The Good Doctor is the currently airing medicial procedural written and created by David Shore starring a main character who is a genuis doctor, trying to practice medicine in the face of his difficulty connecting with his patients. Sounds very similar to another show doesn't it?
In this critique of The Good Doctor, we've both watched the first few episodes of the show and we're here to compare them to the early episodes of House MD, to give anyone who's interested in checking out The Good Doctor our thoughts on where it differs from House, how it stands out from House and why we don't like it as much as House.
A big thanks to Kevin MacLeod for offering his song "Heartbreaking" as a royalty free piece of music to start the episode, as well as his entire library of incredibly diverse songs.
