Love the show but it's too sad that Shaun is always heartbroken


Look let's face facts..this medical drama is designed to pull heartstrings...and we are all rooting for Dr. Shaun..but his unrequited love for his roommate Lea is like watching a puppy being kicked.
That's a compliment to Freddie Highmore's brilliant performance.

I only watch this show because of Freddie Highmore.

The Good Doctor started a few months after Bates Motel ended. It was/is my favorite show and I miss it so much! Freddie and Vera were awesome as Norma and Norman!

I was glad he was going to be on another show. I like it but I don't love it. Most of the characters I'm really not that crazy about. I wouldn't even bother watching it if Freddie wasn't in it but imo, his acting talents are being wasted. Although at times I see a hint of Norman coming out of Shawn (like when he gets real upset).
Still...I never miss a show because of "Norman!" 😁
