... gives hope, tons of hope. I'd worked with teens in the autism spectrum and this made me cry. I wish all autistics had the Savant Syndrome as well, but that's that, wishes. It took me 3 years for one of my "babies"-patients for one of them to come to me, give me a hug and said I love you. His mom broke into tears and sure, did it as well. He saw me in a loooong line at the Miami airport, ran towards me loudly screaming MISS MARIANA MISS MARIANAAAA. It was so damn sweet. Hugged me, gave me a great kiss and yelled back to the mom that a bit embarrassed came running behind him.Without any spoilers, savant syndrome is not that cool but it's cool anyways. I'm blown out by ALL performances, particularly "Doctor Murphy's". That's what they do, that's how they behave and the biggest, that's how they "don't feel". They have to learn any social interaction but have the biggest heart. It's our task to find out how to reach and interact with them. And the eye contact thing so real. Excellent performance by all cast and the reality of, if you are a bit different, even your parents reject them. My teen's mom was amazing.

I love this show so much. It deals with autism and that's such a good thing. People with autism need to be represented and heard as well and Freddie Highmore does an amazing job portraying Shaun Murphy. The rest of the cast is fantastic as well, very believable and realistic. The characters are complex and deep and the show itself really captivating, intense and so interesting. I highly recommend this one.

It's a great way to teach us that people with some special issues can do anything that a "normal" person can do. Great writing, wonderful crew, and the leader actor is just amazing. For me it's an emotional and very touching show with the drama of a O.R. and the Hospital cases have. I hope it has more and more seasons. If you haven't watched it, you should give it a tried.

It is a really encouraging show on autism. Rather than treating them like untouchables, we should rather get to know them. I like it that they didn't copy the korean series like every scene like some other dramas. They changed a lot, and it still looks amazing. Awesome job :)
