10 TV Shows That Are Somehow Getting Better

9. The Good Doctor

The White Lotus

Season 5 of medical drama The Good Doctor ended in pretty spectacular fashion when the wedding of two of the characters was hijacked by a mad gunman.

You're supposed to say "I object", not go on a murderous rampage! Hasn't this guy seen Shrek?

Anyway, that was a pretty dramatic point to leave things, so its natural that the show's ongoing sixth season picked up right where that action left off.

After a rollercoaster of an opening episode, the gunman is arrested and all the characters are safe. However, one of them ended up paralysed from the waist down, severely changing the course of the entire show.

Whilst The Good Doctor doesn't reinvent the wheel, Season 6 has proved that its still got plenty of melodrama left in its tank.

Hospitals are a natural setting for drama, with life and death decided there on a daily basis. The show has done well to maximise this potential, without ever letting it grow stale.

With more drama than ever before, The Good Doctor doesn't need to go under the knife and is far from on life support.

Sorry for the medical puns, but it was a golden opportunity.
