    Time To Say Goodbye

    This may come awfully sudden and a little ill-timed three episodes before the series finale, but I’m an avid advocate of instead of asking for fan service or endlessly complaint-dumping, to make conscious choices about what you want to keep consuming on television. And it’s now gotten to the point where I’m so unhappy with…

    Season 7 Commentary: 7×06 M.C.E.

    I’m glad that I liked this episode considerably better than the last few, although I wouldn’t give it more than a solid 6/10. Okay, maybe a 6.5/10 if you twisted my arm to set aside my misgivings about season 7 as a whole. Despite some good emotional intensity, not an episode that will go into…


  • Season 7 Commentary: 7×05 Who At Peace

    Season 7 Commentary: 7×05 Who At Peace

    Well, it’s clearly not me who is at peace with where they’re trying to go this season. Or rather the fact that they don’t seem to be going anywhere this season except along that road that leads to annoying and alienating as many fans as possible.

    Season 7 Commentary: 7×04 Date Night

    I think a picture can say more than a thousand words here.


  • Season 7 Commentary: 7×03 Critical Support

    Season 7 Commentary: 7×03 Critical Support

    This one felt like a run-of-the-mill episode with some good season arc story building but also questionable side plots that had me raise an eyebrow. In the grand scheme of things, I liked the episode as such, but with only ten episodes to wrap up the whole series, it seemed like potential was being wasted.


  • Season 7 Commentary: 7×02 Skin In The Game

    Season 7 Commentary: 7×02 Skin In The Game

    I’m not quite sure why Freddie Highmore said that season 7 was going to be “big”, because the first 20% of it that we’ve already seen hasn’t felt very big to me. This one was more on the mediocre side, although I will say that upon closer inspection, it had interesting nuances that you only…


  • Season 7 Commentary: 7×01 Baby, Baby, Baby

    Season 7 Commentary: 7×01 Baby, Baby, Baby

    This felt like a pretty solid episode with good pacing. Nothing that really stood out to me as good or bad – a lovely season opener with a personal patient story and the starting point for some of the threads that will unravel this season.

    No Green Light for The Good Lawyer

    This is old news by now, but there may still be people out there who have not yet heard the unfortunate news that ABC decided not to give the law-themed spin-off The Good Lawyer the go-ahead. This was announced back in November 2023 by several news outlets after ABC made it public.


  • Everyone Operates Differently

    A Critical Review of The Good Doctor Season 6 Having closed the book on an extra long season 6, let’s shine a light on what happened across the whole of the season and see what was notable and what might be worth highlighting in retrospect. Just to set expectations, I will focus mostly on what’s…

    Season 6 Wishlist Analysis

    Back in August last year before season 6 started, I made a wishlist what I’d like to see being covered in the next 22 episodes. Let’s take a look at what came about and what didn’t.

    The Average Doctor: Autistic but Less Stereotypical?

    by Andreas_from_Germany (crossposted to Reddit) Recently many autistic individuals have come forward on social media and criticized The Good Doctor for its depiction of autism being too stereotypical, demanding more diversity in the representation.

    The Muffin Face Gallery

    Throughout all of season 6, I’ve been doing this silly thing of compiling the best Shaun muffin face expressions for my episode recaps, and it’s time we had them all in once place.
