Freddie Highmore as Shaun Murphy in a poster for The Good Doctor
The Big Picture There is nothing more frustrating than a television series being canceled without notice, leaving audiences with a cliffhanger ending. Dramas such as Hannibal, A League of Their Own, and Quantum Leap have all ended with no conclusion in sight. That's why it can be so satisfying for shows to end on their own terms.
The Good Doctor Drama 810 The series follows Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon from the small city of Casper, Wyoming, where he had a troubled past. He relocates to San Jose, California, to work at the prestigious San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. Just when viewers thought the end of the season might turn out to be uplifting after all, the rug was pulled out from under everyone. In the penultimate episode, Dr. Claire Browne returns from Guatemala with a breast cancer diagnosis, while Dr. Aaron Glassman reveals to Shaun that his cancer is back, and it's terminal this time. This double-whammy appeared to mean that the final episode would be full of bad fortune. These two people mean the most to Shaun and his personal journey.
Then, the episode flashes forward 10 years. A somewhat older-looking Shaun, now the current Chief of Surgery at the hospital, is standing before an audience, giving a TED Talk. Behind him is a screen with a scrolling list of the names of every patient he has saved over the years. He talks about what he has learned as a physician, and finally, the list stops with Claire's name.
