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios, in association with production companies Shore Z Productions, 3AD, and Entermedia. David Shore serves as showrunner and Daniel Dae Kim is an executive producer for the show.

Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Gonzalez, Beau Garrett, Hill Harper, Richard Schiff, and Tamlyn Tomita also star in the show. The series received a put pilot commitment at ABC after a previous attempted series did not move forward at CBS Television Studios in 2015; The Good Doctor was ordered to series in May 2017. On October 3, 2017, ABC picked up the series for a full season of 18 episodes. The series is primarily filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Good Doctor began airing on ABC on September 25, 2017. It has received mixed to positive reviews from critics, with particular praise given to Highmore's performance, and strong television ratings.

On the way to begin his surgical residency at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, Dr. Shaun Murphy witnesses an airport sign fall and shatter glass onto a young boy. Another doctor is first on the scene and begins applying pressure to the child's neck. Shaun tells him that he's pressing on the wrong part of the neck for a child. With his unique ability to visualize the internal body and using improvised methods and tools, Shaun is able to stabilize the boy. On the way to the hospital, Shaun notices that the boy's vitals have changed. Hospital staff are alerted to the arrival of the boy. Shaun tries to tell the doctors about the boy's vitals, stating that he needs an echo-cardiogram. The doctors disagree and begin surgery. While operating, something goes wrong and Claire Browne, a surgical resident, recalls Shaun mentioning an echo. Thanks to Shaun's diagnosis, the boy's life is saved. Meanwhile, in a hospital board meeting, Dr. Aaron Glassman, president of the hospital, tries to convince the board to hire Shaun, despite his autism. Flashbacks give us a picture of Shaun's childhood and his motivation for becoming a doctor.

Dr. Melendez is doing rounds with Dr. Browne and Dr. Kalu. Melendez calls out Shaun for arriving late on his first full day. A middle aged woman is brought into the ER with abdominal pain. Shaun immediately diagnoses a malignant tumor. Melendez assigns Browne as his number two for the surgery while giving Shaun "scut work" - all the work that residents hate doing. On the operating table, the doctors find the tumor is much bigger than expected and has encased all of her arteries. Looking at biopsy results, the residents find out that she is suffering from leiomyosarcoma, making surgery seemingly impossible. Shaun's ability to visualize the internal organs allows him to figure out that removing one of her kidneys would allow a better look, enough to view and possibly remove the mass. To Browne's dismay, Kalu suggests Shaun's idea to Melendez, getting the credit for the idea. Meanwhile, Shaun's attention to detail in his scut work gets him into trouble. Instead of releasing patients ready for discharge, Shaun rechecks them and orders additional tests. Upon learning this, Melendez assigns Nurse Freydey as Shaun's "boss" for the day. Later, after rechecking a discharged young girl's test results, Shaun races to her home. The parents are annoyed that he's bothering them after midnight and at first refuse to let him in. Shaun insists he will not leave before seeing their daughter. His diagnosis is correct and they must rush her to the hospital for surgery to save her life.

"Oliver" John Dahl Bill Rotko October 9, 2017 (2017-10-09) 10.69[22]
Shaun and Claire fly to San Francisco Municipal Hospital to get a patient a liver. They can't fly on their way back due to fog and are forced to use a police escort. Problems keep coming one after the other; first, the liver's temperature went above the required maximum, forcing them to have a sudden stop at a local store, where they cool it by submerging it in slush. As they proceed with their journey, Shaun discovers that the liver has a clot. With only two hours of viability left, the duo decide to perform an operation on the way in order to remove the clot and flash the left lobe, to protect it from the ice bath. Back at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, Chuck, the recipient of the liver, is discovered to have alcohol in his system; a likelihood that he might be moved to the bottom of the list. Chuck later confesses that he actually took a drink on his daughter's graduation. In order to protect its reputation and the future patients, the hospital decides to move Chuck to the bottom of the list. To their dismay, Shaun and Claire arrive back, only to find out that the liver has to be taken to another patient in another hospital.

