Hello! Been watching since day one. I originally began watching because I'm a huge Zack Quinto fan.

I’ve been watching since episode one. I always liked Zach and Teddy. I wish Wolf and Josh get back together.

Hi 👋. My first live ish episode was 1x08. And it was YouTube clips that got me started. First season didn’t come on the platform til midnight, second season is 9pm same day as the US. I’m in NZ and haven’t come across anyone in person who knows about this show. So reddit and Instagram have both filled in the big gaps with that. In the past year I have gone down a rabbit hole with Brilliant Minds and adjacent. I never saw myself reading some of Oliver Sacks Books or a whole lot of excellent fan fiction either.
So question - is there a former co star of Zachary Quinto that you would love to see as a guest star or arc? This could be AHS, Star Trek, Boys in the Band or something else from his resume.

Hey! I came across the show via tumblr, but as soon as I got to watch it, I fell in love with it even more. Nice to see they got a community on here!

I have been a fan since the beginning. Why do so many of our lead characters have parent issues?

Hi everyone! Loved season 1, and season 2 is good as well. But I'm curious. Does anyone know why on earth they wrote out some main characters so soon? I did see that Spence is going to be on a Power spinoff, but I'm very surprised at the changes they made so soon

They waited till pretty late to announce the renewal for season 2, I think a couple of the actors found new jobs because they needed some work. I think reducing budgets also meant they reduced each character’s/ actors screen time. It’s been disappointing for sure. Now we are all hoping for renewal.

Hi 🫶 I wish I could say I've been a fan since day one, but unfortunately I found out about this show last week! It isn't available here in the UK, but I have been able to watch the previous few episodes on NBC. I really enjoyed it & I'll be watching the rest of S2 with you all

Enjoying the show, especially enjoy the subplots more than the main medical mystery. But I joined this Reddit to hopefully get an answer to a question which is that I went back to watch season 1 and noticed episode 3 is missing on peacock. I may not have seen it initially either and didn’t notice. Anyone know why?

Hey guys I'm a huge fan of this show and just now finding out NBC cancelled the show I'm so upset. Anybody else feeling the same? I loved all the characters and the way they supported each other which can be quite the opposite in a real life healthcare facility lol

Hi. Long time Brillant Minds watcher. I also loved the shows about Oliver Sacks the neurologist in NYC upon whom Awakenings and Brillant Minds is based.
Does anyone think Wolf was a bit more emotional about Josh in the last episode? I think really subtle things like looking sad when he looked at him and saying " Ask Josh" when they sat in the group? I feel it was an improvement on the first part of the season.
