The Good Doctor has broken the mold for a drama in its first season this year, beating out heavy hitters like NCIS and The Big Bang Theory in ratings consistently. It has amassed a dedicated following, and does especially well in key demographics like adults from ages 18-49.

He’s up against @SterlingKBrown and I think they are both deserving. However, no disrespect to Sterling, but so rooting for #FreddieHighmore. #GoldenGlobes

The nomination is a nice consolation prize for fans who are just now realizing that the show is on a mid-season break. The Good Doctor returns to finish out its freshman season on Monday, Jan. 8.
