A Gifted Man

This is a great show. If you like medical dramas with some supernatural and comic relief mixed in. The show moves at a pace with minimal drag on parts. If you liked the movie passengers with Ann Hathaway and Patrick Wilson who stars in this ironically too, then you will really enjoy this. Its a show where all you have to do is watch one episode and you are hooked, trust me. Its also a show where you wont want the episode to end and you will look forward to the next one all week. Its a combo ER and Grey's anatomy, ghost but roles flipped flopped. What makes it better then those two is the pace the show goes at, plus the show is funny too without forcing it and trying to be. Saying he is a gifted surgeon is an understatement, but he lacks people skills which makes the show funny to. Please give this show a shot for one show, you will love it.

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.

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.

I have spent the entire weekend watching the first 12 episodes and at first I thought it was a little like House but then I got over it. I like Michael Holt and I like that he reveals a little of himself every week. The menagerie that accompanies him every week fits in with each episode and the writing is quite good.

I know it's probably headed for the scrapheap because most of the good ones are but I hope it reveals a lot more of Michael and Anna's relationship that we don't know already.

I love Rita and while I didn't like her at first she is the type to grow on you and certainly would pull the group at the Clinic into line and probably get them the money they need to continue to support the community.

Good one! Well done and let's hope that if the show is canceled that Patrick Wilson finds another home on TV very soon. He would be sorely missed otherwise.
