The Good Doctor

The Good Doctor is an American medical drama television series created by David Shore that originally aired on ABC from September 25, 2017, to May 21, 2024, spanning seven seasons and 126 episodes. Adapted from a 2013 South Korean series of the same name, it centers on Dr. Shaun Murphy, a resident surgeon with autism spectrum disorder and savant syndrome, played by Freddie Highmore, who joins the staff of the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital and employs his unique observational skills to solve complex medical cases amid interpersonal and professional obstacles.^[1]^[2]^[3] The series achieved significant commercial success, frequently ranking among ABC's top-rated programs and occasionally surpassing established hits like The Big Bang Theory in viewership during its debut season, with episodes drawing up to 6.8 million viewers in later years. It received an 8/10 rating on IMDb from over 125,000 users and garnered multiple award nominations, including a Golden Globe for Highmore's performance and Critics' Choice Television Award nods for Best Actor in a Drama Series.^[4]^[5]^[6] Despite its popularity, The Good Doctor faced criticism, particularly from individuals within the autism community, for its portrayal of autism as overly stereotypical and reliant on savant tropes, with detractors noting the absence of autistic consultants or writers and Highmore, a neurotypical actor, in the lead role, which some argued perpetuated reductive narratives rather than authentic representation. While proponents highlighted its role in increasing visibility for autistic professionals, outlets and autistic advocates described the depiction as isolating Shaun from broader autistic experiences and failing to reflect the spectrum's diversity, contributing to debates on media accuracy in neurodiversity portrayals.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Television

American adaptation (2017–2024)

The American adaptation of The Good Doctor is a medical drama television series developed by David Shore for ABC, loosely based on the 2013 South Korean series created by Park Jae-beom.^[2] It centers on Dr. Shaun Murphy, portrayed by Freddie Highmore as a surgical resident with autism spectrum disorder and savant syndrome, who relocates from a rural background to join the staff at the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, where his unconventional methods and social difficulties test hospital hierarchies and colleagues' perceptions.^[3] The series emphasizes procedural elements typical of medical dramas, including patient cases resolved through Shaun's exceptional visual-spatial skills and memory, alongside interpersonal conflicts involving senior surgeons like Dr. Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff), Dr. Marcus Andrews (Hill Harper), and Dr. Audrey Lim (Christina Chang).^[2] Recurring supporting roles feature actors such as Fiona Gubelmann as Dr. Morgan Reznick and Paige Spara as Shaun's neighbor Lea Dilallo, with the narrative arc progressing through Shaun's professional growth, romantic developments, and institutional changes at the hospital.^[10] Produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with ABC Studios (later ABC Signature), the series was executive produced by Shore, who drew from the original's premise while adapting it for American audiences with input from medical consultants to depict surgical procedures.^[11] It premiered on September 25, 2017, and aired for seven seasons, totaling 126 episodes, with the shortened final season concluding on May 21, 2024, after ABC renewed it in April 2023 despite declining viewership.^[2] Season lengths varied due to production factors, including a reduced fourth season impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which incorporated pandemic-related storylines such as hospital resource strains and vaccine debates.^[12] The show achieved commercial success, ranking as ABC's highest-rated new series of the 2017–2018 television season and maintaining top-30 Nielsen ratings for much of its run, bolstered by Highmore's Emmy-nominated performance.^[7] Audience scores on platforms like IMDb averaged 8/10 from over 125,000 ratings, reflecting broad appeal for its uplifting tone and focus on resilience.^[2] Critical reception was mixed, with praise for Highmore's nuanced portrayal of Shaun's literal thinking and emotional processing, but frequent critiques of the series' formulaic episode structure and reliance on sentimental resolutions.^[3] Regarding autism representation, the show has drawn substantial criticism from autistic individuals and advocates for depicting Shaun through a "savant superpower" lens that emphasizes extraordinary abilities over everyday challenges, potentially perpetuating stereotypes rather than providing authentic insight; for instance, Time magazine described it as a "hodgepodge of autistic stereotypes" that failed to evolve meaningfully over six seasons.^[7] Autistic reviewers, including those from Autism Speaks, noted efforts toward realism in traits like sensory sensitivities but highlighted inaccuracies, such as the rarity of savant syndrome among autistic people (estimated at under 10% in clinical data) and the absence of autistic writers on early seasons, which contributed to perceptions of outsider-driven narratives.^[9] These concerns align with broader debates in disability representation, where inspirational framing—often termed "inspiration porn" by critics—prioritizes non-disabled viewers' emotional uplift over precise causal depictions of neurodivergence, though the series' producers maintained it aimed to humanize autism based on consultations with affected families.^[7] Despite such backlash, primarily voiced in autism advocacy circles and select media outlets, the show's popularity endured, with no major alterations to its core approach across its run.^[13]

