Netflix watchers are in tears—but in the best way—thanks to a medical drama that has been hailed by fans as one of the most emotional and moving shows ever.
Originally airing on ABC from 2017 to 2024, the series has now found a new audience on the streaming platform.
The show follows Dr. Shaun Murphy, an autistic surgeon with extraordinary medical talent, portrayed by Freddie Highmore.
Despite skepticism from colleagues, Shaun constantly proves his brilliance and compassion throughout his journey at a California hospital.
Fans have been quick to praise the series’ perfect blend of drama, heart, and emotional storytelling.
Fans Can’t Stop Talking About the Finale
The show has quickly climbed Netflix’s Top 10, with viewers praising its final season.
Social media has been buzzing with reactions.
One fan tweeted, “The Good Doctor Season 7 on Netflix is the best New Year present. Truly underrated!”
Another admitted, “I hate finishing series because I can’t stop crying—but I finally watched all seven seasons and I’m heartbroken.”
Viewers have also shared their love for the characters, from Dr. Glassman and Dr. Lim to Claire, Park, and Reznick.
“Will miss you all,” one fan wrote, highlighting just how attached audiences have grown to the hospital staff.
Others simply declared it “the best end of a series ever” or “THE BEST medical drama I’ve ever watched.”
Freddie Highmore Shines On and Off Screen
Freddie Highmore, now 33, didn’t just act in the series—he also produced it.
His portrayal of Shaun earned him a Golden Globe nomination, showcasing his ability to bring depth and authenticity to a character navigating autism and extraordinary medical challenges.
The supporting cast, including Richard Schiff, Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Gonzalez, Hill Harper, Christina Chang, and Paige Spara, also drew praise for their performances.
Netflix Crime Drama Captures Nordic Noir Fans
While medical drama lovers rejoice, crime thriller fans have a new obsession.
Land of Sin, a Swedish crime series that premiered on Netflix on January 2, has captured viewers with its gripping story and dark atmosphere.
The show centers on investigator Dani, played by Krista Kosonen, who is tasked with solving the death of a teenager named Silas.
Partnered with Malik, portrayed by Mohammed Nour Oklah, Dani discovers a violent family feud that complicates the case.
The series dives deep into a world of secrets, loyalty, and generational tension.
Creator Peter Grönlund promised, “This is not your average crime show,” adding that the story explores human fears and instincts in a raw, cinematic way.
Even with a Swedish language track and English dub, the show has rapidly climbed the UK Netflix charts and now sits in the Top 10.
Viewers Praise Nordic Noir Drama
Fans have been raving about Land of Sin, sharing glowing reviews online.
One wrote, “One of the best dark crime thrillers I’ve ever seen! So intense and moody—pure Nordic noir perfection.”
Viewers praised the show’s twists, intense family secrets, and emotional depth.
Another noted, “I binged all five episodes in one night and couldn’t sleep afterward—it’s gritty, dark, and absolutely captivating.”
What to Stream Next
For those in the mood for gripping storytelling, Netflix currently offers two very different but equally binge-worthy experiences: the emotional journey of The Good Doctor and the intense, twist-filled world of Land of Sin.
Both shows are proving that great characters and powerful storytelling resonate, whether you’re in a hospital or unraveling a dark family mystery in Sweden.
Both series are available to stream now on Netflix.
