A Gifted Man is a television drama series that aired on CBS from 2011 to 2012. It stars Patrick Wilson as Dr. Michael Holt, a successful and selfish neurosurgeon who is completely focused on his career and not interested in anything else. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when his ex-wife Anna (Jennifer Ehle) appears to him as a ghost seeking his help in running a free clinic that she started before she died. Meanwhile, Michael's loyal assistant Rita (Margo Martindale) helps him navigate his new reality and the challenges of running a clinic with limited resources.

The show focuses on Michael's journey as he navigates his new reality and learns to be a better person. Initially resistant to Anna's request to help run her clinic, he eventually begins to see the value in helping those in need and learns to put others before himself. The clinic allows Michael to help people from all walks of life, including the less fortunate, and the relationships he forms with his patients and co-workers begin to have a profound impact on him.

Throughout the series, Michael must also balance his career at a prestigious hospital with his work at the clinic. While he is an accomplished surgeon, he begins to question the effectiveness of traditional medicine and the corporate, profit-driven culture of hospitals. His experiences at the clinic cause him to reconsider his priorities and challenge the status quo.

A Gifted Man also delves into Michael's personal life, including his relationships with his sister, his estranged mother, and his love interest, a caring and compassionate doctor named Kate (Rachelle Lefevre). Michael's complex relationships with these characters provide additional depth to the show and explore the ways in which human connections can impact personal growth.

The show utilizes themes of loss, redemption, and the power of human connection to create a compelling and emotionally charged narrative. Each episode tackles difficult issues, such as poverty, addiction, and illness, in a thoughtful and compassionate way. Some episodes even feature supernatural elements, as Anna continues to visit Michael from beyond the grave and offer him guidance and support.

One of the show's strengths is its stellar cast. Wilson delivers a nuanced and compelling performance as Michael, portraying his transformation from selfish and flawed to empathetic and caring with authenticity and depth. Ehle is equally impressive as the ghostly Anna, providing a haunting and mysterious presence to the show. Martindale, meanwhile, brings an understated but impactful energy to her role as Michael's assistant and confidant.

Overall, A Gifted Man is a thought-provoking and moving television show that explores important themes and characters with a deft hand. Its stellar cast and emotional storytelling make it a standout drama that is worth watching for anyone looking for a show that is both insightful and entertaining.

A Gifted Man is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (16 episodes). The series first aired on September 23, 2011.