South Korean original (2013)

Good Doctor (Korean: 굿 닥터; RR: Gut Dakteo) is a South Korean medical drama television series that aired on KBS2 from August 5 to October 8, 2013, on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 KST for 20 episodes.^[14]^[15] The series was written by Park Jae-beom and directed by Ki Min-soo and Kim Jin-woo.^[15]^[14] It centers on Park Shi-on, a pediatric surgeon with autism spectrum disorder and savant syndrome, who possesses an extraordinary eidetic memory and surgical skills but struggles with social interactions equivalent to a child's level.^[15] Despite facing prejudice from colleagues and superiors at a university hospital's pediatric surgery department, Shi-on repeatedly demonstrates his talent by saving young patients in critical conditions, gradually earning respect and forming bonds, including a romantic interest with nurse Cha Yoon-seo.^[15]^[16] The lead role of Park Shi-on was portrayed by Joo Won, with Moon Chae-won as Cha Yoon-seo, Joo Sang-wook as the ambitious department chief Kim Do-han, and Kim Min-seo as the competitive surgeon Yoo Chae-kyung.^[17] Supporting cast included Chun Ho-jin as hospital director Choi Woo-seok and Uhm Ki-jun as cardiothoracic surgeon Han Jin-wook.^[14] Production was handled by Logos Film, emphasizing realistic medical scenarios alongside themes of overcoming disability-related discrimination through merit-based competence.^[18] Park Jae-beom's screenplay drew from real-world inspirations of savant abilities in medicine, focusing on causal efficacy of innate talents over conventional social norms.^[19] The series achieved strong viewership, consistently topping its Monday-Tuesday primetime slot on KBS2 and averaging ratings in the high teens to low twenties nationwide, reflecting broad public appeal for its blend of emotional depth, procedural drama, and advocacy for neurodiverse achievement.^[20] It received critical acclaim for Joo Won's nuanced performance, capturing the protagonist's literal-minded innocence and brilliance without exaggeration.^[19] At the 2013 KBS Drama Awards, Joo Won won Top Excellence in Acting for a mid-length drama, Moon Chae-won earned the Popularity Award for actresses, and the duo secured Best Onscreen Couple; Joo Sang-wook also took Excellence in Acting.^[20] Additionally, it won Best Serial Drama at the 2014 Banff World Media Festival's Rockie Awards, and Park Jae-beom received Best Writer at the Korea Drama Awards.^[21]^[19] The drama's success led to international remakes, underscoring its exportable narrative of empirical talent transcending institutional biases.^[22]

Literature

Damon Galgut novel (2003)

The Good Doctor is a novel by South African author Damon Galgut, first published in 2003 by Atlantic Books in the United Kingdom.^[32] It was subsequently published in the United States by Grove Press in 2004.^[33] The book was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2003 and won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best Book in the Africa region in 2004.^[34] ^[32] Set in a dilapidated rural hospital in post-apartheid South Africa, the narrative centers on Dr. Frank Eloff, a disillusioned physician serving out his mandatory term in a remote, understaffed facility once part of a Bantu homeland.^[35] The arrival of an idealistic young doctor, Laurence Waters, disrupts the stagnant routine, leading to an uneasy friendship marked by contrasting approaches to their roles amid bureaucratic neglect and societal transition.^[36] The hospital itself, sparsely populated by patients and overshadowed by corruption and decay, serves as a microcosm for broader failures in the new democratic era.^[37] Galgut explores themes of personal and national disillusionment, pitting unexamined idealism against pragmatic cynicism in a context of racial and political upheaval.^[38] The novel examines white South African identity, the persistence of apartheid's legacies, and the moral compromises inherent in survival, with stylistic echoes of Graham Greene's moral ambiguity.^[36] ^[38] It critiques the gap between post-apartheid promises and reality, including themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the inescapability of human fallibility.^[39] ^[40] Critics praised the novel's taut prose and psychological depth, with The New York Times calling it "a taut, mesmerizing novel" for its introspective narrative technique.^[41] Reviews highlighted its dissection of South African psyche amid "angry melancholy," though some found it accomplished yet unmemorable in its portrayal of dashed hopes.^[36] ^[42] Reader ratings average 3.7 out of 5 on Goodreads, reflecting appreciation for its sparse exploration of post-apartheid challenges.^[43]

The Good Doctor is a comedy play with music written by Neil Simon, adapted and suggested from short stories by Anton Chekhov.^[44] It comprises a series of standalone vignettes narrated by "The Writer," a framing character depicted as a blocked author drawing from Chekhov's tales to explore human follies, frailties, and ironies.^[45] The sketches blend humor with pathos, featuring scenarios such as a determined woman demanding her bank deposit from a flustered manager, a bumbling father attempting to educate his son on sexual matters, a boastful seducer rebuffed by a clever wife, and a destitute performer willing to stage his own drowning for a paltry fee.^[45] The play opened on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on November 27, 1973, directed by A. J. Antoon, and closed on May 26, 1974, after 208 performances.^[44] Produced by Emanuel Azenberg and Eugene V.

