Season 5 of “Good Doctor”, with Freddie Highmore, is currently broadcast on TF1.

Last week, TF1 broadcast a new episode of Good Doctor, the hospital series with Freddie Highmore in the role of Shaun Murphy. A series that is a hit on the front page channel, just like in the United States. On the other side of the Atlantic, season 6 has just started on ABC. On the menu, and for the first time since its history, The Good Doctor will contain 22 episodes in this chapter. We will once again find our ultra-brilliant young surgeon who suffers from autism (Asperger’s) and the scientist’s syndrome. A rare disease giving the patient exceptional intellectual skills in certain areas. Here, Murphy notably has an excellent memory. As for Doctor House, we inevitably ask ourselves the question of whether the series is inspired by a true story.

We will quickly kill all suspense, the answer is no. The saga was not imagined after a real case. On the other hand, the scriptwriters of the fiction have researched a lot to offer the most realistic representation possible of the disorder from which he suffers. In particular, they met many autistic people. The cast also includes an actor who knows Asperger’s syndrome well since Richard Schiff, who plays the president of the hospital, himself has an autistic son. This is one of the reasons he agreed to star in the series. Good Doctor is the adaptation of a South Korean fiction produced by David Shore, the creator of Doctor House.

What awaits us for season 6?

Warning, this sequel contains spoilers! The sixth season will open on Shaun and Lea’s (Paige Spara) wedding night, but as the party heats up, a tragedy occurred in the San José hospital. In the very last seconds of season 5, doctor Audrey Lim (Christina Chang) was stabbed by the companion of one of her colleagues whom she tried to protect. Shaun will then decide to leave his wedding party to save his boss. Besides this drama, this new season will see Shaun become a resident after five years of internship. It will also propose the arrival of two new characters, namely Daniel and Danica (nicknamed Danny and Danni and interpreted by Brandon Larracuente and Savannah Welch) who will be the new interns.
