The Good Doctor Season 1 Episode 2 "Mount Rushmore" Review


Dr. Shaun Murphy's attention to detail complicates his first day; Dr. Claire Browne learns a valuable lesson about honesty when confronted with a difficult diagnosis for her patient.

This was a really entertaining and interesting episode that was really dedicated to introducing Shaun to the world of surgery and the ER. It was really fun how they had Shaun not realizing that what he was doing was supposed to be really terrible work he just saw it as work that he had to get it done. And it was really interesting how they chose to approach everything with Shawn not wanting to let people go unless he thought that they were fully healthy and he kind of had to go and learn the lesson that you can't prevent every illness for happening you only are supposed to like treat them for right now. And then that was interesting how for the most part that rang true but they did have one person in this episode where Shaun's extra precautious look at everyone actually end up saving her. And it was a little sad and a little disappointing how they had Shaun sort of outcast from the rest of the group because the doctor didn't want him on the team so they decided to sort of sideline him. And then it was disappointing how when Shaun did have a good idea that ends up savings or the main patient one of the other doctors took credit for it. The storyline that followed that moment was also really interesting where the two doctors are talking and one says how taking credit for Shaun's idea is the same as the other doctor taking credit for a successful surgery that she didn't even want to do on the patient. It is also really interesting who is on Shaun's side and who isn't because some are just using Shaun for there own gain and other actually care. Then all the flashback moments were really interesting with seeing more of how Shaun grew up, and the ending flashback scene was sad with Shaun holding on to his dying brother. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that did have some great moments to it.
