Review of A Gifted Man

A Gifted Man (2011–2012)
7/10
Solid, but could use some tweaking

I like this show and DVR it every week. I think Patrick Wilson is a fine actor (physically and talent-wise) and his supporting cast, save his ex-wife is a good fit as well. The show is decent, non-offensive, family friendly, etc. For that reason alone, it's a keeper, and it's a shame CBS put it on Friday night, something networks do with programming they don't really believe in. Perhaps, if it does get the ax, Hallmark or the Family Channel will pick it up. I think it would b a good fit for stations like that.

While it's a solid show I will continue to support, the show could use some tweaking. Most notably, the character of the ex-wife really ads nothing positive to the show. It's an annoying character and the storyline of the doc engaging the ex-wife for some supposed significant reason is not fleshed through well. It's really difficult to figure out how that part adds anything to the show, as the show could stand on its own, without that component.

But check it out. I would hate for this show to be canceled as it is one of only a few positive family-friendly shows out there right now.
