Script review - "The Good Doctor" pilot
Superb pilot. High concept and compelling lead (autistic doctor), the struggles done with sensitivity, there's flashbacks which are really moving (drunk father kills bunny, brother dies), a good medical mystery/emergency. I wasn't wild about the super heroic sexy brilliant surgeon Menendez - he felt overly familiar. Maybe if that character had been female. There is a female doctor whose main role is to translate talk to the autistic doctor. Some good "board members of the hospital character" esp the dude who owes a debt to the good doctor.