Through an ultrasound, an expectant woman's baby is diagnosed with a tumor at his tail bone; the mom has Antiphospholipid syndrome, making surgery a high risk. Dr. Melendez suggests termination of the pregnancy but Shaun interjects by suggesting clotting pre-operatively with an infusion of unfractionated heparin. Things are further complicated when the woman and eventually her husband refuse to terminate the baby. During surgery, there is a complication; a blood clot at the artery in her heart. Dr. Kalu has an idea that they should stop her heart and put her on a bypass machine for the duration of the surgery; that way she won't have an heart attack, which turns out to be successful and the doctors reveal she's carrying a baby boy. With a patient needing a boil lanced, Dr. Melendez assigns Shaun and Dr. Browne on the case, as a punishment for being late. The patient turns out to be a pornographic actress; she doesn't have a boil but a large Bartholin gland abscess and they prep her for surgery the following day. They successfully drain the abscess but discover that she has a Perineal myoma underneath. The fibroid tumor is wrapped around the nerve that facilitates feeling in her genitals. Therefore, the doctors have to remove the tumor but they have to sever the nerve; hence, losing all feeling in her genitals. Shaun comes up the idea of grafting the distal end of the pudendal nerve to the branch of the femoral cutaneous nerve from her inner thigh; this will lead to her losing feeling in her thigh while preserving feeling in her genitals.

"Point Three Percent" Larry Teng David Hoselton October 23, 2017 (2017-10-23) 10.39[24]
Shaun notices a young boy with an indubitable resemblance to his deceased brother Steve, forming a bond with him. The boy's name is actually Evan and was brought to the hospital by his parents for reportedly breaking an arm; unbeknownst to Evan, he is in fact suffering from stage 4 Osteosarcoma. Shaun later suspects that he might have been misdiagnosed with cancer but indeed was suffering from Langerhans cell histiocytosis. In order not to give both Evan and his parents false hopes, Shaun decides to lie, attempting to perform a bone marrow aspiration, but he is caught red-handed by the parents. Subsequently, Evan starts coughing out blood, sending him to the OR. While on the operating table, Dr. Neil Menendez and Dr. Claire Browne discover that the cancer had metastasized, undoubtable proof that he is indeed suffering with terminal cancer. The other doctors are trying to find a prognosis of a 66-year old man, brought to the hospital by his estranged son, with an allergy causing him to have convulsions. Dr. Browne later finds out that the man is suffering from Echinococcus, a cyst form of tapeworms. Saddened by Evan's fate, which Evan has in fact known about the whole time, Shaun reads Evan the final few pages of To Kill a Mockingbird, a book of Steve's that he never finished reading before he died.

Shaun returns to the hospital and gives Aaron his two weeks notice. Glassman is seemingly reluctant to sign the papers to allow Shaun to resign from St. Bonaventure. Glassman finds out from Shaun that he is moving to Hershey, Pennsylvania because of Lea. He gives Murphy a recommendation, but will back off if he stays. Shaun decides to stay and returns the letter to Glassman, then meets with Lea for the last time and kisses her before she leaves for Hershey. Meanwhile, there are complications with Jenny, one of the twins that were separated. She is not getting enough blood flow to the brain and the surgical team put a stint in to help save her. The mother signs a waiver to have a heart transplant between the twins. In the surgical room, Katie shows signs of life. Shaun suggests they re-conjoin them at the thigh which would eliminate the need for anti-clotting meds and can go ahead with the heart transplant once Katie dies. While staying the night in the same room, Jenny decides to go ahead with the surgery. However, another complication arises when Jenny's already weakened heart begins overworking, which leads to Jenny's death on the operating table before the twins can be re-separated. Jessica looks into previous misconduct at the hospital in which white doctors were only warned not fired like Kalu was leading to allegations of racism and getting more donors for the hospital and they keep their jobs. During lunch with his lawyer, Kalu rejects the settlement offer because he wants his job back at St. Bonaventure. Kalu is seen getting suited up for a shift at the hospital, but Dr. Andrews didn't want him back as he felt using the racism card was setting them back. Finally, Jessica tells Melendez that she wants to break up because she feels like she is standing in his way of being a father.

