I try not to watch network TV because everything is about virtue signaling and after you’ve seen TV for a few years, you see how formulaic it is. Last night, I came across a show called “The Good Doctor” which is about an autistic doctor who can’t communicate with people but always has the right diagnosis. Sounds like they thought House had too much going for him, well, this guy is as undimorphic as you can get.
His name is Freddie Highmore and I vaguely remember seeing him when he was a child actor, pretty good. Unfortunately, he’s terminally unappealing so he has to play crazies like the guy in Bates Motel or an autistic savant who can diagnose a pseudo infection but can’t get a girl to look at him as anything more than a puppy. Whereas just a decade ago, an ugly guy could play a ladies man, now he’s reduced to apeing monotone autists and his character only being appreciated when he bails out the suave doctor or the cute resident.
