Brilliant Minds

It's been a while since there's been a "rogue genius doctor" series on network, so it's about time.

Firstly, I think it's awesome they let Quinton's character be openly homosexual. Not sure how it's relivant to the story but we shall see.

The show itself is basically "House" just with a more focused specialty of neurology, face blindness instead of a limp, and not so much of a drug problem (so far).

You still have the strict Chief of Medicine, except this one is his mother instead of his "will they/wont they" romantic interest.

The thing I can do without are the SUPER CHEESY big speeches. They feel so absolutely fake and corny, and don't really further the plot. If the writers feel the need to include them, maybe write them into a small, one-on-one conversation instead of a big public speech.

I love the weird conditions the writers introduce us to, and the medical nerds out there will most certainly be blowing up Wikipedia (I did for Capgras Syndrome!) I think over time the show may truly find its feet and hopefully live to exist at least a few seasons, after all, NBC did renew the trash it brought us in 2023...
