Zachary Quinto Is Delightful in NBC’s Mind-Bending Medical Drama ‘Brilliant Minds’: TV Review


In NBC's newest medical drama, "Brilliant Minds," Zachary Quinto plays eccentric neurologist Dr. Oliver Wolf, who thwarts hospital protocols.

While the series adheres to the formulaic case-centered cadence that has anchored the genre for decades, fascinating neurological mysteries, intricate character backstories and true advocacy for the human mind sustain the show as it struggles to find its rhythm. Because of Bronx General’s high turnover rate and a lack of oversight, residents Dr. Van Markus (Alex MacNicoll), Dr. Ericka Kinney (Ashleigh LaThrop), Dr. Jacob Nash (Spence Moore II) and Dr. Dana Dash (Aury Krebs) are enthusiastic about being under Dr. Wolf’s charge — yet aren’t quite prepared for the kind of chaos he brings. When a group of pregnant teen girls turns up at Bronx General, Dr. Wolf and the residents find themselves on a strange path involving friendship bonds and the witchy side of TikTok (called WitchTok).