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In May 2014, CBS Television Studios began development on an American remake of the hit South Korean medical drama Good Doctor with Daniel Dae Kim as producer. Kim explained the appeal of adapting the series as "something that can fit into a recognizable world, with a breadth of characters that can be explored in the long run".[34] The story of a pediatric surgeon with autism was to be set in Boston and projected to air in August 2015.[35][36] However, CBS did not pick up the project and it moved to Sony Pictures Television, with a put pilot commitment from ABC in October 2016. The series is developed by David Shore, who is executive producing alongside Kim, Sebastian Lee, and David Kim.[37] ABC officially ordered the series to pilot in January 2017.[38]
On May 11, 2017, ABC ordered the show to series as a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios,[39] and it was officially picked up for a full season of 18 episodes on October 3, 2017.[40]
Casting[edit]
On February 17, 2017, Antonia Thomas was cast as Dr. Claire Browne, a strong-willed and talented doctor who forms a special connection with Shaun.[6] A week later, Freddie Highmore was cast in the lead role as Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism; and Nicholas Gonzalez was cast as Dr. Neil Melendez, the boss of the surgical residents at the hospital.[4] The next month, Chuku Modu was cast as resident Dr. Jared Kalu (originally Dr. Jared Unger);[7] Hill Harper as head of surgery Dr. Marcus Andrews (originally Dr. Horace Andrews); Irene Keng as resident Dr. Elle McLean;[9] and Richard Schiff was cast as Dr. Aaron Glassman (originally Dr. Ira Glassman), the hospital president and Shaun's mentor.[11][39] Schiff was shortly followed by Beau Garrett as hospital board member Jessica Preston and a friend of Dr. Glassman.[8] In September 2017, Tamlyn Tomita was promoted to the principal cast as Allegra Aoki.[13]
Filming[edit]
The Surrey, British Columbia city hall serves as the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital in exterior shots.[41]
Production on the pilot took place from March 21 to April 6, 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia.[42][43] Filming for the rest of the season began on July 26, 2017, and is set to conclude on March 1, 2018.[44] Although The Good Doctor is set in San Jose, California, the real San Jose is rarely seen.[45] In one of those scenes, a helicopter supposedly bound for San Francisco was clearly headed in the wrong direction.[45]
Music[edit]
Dan Romer serves as the primary composer for the series.[46]
Release[edit]
Broadcast[edit]
The Good Doctor began airing on September 25, 2017, on ABC in the United States,[47] and on CTV in Canada.[48] Sky Living acquired the broadcast rights for the United Kingdom and Ireland.[49] Seven Network airs the series in Australia.[50] Wowow, the largest Japanese private satellite and pay-per-view television network in Japan acquired the rights to broadcast the series beginning in April 2018.[51]
Marketing[edit]
A full-length trailer was released for ABC's May 2017 Upfront presentation, which /Film's Ethan Anderton described the concept as feeling like "House meets Rain Man, that just might be enough to make it interesting". However, he questioned "how long can audiences be entranced by both the brilliance of [Highmore's] character's savant skills and the difficulties that come from his autism in the workplace."[52] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter felt the trailer was "both kinda progressive and really dated". He added, "Too much felt on-the-nose—especially Hill Harper as the main character's detractor and Richard Schiff as his noble defender", while also commentating that "On-the-nose/premise is how you have to trailer a show like this, and maybe spaced out over 43 minutes it won't grate."[53] Ben Travers and Steve Greene for IndieWire called it "a serious trailer for a serious subject. The first glimpse of Highmore's character hints that they're toeing the line between presenting a thoughtful depiction of his condition and using his perceptive abilities as a kind of secret weapon."[54] The trailer had been viewed over 25.4 million times after a week of its release, including over 22 million views on Facebook.[55]
The pilot was screened at ABC's PaleyFest event on September 9, 2017.[56]

Critical response[edit]
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 58% approval rating with an average rating of 5.49/10 based on 38 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "The Good Doctor's heavy-handed bedside manner undermines a solid lead performance, but under all the emotionally manipulative gimmickry, there's still plenty of room to improve."[70] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 53 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[71]
Giving his first impression of the series' pilot for TVLine, Matt Webb Mitovich stated, "The Good Doctor boasts great DNA... [and] has the potential to be a refreshingly thought-provoking hospital drama, based on the buttons pushed in the pilot alone." He enjoyed the "warm dynamic" of Schiff and Highmore, while describing Thomas' character as "our emotional 'in' to Shaun's distinct, distant world". He noted that "it takes a while to build up momentum", but concluded that "the very final scene packs quite a punch, as Dr. Murphy unwittingly puts a colleague on notice".[72]
The New York Times television critic, James Poniewozik, notes in his Critic's Notebook column, that for the most part the drama is a "hospital melodrama with whiz-bang medical science, a dash of intra-staff romance and shameless sentimentality." Discussing the main characters of Dr. Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff) and Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), however, Poniewozik writes that "Mr. Schiff is convincing in the role and Mr. Highmore is striking in his." [73]
Speaking of Freddie Highmore's Golden Globe nomination on Monday, December 11, 2017, for his role in The Good Doctor, Laura Bradley, writing for Vanity Fair says: "... Freddie Highmore received the awards recognition that has long and unjustly eluded him..." Bradley feels that Highmore's perfomance has been "the central key" to the show's enormous success and while the show had lukewarm reviews, most critics have praised Highmore's work. [74]

