The Good Doctor, a show about a surgeon who is fighting his Hollywood Autism, complete with all the stereotypes, and trying to get through life and career at a hospital. Plays very hard into the “idiot savant” trope.
It seems like an ok show from the bit of season 1 I watched, but then I had an Autistic kid and learned I was Autistic myself and had a deep dive into Autism life… And yeah it does a pretty poor representation of it and I don’t think I would want to go back to that show by this point.
What show is this?
My daughter used to watch it. I think its The Good Doctor.
The American adaptation of The Good Doctor in particular, which ended recently. I know both those bits of knowledge largely against my will.
