I loved the first season of the good doctor it was just too great, it was different from most of the medical series it was showing how doctors develop and how Saun is growing, with such an incredible acting from almost all of the cast. However the second season started to be a bit boring like any regular medical series where they just solve the medical case and very slow development and started to diverge away from Saun However in the last few episodes and with this great episode especially it started to go back on the right track where it concentrates on Saun and we start to enjoy the AMAZING talent of Freddie Highmore create this artwork of representing the emotions with such a great acting that it gets you teary eye, and he just shines with breakdowns and difficult situations. This episode in particular was brilliant with the flow of emotions in it by directing and the great messages discussed in this episode showing at the start people backing off whenever they feel threatened and at the end shows just how willing Dr. Saun to stay on his track no matter the threats which is not very smart but it shows determination and that he can't be shaken which is obviously some of the best qualities that should be attained by a Good Doctor

One of my favorite shows! This episode is so good and Shaun's final scene is so powerful and heartbreaking. I also love the friendship being developed by Shaun and Claire and the rest of the team. The whole cast is great, so many unique stories and superb acting.
Shows the best

The show bring it's A game here. Don't like Dr. Han there something about him that I don't like. No it's not because he took Murphy out of surgical team. That was a little reason because, but he showed here how he can showed why I don't like him. He black mailed the board to clear the doctor he works with. Even if it was benefits for the hospital but it shows he a horrible person. Great episode
Powerful emotion

Dr. Murphy is dealing with a real struggle here, he's a man with a purpose: helping others the best way possible. His condition probably isn't helping him to take things slowly because can't accept opposite thought on what he thinks is right. His fight with Dr. Han is not a sign of weakness, rather a sign of pure unwaving determination. If he can't fulfill his purpose, he feels unworthy of his duty as doctor. That's all what matters for him, who cares what others think.
Amazing

S2.E17 - I Am A Surgeon! [9.6/10]

(S2. E17) My Live Reaction / Review for The Good Doctor Season 2 Episode 17 ''Breakdown''. The previous episode was good and I gave it a rating of 9.6/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. Dr. Han needs to let Shaun be a surgeon and fast. I hope the final test results are good for Dr. Glassman. This guy has a giant tumor, I feel bad for him, and Melendez says that they cant do surgery or he will die, that's so sad. Where is Andrews, I havent seen him lately. Im so happy that Dr. Glassman got good test results. I hate Dr. Han, he is so arrogant, I just want Shaun to be a surgeon again, he was doing great. Overall this episode was good and I enjoyed it. My rating is 9.6/10.
Too many breakdowns

Tonight was the last time I will watch The Good Doctor. I was pulling for a show that shows growth. But Shawn's inability to grow clearly shows he is not a suitable doctor. And the writers seem to think his continual breakdowns make for good drama. It does NOT.
