I can't believe I'm offering my opinion on A Gifted Man for public consumption. Ignore my rating; it's a come-on. What interests me is not the show itself so much as my reaction to it. It's easy to find fault. It's a TV medical drama, and behaves like it. Still, I keep watching it. It's also easy to find positive things about the show as well. Now that all of the episodes are no longer available for purchase online (why that would be is a mystery), I've spent what I consider to be a good chunk of money on the DVD set (through the back door of eBay) so that I can watch the now missing episodes. A lost treasure recovered? Really? I don't know if you, dear reader, have experienced this predicament, where you watch TV shows you can't justify to anyone, you just watch them. Again and again.

I'm glad to see that there are users who enjoyed the series. And there were those who didn't. To both camps, may I recommend that you give a look to the novels on which this series is based? Benjamin Black's Quirk plots are an excuse to display language that is a both joy and a marvel to behold. It's unfair to ask that the richness and complexities of these books be translated to a TV series. Even so, watching, I kept thinking, 'There is so much more.' To the naysayers of the series, if nothing else, may its existence lead you to give the books a try.

On another note, I thoroughly enjoyed Stanley Townsend's Inspector Hackett. Just right.