Plot[edit]
The Mikadono Group (帝野グループ, Mikadono Gurūpu) is a worldwide business company based in Japan and led by Kumagoro Mikadono. He names his son Shogo heir to his position in the company. However, after Kumagoro dies, his widow Kanoko becomes the new acting chairman as Shogo transfers to his father's alma mater Miryuin Private Academy. According to his father's will, Shogo will take over the company after he graduates provided that he finds a life partner before then. Fortunately, there is a large female population at Miryuin Academy to choose from. Life at the Academy will not be all smooth sailing, however. He is immediately popular because of his name and position as heir to Kumagoro's company and has caught the eye of several female students. To complicate matters further, although he was raised as an only child, Shogo apparently has a younger half-sister who was raised separately who also goes to the same school and intends to get closer to him without revealing her true identity. How will he act knowing that any girl he chooses to be his life partner may also be his sister?

However, things become complicated when he learns that his father, Kumagoro, had an illegitimate daughter who is watching over him as well as attending the same school. This leads to Shogo trying to find his sister. He has a scar on his forehead from an accident when he was kid that caused him to lose some of his memories. Eventually Shogo chooses Konoe to be his lover but she is revealed to be Kumagoro's illegitimate daughter. Eventually, it is revealed that he is not Kumagoro's biological son and thus they are not related.

She revealed later that she was Shogo's childhood friend and feels responsible for the accident which landed him in hospital. She has the same phone as the mysterious shadowy figure shown once calling Shogo. It is later revealed that she was also the one who sent him the cake, photo, and action figure on his birthday. She initially called him using the voice of Perin a character from "Transforming Warrior Granberion". She is in love with Shogo. This is underscored when she tells Shogo, "When we were kids, I wanted to be your sister. I figured we could be together forever that way." The phone she used was a prototype developed by her father with a rare voice changer feature. Eventually she becomes Shogo's lover but also reveals that she is Kumagoro's illegitimate daughter.

Miyabi revealed that she met Shogo at the hospital where he was recovering from his accident—whenever her father went in for treatments, she would play outside with him. When Shogo first attempted to speak to her upon meeting her in class, she refused to talk to him. After that, she overheard his conversation with Konoe and after seeing them almost kiss, demands that he kiss her. She reasons that after Shogo calls Konoe "just a classmate," it should be fine for him to kiss her as well. When she tells Shogo of their previous relationship together, she also confesses (with Konoe present) that she fell in love with Shogo as a child and along with Konoe was elated upon learning of his transfer to their school. She is competitive with Konoe about wanting to marry Shogo, to the point where they will argue about it in front of him. As the story progresses, she often interrupts romantic moments between Shogo and Konoe. At the end of the anime and in volume 4 of the novel, she is believed to be his sister.

Rinka reveals that school director Genda asked her to find Shogo's sister so that he would have leverage when working with the Mikadono Group. Rinka uses Sagara's phone to make her fake sister announcement to threaten the director.

The English language adaptation of the anime, released in North America received mixed reviews. Allen Moody from THEM anime reviews, gave the series one star out of five. He called the plot a simple mystery that isn't challenging, and pointed out multiple anime clichés such as the loss of important childhood memories.[12] Andy Hanley from UK Anime Network gave the first four episodes of the series a 2/10 rating citing lots of plot holes, and "wafer thin" characters. He goes on to say good things though about the character designs and animation as the only redeeming qualities.[13] Chris Beveridge from the Fandom Post gave the series a more positive review saying that there are likeable main characters, with each earning "their time in the sun".[14] Chris had previously given the first two episodes a C rating calling the animation "very cheap and stiff" in a lot of scenes, and Shogo's character "bland".[15] Active Anime also gave the series a good review, describing it as good for people who love romantic comedies with fan service. The review also points out that they left the anime ending on a "pretty good" spot in the story as the light novel series hadn't finished in Japan.[16] Jeff Chuang from Japanator called the series "above average" for its harem genre, but also said it isn't an anime for those who cannot handle the intense sex jokes.[17]
