And it's that intensity that has Indie Wire saying the David Boreanaz-led drama is another hit, and is a shoo-in for a second season renewal.

When Homelessness Gives Hope
Once upon a time, giving money to strangers was a rarity for me. I preferred to donate to charities that I had screened so I knew the money wasn’t going for a nefarious purpose. So the night my friends and I decided to go shopping downtown, I never expected to part with a cent that wasn’t for a Christmas gift.

Three Reasons Why 'The Good Doctor' Is A Ratings Phenomenon
Medical shows have, for the most part, been successful over the years. Series like Grey's Anatomy, ER and Chicago Med captured the attention of millions of viewers, many of whom were devastated when ER ended in 2009. Though Chicago Med has certainly picked up the slack, there was room for another medical drama, this one focusing on one doctor—much like House, M.D.—rather than a group of doctors.

You'll Want These TV Witches On Your Side When Evil Comes A-Knockin'
Witches have gotten a bad rap over the years. Most of the time, they can be portrayed as green-faced hags with warts and hooked noses and labeled "evil" because their powers are otherworldly. Take the Wizard of Oz's Wicked Witch of the West, portrayed by Margaret Hamilton, as a prime example. We can thank her the tinted complexion, which can immediately come to mind when we hear the word "witch," but it wasn't to make her appear any creepier than she already was. But it wasn't her skin tone that gave the Wicked Witch of the West so much influence over the creation of witches in the next two and a half decades. It was the clear lack of redeemable qualities. She was clearly a villain and enjoyed the role. It wasn't until 1964 and the introduction of Bewitched's Samantha Stevens that viewers caught a glimpse of a witch that had a good heart.
