Despite some amazing talent, this drama fails to go beyond its sentimental premise. The quantity of talent both in front of and behind the camera of A Gifted Man is pretty staggering.
Unfortunately the big screen actors, director and writer struggle to turn an overly sentimental premise into compelling television. Michael Holt Patrick Wilson is an accomplished neurosurgeon that caters to celebrities. The trouble is, he's also an egotistical jerk, the kind that forgets his assistant's Margo Martindale birthday and after being reminded, fails to even wish her a happy one.
One evening, he runs into his ex-wife Anna Jennifer Ehle and awakens a bit of his inner nice guy. Things take a turn for the eerie when he tries to phone her the next day and his told that she died two week earlier. But the New Agey ghost-as-conscience thing--done better with so much crazy verve in the hallucinatory "Eli Stone"--is strained by the end of the first episode Read full review. Michael Landweber Sep 23, The general integrity of the first episode offers some hope that it won't become a Procedure of the Week melodrama.
Hank Stuever Sep 21, The earnestness comes in pretty strong doses, but it might be good for what ails you. Matt Roush Sep 26, It's all a bit edgier than you might imagine, and I'll be giving this another look--though it's probably not going to keep me home on Fridays. Ellen Gray Sep 23, Yes, it sounds insane you can't have ghosts on CBS who don't help solve crimes and like many of this season's pilots, it left me wondering how the show's premise could be sustained for more than a few episodes, much less multiple seasons.
But it's an awfully pretty pilot. David Wiegand Sep 23, It's painful watching an actor as skilled as Wilson trying to force-feed credibility to a horrifically unbelievable moment and sadly failing. Things only get worse from here on. User Score. Write a Review. User Reviews. Very high quality filming that is so easy to watch.
The stories draw the viewer in, the characters are totally believable, and the end of the episode leaves you wanting more.
I hope this wonderful show will find its audience and that CBS will keep it around. There aren't many high quality dramas on TV anymore. Love, love, love this show! Shaili Mar 10, November 28, pm. Reply to Linda.
