Marketing[edit]

A full-length trailer was released for ABC's May 2017 Upfront presentation, which /Film's Ethan Anderton described the concept as feeling like 'House meets Rain Man, that just might be enough to make it interesting'. However, he questioned 'how long can audiences be entranced by both the brilliance of [Highmore's] character's savant skills and the difficulties that come from his autism in the workplace.'^[92] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter felt the trailer was 'both kinda progressive and really dated'. He added, 'Too much felt on-the-nose—especially Hill Harper as the main character's detractor and Richard Schiff as his noble defender', while also commentating that 'On-the-nose/premise is how you have to trailer a show like this, and maybe spaced out over 43 minutes it won't grate.'^[93] Ben Travers and Steve Greene for IndieWire called it 'a serious trailer for a serious subject. The first glimpse of Highmore's character hints that they're toeing the line between presenting a thoughtful depiction of his condition and using his perceptive abilities as a kind of secret weapon.'^[94] The trailer had been viewed over 25.4 million times after a week of its release, including over 22 million views on Facebook.^[95]

Critical response[edit]

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 60% approval rating with an average rating of 5.62/10 based on 40 reviews on the first season. The website's consensus reads, 'The Good Doctor's heavy-handed bedside manner undermines a solid lead performance, but under all the emotionally manipulative gimmickry, there's still plenty of room to improve.'^[139]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 53 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.^[140]

Giving his first impression of the series' pilot for TVLine, Matt Webb Mitovich stated, 'The Good Doctor boasts great DNA.. [and] has the potential to be a refreshingly thought-provoking hospital drama, based on the buttons pushed in the pilot alone.' He enjoyed the 'warm dynamic' of Schiff and Highmore, while describing Thomas' character as 'our emotional 'in' to Shaun's distinct, distant world'. He noted that 'it takes a while to build up momentum', but concluded that 'the very final scene packs quite a punch, as Dr. Murphy unwittingly puts a colleague on notice'.^[141]

The New York Times television critic James Poniewozik notes in his Critic's Notebook column that, for the most part, the drama is a 'hospital melodrama with whiz-bang medical science, a dash of intra-staff romance and shameless sentimentality.' Discussing the main characters of Dr. Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff) and Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), however, Poniewozik writes that 'Mr. Schiff is convincing in the role and Mr. Highmore is striking in his.' ^[142]

Speaking of Freddie Highmore's Golden Globe nomination on Monday, December 11, 2017, for his role in The Good Doctor, Laura Bradley, writing for Vanity Fair says: '.. Freddie Highmore received the awards recognition that has long and unjustly eluded him..' Bradley feels that Highmore's performance has been 'the central key' to the show's enormous success and while the show had lukewarm reviews, most critics have praised Highmore's work.^[143]
