If you saw the first season, you will have almost certainly waiting for “Brilliant Minds” season 2 to see if the sophomore outing can build on the promise of the original. You had no need to worry. Neurologist Dr Oliver Wolf (played by Zachary Quinto) is back and in great form…
Here’s how you can watch “Brilliant Minds” season 2 online and from anywhere with a VPN.
Is his father – Dr. Noah Wolf (Mandy Patinkin) – still about? You betcha. If the big reveal last time round was that Noah was Oliver’s father and still alive then the big question was for how long as he is suffering from a mysterious condition only his son might be able to treat.
And if you think that poses ethical questions and opens a family history size can of worms you’d be right but it is far from the only consideration as the case-per-week approach makes sure of a rotating cast of diverse characters with even more diverse mental health issues.
