"Feels like a more tender, earnest version of House."

—

Vanity Fair

"While there may be different ways to be good and to express caring, The Good Doctor suggests, it is something worth aspiring to -- an idea that may especially appeal to viewers who have experienced health care as scary, impersonal and alienating."

—

The New York Times

"Sensitively portrayed by Bates Motel star Freddie Highmore, the character is extraordinarily gifted but often underestimated by those around him."

—

Daily Telegraph

"Murphy's more rigid way of understanding the world drives much of what makes The Good Doctor stand out."

—

Vox

"Shore has established the boilerplate world, and thanks to his leads, it has potential to evolve."

—

A.V. Club

"In the hands of [David] Shore, and with actors of the calibre of Richard Schiff, it somehow works."

—

The Australian

"It's a show that could develop into something interesting-and has enough beautiful people in scrubs to keep viewers engaged-but feels familiar in the premiere."

—

RogerEbert.com

"There have been few storylines that stand out beyond the typical medical drama; this one's just done well enough to make you buy in, thanks especially to Freddie Highmore's committed, layered turn."