People and characters

Fictional characters

Dr. Shaun Murphy serves as the central protagonist in the American television series The Good Doctor (2017–2024), depicted as a young surgical resident with autism spectrum disorder and savant syndrome, enabling exceptional visual and memory skills in medicine despite social communication challenges.^[52] Shaun's backstory includes raising his younger brother after their abusive father's abandonment and their mother's neglect, leading to a residency at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital under Dr. Aaron Glassman's mentorship.^[53] His character arc explores professional triumphs, such as innovative surgeries using eidetic memory, alongside interpersonal struggles, including literal speech and difficulty interpreting emotions.^[54] Supporting characters include Dr. Aaron Glassman, the hospital president and Shaun's surrogate father figure, who battles brain cancer in season 1 and prioritizes ethical patient care.^[52] Dr. Marcus Andrews, initially skeptical of Shaun, evolves into the hospital's surgical head by season 3, emphasizing administrative competence.^[53] Dr. Audrey Lim, a trauma surgeon and later chief of surgery, provides pragmatic leadership and romantic tension with Shaun in later seasons.^[52] Dr. Claire Browne, a surgical resident focused on empathy-driven diagnostics, leaves for a fellowship in season 3 after personal growth.^[54] Dr. Neil Melendez, a skilled cardiothoracic surgeon, mentors the team until his death in a plane crash depicted in season 3.^[53] In the South Korean original series Good Doctor (2013), the analogous lead is Park Si-on, an autistic savant pediatric surgeon striving against institutional prejudice at a university hospital.^[17] Si-on's abilities stem from childhood trauma, including protecting his brother from abuse, mirroring Shaun's traits but adapted to Korean cultural contexts like familial duty and hierarchical medicine.^[15] Key supporting figures include Cha Yoon-seo, a compassionate fellow doctor forming a protective alliance with Si-on, and Kim Do-han, the ambitious department head who initially opposes but later supports him.^[17] The 2011 American thriller film The Good Doctor features Dr. Martin Blake, an ambitious but isolated resident who develops an obsessive, unethical attachment to patient Diane Nixon, a teenager with a kidney infection, leading to her isolation and eventual demise.^[24] Nurse Theresa acts as a moral counterpoint, questioning Blake's methods, while Dr. Waylans represents detached authority.^[55] Damon Galgut's 2003 novel The Good Doctor centers on Frank Eloff, a disaffected physician at a decaying rural South African hospital post-apartheid, whose inertia contrasts with ambitious newcomer Laurence Waters, exposing themes of stagnation and corruption.^[33] Secondary characters like administrator Ngema and Cuban expatriate doctors highlight institutional dysfunction.^[56] Neil Simon's 1973 play The Good Doctor, adapting Anton Chekhov stories, features a framing Writer character narrating vignettes with eccentric figures such as the gout-afflicted bank manager in "The Sneeze" and the tyrannical governess Julia, emphasizing human foibles through comedic sketches.^[57]

Real individuals and epithets

Isaac Asimov (1920–1992), the American biochemist, professor, and prolific science fiction author, was affectionately known among fans and in his own writings as "The Good Doctor" due to his academic credentials—including a Ph.D. in biochemistry—and numerous honorary doctorates, despite not being a practicing medical physician.^[58] He frequently signed correspondence and books as "Dr. A." and embraced the moniker in essays and introductions, reflecting his persona as an authoritative yet approachable explainer of science and futurism.^[59] Dr. Thomas Walker (1715–1794), an Anglo-American physician, politician, and explorer from Virginia, earned the epithet "The Good Doctor Walker" in historical accounts of Appalachian settlement for his medical services, leadership in expeditions, and role in opening the Cumberland Gap—a key passage through the Appalachian Mountains discovered during his 1750 expedition on behalf of the Loyal Land Company.^[60] Walker's contributions included treating settlers and Native Americans alike, fostering goodwill in frontier regions, and serving as a guardian to Thomas Jefferson, which underscored his reputation for integrity and benevolence in colonial records.^[61] The phrase "the good doctor" has occasionally appeared as an informal honorific for other physicians in local histories or obituaries, such as Robert Young (1942–2009), a Santa Barbara-based M.D. praised for his compassionate practice, though these uses lack the widespread recognition of Asimov's or Walker's associations.^[62] Such epithets generally connote ethical or effective medical practitioners but are not uniquely tied to "The Good Doctor" as a proper title outside these contexts.
