Overview
David Shore created this ABC drama to bring a fresh perspective to the medical genre, focusing on Dr. Shaun Murphy, a surgical resident with autism and savant syndrome. Freddie Highmore leads the cast as the brilliant but socially isolated doctor who moves from a quiet rural life to the high-stakes environment of San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. The series ran for seven seasons between September 2017 and May 2024, delivering 126 episodes of intense medical storytelling. Alongside Highmore, the show features strong performances from Fiona Gubelmann, Will Yun Lee, and Christina Chang as his colleagues navigating complex ethical dilemmas and personal conflicts. While the premise draws from a Korean original, this American adaptation carved out its own identity by balancing life-saving procedures with deep character studies. Audiences responded well to the portrayal of neurodiversity in medicine, giving the show a solid rating that reflected its steady viewership throughout its run.
