Freddie is an absolute pleasure to watch! Yes, I have to admit that the content of the script and some of the characters are a bit cliché, but Freddie's acting skills go above it all. Not for one second whilst watching the show, did I think about the fact that he was acting. The way he acted simply made the viewer get sucked in to the character and the plot.
To be honest, I expected more from the show, specifically the shows producer ("House M.D). I was annoyed that yet again everyone are hotshot doctors who can do everything and nobody ever dies. I think us viewers are sick and tired of another basic medical drama. I would have liked to see more of the real aspect of medicine where not everything is doable. In some way,everything on the show is predictable. At first we'll be presented with this episode's patient, followed by Dr.Melendez looking good and arrogant. Then Dr. Murphy will suggest a course of treatment which by that point Dr. Melendez will refuse to listen and continue to hear Dr. Brown/Kalu's suggestions. All of a sudden the doctors all but Murphy are operating and find out something isn't right. Then! Dr. Murphy visualizes the whole human anatomy in his brain and makes a brilliant suggestion which is followed by Dr. Kalu/ Brown presenting it to Dr. Melendez as their own. The idea becomes a success thus presenting Dr. Murphy as the genius we were promised in the show's first episode and everything is perfect again.
If it weren't for Freddie Highmore, I wouldn't have thought the show was as good. Overall, the script is fine, The actors do their job at portraying each personality and I enjoyed watching the show. I would have liked it to be just a little bit more realistic and less predictable, that's all.
