Brilliant Minds S1
In Brilliant Minds, Emmy nominee Zachary Quinto (Spock in Star Trek, Sylar in Heroes) stars as Dr Oliver Wolf, an eccentric but gifted neurologist who suffers from a rare condition that gives him a unique perspective on care, fuelling his mission to change the way the world sees his patients.
Inspired by the books The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars by neurologist Oliver Sacks, Brilliant Minds is created by Peabody winner Michael Grassi (Schitt's Creek, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, Riverdale).
Brilliant Minds has an 88% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus says, “Benefitting from a characteristically sharp performance by Zachary Quinto, Brilliant Minds is a medical procedural with brains but also a surprising amount of heart.”
