En cuerpo y alma

I was nicely surprised when I finished watching the first episode of Gifted Man. Even it is placed in medical context it is not like any of medical drama shows on TV. Many of them are so popular, and some of them are very good made, but they are all almost the same and are oriented only in character relations and melodramatics in everyday life.

So I don't watch them. If I would be medical professional I would probably watch them all. On the other hand everything that is different from conventional, and have a bit of mystery in it always attracts me. And that medical part here, looks serious and professional.

With that in mind I was happy to see what Gifted Man will tell me. I was not disappointed at all, at least with pilot. Not some masterpiece but overall, it is very good and even in medical context not like any well known medical show we know.

First we have very good actors in it, like it is Patrick Wilson and Julie Benz, and second, the spiritual world. I am interesting to see how they will develop this, maybe the hardest and questionable aspect. So it is not an easy task. It must be presented somehow believable. If they fail in in it the whole show will fall. For now the segment in dealing with what me missed through life was very good and it fits right.

I don't know much about Shaman's ritual, but I hope they present it in correct way.

So with first very good impression, I am happy to see where it will go, and I hope I will not be disappointed.

Greetings, I think this show is the best show that has hit the screen in a long time. PLEASE keep the show going. We need shows like this it is serious and informative as well. I think the cast as a whole is an 11-More than excellent. LOVE IT. I would like to say that the Patrick is one of the best actors I have ever seen, he is witty and very serious. He plays the part of Dr. Holt. I know that this is just a show, however I think the real Doctors in real life should take a look at this show. Attitude is what I am talking about. Professional people need to take note of peoples feelings and act on this. Wear a smile on your face. Not all things are bad.

It's a same ol' same ol' hospital drama, nothing new and this one very unrealistic on top of it. The mystical story doesn't contribute much to the plot either except being a gimmick. In the Pilot it all looked very promising but by episode 3 i can't find anything to keep watching it. The characters are bland and cliché with the depth and wisdom of a soap opera. The story line is nowhere exciting.

It's obvious where it's supposed to go: stubborn cold hearted rich MD at a private clinic gets turned around by the good hearted spirit of his ex wife who was a living saint. So far he's been running between two clinics (a rich and a poor - get is?) solving complicated medical issues without any trouble, while he gets nagged on by his ex wife. There is no depth anywhere and i couldn't care less about either of the characters. Just very boring. Very disappointing.

It is so refreshing to see a new show of this caliber. I have this show set to record on DVR because I never want to miss an episode. The cast is perfect and it is so refreshing to see someone in the medical profession willing to help others without the concern of money. There is so much greed in the world it is a sin the way many people can not afford proper medical treatment in this country. This is not only true of the poor but also the middle class. I would love to see this show continue on the line up for next season and future seasons to come. In my opinion this was the best Friday night new show of the season. I would hate to see this how canceled before it got off the ground.

Nice balance of analytical thinking and the mystical, as well as looking at the materialistic and service orientation, of one's life. It was fast-paced but thought provoking. I really liked it! I am in the health care field and am rather discerning about these types of shows. This one had the depth to hold my interest, as well as accurate medical information. It really depicted the thinking of the traditional left-brained physician, and evolved to demonstrate how "rational" that physicians are, traditionally. I liked that this opener challenged that thinking. I felt that the characters were well chosen for this series and that lent further credibility to the show. The mark of a good opener for any series is that it is interesting, has depth, and leaves one yearning for more. I felt that this show definitely did just that. It made me wonder, "What will be next?" I would definitely recommend this show to others.
