Another said: ‘The reason why i dont prefer watching a series is bcz when it ends, i cant stop crying.
‘Finally ended watching 7 seasons of #TheGoodDoctor on #Netflix.
‘Will miss u Dr. Shaun Murphy, Dr. Glassman, Dr. Lim, Claire, Park, Reznick, Lea & everyone else.’
A third remarked: ‘THE BEST MEDICAL MOVIE I’VE WATCHED THE GOOD DOCTOR. #GoodDoctor.’
A fourth penned: ‘Best end of a series ever.’
While a fifth commented: ‘Obsessed with The Good Doctor, I started it just two days ago.
‘The story of an autistic child with extraordinary memory and abilities, and his struggle to become a surgeon while living with autism, is deeply moving.
‘Every episode makes me emotional in some way.’
The cast also includes Richard Schiff, Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Gonzalez, Hill Harper, Christina Chang and Paige Spara, to name a few.
Lead actor Freddie, 33, also served as a producer on the series and received a Golden Globe nomination for his role as Shaun.
It comes as Netflix viewers also raved over a crime drama packed with ‘so many unexpected twists and turns‘.
The new series, which was launched on the streaming site on January 2, is set in Sweden and follows the investigation of a young teenager who is found dead.
Land Of Sin, which was created by Goliath and Beartown director Peter Grönlund, stars Krista Kosonen as lead investigator Dani, who is put on the case.
She’s joined by Mohammed Nour Oklah as her new partner Malik, and the pair are quick to uncover a violent family feud while looking to solve the crime.
It all begins when teenager Silas is found dead at a farmhouse in the Bjäre peninsula, who investigator Dani has a personal connection with, and as she and Malik follow the trail.

When they uncover a deep-running family feud, patriarch Elis, played by Peter Gantman, gives Dani a deadline to solve the case before taking matters into his own hands within the family.
Creator Peter teased of the drama: ‘This is not your average crime show.
‘The world we enter here is darker, more fragile — a place where shame, love and violence share the same pulse.
‘We pushed beyond formula and style to portray the people at the edge, their fears, loyalties and survival instincts — a raw, cinematic journey into the psychology that drives them, and the secrets they carry like a second skin.’
Despite the drama being in Swedish with an English language dub, it’s shot up the UK Netflix charts and currently sits among its coveted Top 10 Most Watched.
Already, fans have been heaping praise on the series, taking to reviews sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes to share their thoughts.
One viewer penned: ‘Land of Sin is one of the absolutely the BEST dark crime thriller I’ve ever seen! It’s so intense and moody – pure Nordic noir perfection!
‘Oh man, it uncovers the darkest family secrets and generational feuds you’ve ever seen. So many twists and turns that had me yelling at the screen every episode. I did NOT see half of them coming!
‘It’s super gritty and depressing in the best way, with all the shame, violence, and loyalty stuff hitting hard. Only 5 episodes but I binged it in one night and couldn’t sleep after.’
The Good Doctor is available to stream on Netflix.
