....review. Because I felt the opposite regarding this episode. What especially surprised (and delighted) me was the character (and relationship) development with Jordan and Shaun.
I vaguely recall not enjoying the new character, Jordan, possibly even disliking said character. The writers have done an excellent job developing and adding intriguing layers to Jordan and her relationships with both Shaun and Lea, and in so doing have improved and likewise made Lea (who was becoming a tad obsolete and uninteresting) more interesting. Multiple times (episodes) over the seasons I began to feel the show losing that character chemistry that is absolutely necessary for a medical show to thrive and become a decade long show, and they pull a rabbit out of their hat by developing the characters.
Medical shows will always be able to present us with interesting medical cases, but for longevity, to produce a medical drama that can stand the test of time, the characters must have chemistry, heart, relationships, advancements--all without falling into the trap of the soap opera effect that the long running ER medical drama fell into in the later seasons.
The Good Doctor appears to be finding just the right balance as evidenced over the last 5 seasons. Hallmark my a$$, that reviewer needs to be tied to a chair and forced to watch a hallmark production in its entiriety-lol!
