I guess it's a good thing that they didn't just reboot House, but this is the next worse thing. The story is the same: brilliant, but flawed doctor uses unconventional methods to diagnose illnesses. Throw in some politically correct intersections (he's gay) that don't forward any plots and you have Brilliant Minds. You could overlook that if, like House, they had some really unique illness to keep you interested, but so far the stories have been pedestrian and the plot plodding. Continuity is also an issue as we're told that the protagonist suffers from "Face Blindness", yet doesn't seem to have trouble recognizing people when he sees them. So it's not terrible, but it's not really good, either. Yet?
