Good Doctor (2013)
10/10
Amazing series in every way! No surprise it inspired the US version.

This is an amazing series, in every respect. Acting, writing, realization and drama. The basis for the ABC series The Good Doctor, it is such a great idea, that it's natural that it would be adapted in the US. That said, it is superior in its execution and realization.

It treats Dr Parks condition more straightforwardly, with the expected opposition by fellow doctors, parents and the hospital administration in a more realistic fashion. No Hollywood-ization here: it's quite blunt, with more hospital corporate intrigue thatbits US counter-art (for the better IMO). The episodic (actually multi episode) dramas are very good, with cliffhangers, tension, moral quandaries and resolutions that are satisfying, if not always pleasant.

Performances are fantastic, with characters being given backstories, motivations and resolutions that ring true. You won't always know where they are going, but will be resolved (although not always happy) about how they conclude.

A really great series from the jump. Excellent!
