Good Doctor - Netflix

This Korean medical drama is definitely worth the watch. The synopsis reads: "A savant-like paediatric surgeon is in constant conflict with a fellow doctor - a rivalry that heats up when they develop feelings for the same woman." The American adaptation is also available on NOW, and stars Freddie Highmore (Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as a brilliant autistic surgeon, Shaun.
