While this series may or may not be 'totally' historically accurate, it comes really close. The character development is great. I sincerely hope there will be additional seasons, beyond the first two. I would like to see how these people fared during the winter months.

The Good Doctor
(2017–2024)
good acting
9 October 2017
I set my system to record the series. I didn't really expect much, but I watch all medical dramas. Last night I watched the first episode, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I really liked it, especially the acting ability of the main character. He seems to be able to pull off being autistic, down to the lack of eye contact and the 'no affect' appearance. He certainly has an uphill battle all the way with his desire to be a surgeon. I will continue to watch the rest of the series, as I really enjoy it a lot more than I expected to.

kudos to Spike TV for a good show
28 July 2015
The costumes were absolutely gorgeous. The deceit, treachery and politics all seemed very apropos to today's goings on in the world. The photography was good and the scenes were engrossing. Good casting using Ben Kingsley, and the young Pharaoh was also well-cast.
I understand that this is the first original production for Spike TV. Well congratulations to you, Spike, because it was a very good show. The only issue I had was that the volume of the dialogue was too low in proportion to the volume of the music and/or action scenes.
I look forward to more original productions by this up and coming channel.

very entertaining -great attention to detail

This show is Sons of Anarchy - the History channel version. There is bloody violence galore, but not for the sake of gore or shock-value. It's part of the story because it is part of the history.
There is a tremendous amount of attention to detail in the set design, and the clothing and props. Someone did a whole lot of research before they produced this show. I just wish that some of the shots lasted longer, so one can take in all of the detail, instead of quickly changing camera angles.
The characters are well-rounded, and you come to know each one as a person, not simply an action figure. I hope this show continues for many seasons to come,and that the attention to detail remains. Also, that the writing stays as historically accurate as possible, considering that this is written for educationally entertaining drama.
