The Internet like a predator in a pen. It may get along well with its keeper for years, but on day X it will bite its throat without warning. This is what is happening to the successful doctor series The Good Doctor, which has now had six seasons on Amazon and so far has hardly had any reason for ridicule or malice. That has now changed radically.

As a result, the Internet expanded its malice to other scenes in the series. Awkward discussions about gender identities and bizarre music inserts are just two reasons for the mockery.
