A hit on Netflix and on TV, mocked on the internet: this series is currently being ridiculed by Twitter and TikTok

Anyone who spends a lot of time on TikTok or Twitter and also follows English-language accounts and their users will probably not be able to ignore The Good Doctor in recent days. Because there are countless posts and videos being shared, some of which have thousands of likes, comments and other interactions. Almost everyone asks in surprise: What the hell is The Good Doctor? However, the series is mainly mocked and there are now also shit storms for a reason.

It almost seems like the network is just now discovering “The Good Doctor”, even though the series has been running successfully since 2017. For example, in Germany, with the release of new seasons on Netflix, it always became one of the most watched titles there. There are over 100 episodes and a seventh season has recently been ordered. It centers on Freddie Highmore as the autistic medical genius Dr. Shaun Murphy. Based on a Korean series, the American version of David Shore, who has been a star since “Dr. House” is one of the most successful American series creators.

It started with a meme…

The current discussion about “The Good Doctor” probably started with a clip in which the main character confronted Dr. Han (Daniel Dae Kim), who is kind of the villain of the series, screams.
