I don&#8217;t watch the show regularly, so I haven&#8217;t seen the first two years.\u00a0 It was easy to watch, even though I missed all of those episodes.\u00a0 It&#8217;s basically like any hospital show you&#8217;ve seen before, such as Grey&#8217;s\u00a0 Anatomy, ER, Chicago Hope, Chicago Med, et al.\u00a0 From what I&#8217;ve read, they&#8217;re very accurate with the medical scenes.\u00a0 It&#8217;s mostly a soap opera with medical stories&#8230;a little bit like &#8220;General Hospital&#8221; used to be, before they brought in spies and mobsters.\u00a0 If you buy the foremost conceit of the show, which is that a high-functioning autistic person (Freddie Highmore, who plays Shaun) could become a surgeon, and you don&#8217;t think the main character is irritating, then you&#8217;ll probably enjoy the show.<\/p>\n<p>The show was developed by David Shore (&#8220;House&#8221; &#8211; another medical show), based upon a Korean series.\u00a0 The stories are very good, and the acting is fabulous. Sure, some of the things that happen might be a little clich\u00e9.\u00a0 For instance, every single medical show I&#8217;ve ever watched has a scene where some person is trapped under or beneath something, and they seem fine, but then the doctor discovers that if that thing holding them down is lifted, they&#8217;ll bleed out and die.\u00a0 That happened in the two-part finale of this season.\u00a0 The ending of the season, and that two-parter, was also pretty predictable.\u00a0 Another story, about a main character dying, did surprise me, though.<\/p>\n<p>In general, it&#8217;s very entertaining. Just don&#8217;t expect the stories to astound or shock you too much.\u00a0 It&#8217;s worth watching, especially if you like hospital dramas, and it has some great actors, and some very attractive people. It&#8217;s not the best show on TV, though. It&#8217;s a good ensemble show.\u00a0 Even though Highmore is the star, he has a large cast of talented actors to support him, including Hill Harper, Richard Schiff, Nicholas Gonzalez, Antonia Thomas, Christina Chang, Paige Spara, Fiona Gubelmann, Jasika Nicole and Will Yun Lee. They have some great guest-stars, too.<\/p>\n<p>The DVD only has two features: a gag reel, and some deleted scenes. That&#8217;s pretty disappointing. Perhaps we can blame the scarce features on the Coronavirus.\u00a0 The series wasn&#8217;t cut short for that, though. It has 20 episodes &#8211; 2 more than it had the first two seasons. It always ends in March. I was very grateful that they had great closed-captioning and that they had the &#8220;Play All Episodes&#8221; choice. Some DVD&#8217;s don&#8217;t do that, which I find annoying.\u00a0 I hope that next time, they can come up with some better extras for the DVD set.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<div><u><strong>THE <span class=\"il\">GOOD<\/span> <span class=\"il\">DOCTOR<\/span> SEASON 3<\/strong><\/u><u><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/u><\/div>\n<p><strong>SYNOPSIS<\/strong><br \/>\nDr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome, continues to use his extraordinary medical gifts at St. Bonaventure Hospital\u2019s surgical unit.
