The Good Doctor: Season 1/ Episode 17 “Smile” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
The upside of a situation is what everyone is trying to find but, as you can figure out, not everyone can end the episode happy. Much less satisfied.

For The People is likable but seems largely unremarkable as it doesn’t bring anything new to the legal drama format. Besides a focus on young attorneys exclusively.
2nd chances at happiness are a big thing this episode. Especially in regards to Shaun’s friend Kenny and the arrival of Claire’s mom. But, of course, not everyone deserves a 2nd shot.
Shaun gains invaluable lessons from Morgan, unexpected kindness from Dr. Andrews, and poor Claire experiences a moment she didn’t see coming.
A new resident seemingly will act as some sort of villain for the show and alongside her introduction is that of what trans youth go through. Especially in terms of medical issues.
Jessica finally is given some oomph and, for the first time, we experience patients for more than one episode.
The first half of The Good Doctor is a consistently tear-inducing saga with very few issues to name.
Shaun finally seems to succumb to the pressure he is under but not because of the work. Rather, it is because of Dr. Glassman.
With a mistake which could lead to a lawsuit and another a child’s death, it seems more people might be visiting Dr. Mohan – alongside Jessica.
Being the bigger person, admitting you are wrong, and dealing with guilt are the focus of the episode. And not just in terms of everyone’s profession but personal life as well.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
