  2. I keep osculating on this show. I thought it should have finished at the end of last season, but some of the episodes this season have been well above average (The Good Lawyer in particular). Most of it is a tad formulaic, but all scripted drama is formulaic nowadays.

    I actually think Highmore does a good job of capturing the essence of a person with Aspergers. I wanted to see him in a show where he playing a normal person to see if he was a good actor or not. There was a movie on TV the other week with him in it, but I didn’t end up taping it.

    Personally I think the show should finish after this season, but the producers often don’t know when to quit, before the decision is forced upon them.

      1. It was a pilot so I’d expect confirmation of whether it going to series in the next few weeks. Highly likely I’d say – spin-offs and reboots are generally considered a safer bet.

  3. I do not get the popularity of this show. I can’t even watch the trailer without laughing at Highmore’s terrible acting. It’s like he’s sucking on helium. It’s so far removed from real life, it’s not funny.

    2. This U.S. ABC show is based on the hit South Korean series that was shown on Netflix. The American entertainment industry has been ‘recycling’ numerous successful foreign screenplays for U.S. TV dramas in recent years, perhaps it’s a sign of the Hollywood times.
