Demme Makes It As Good As It Can Be
I’m not going to like anything that could be described as ghost whisperer meets ER no matter how good it is.
But I have to say, if you stories about like ghosts (which are really just golden hearted secular angels) and mean, rich men learning how to love impoverished Hispanic children, then The Gifted Man is probably the highest quality version you can find.
It’s directed by Jonathan Demme, so it actually looks like a professional show (something I’ve found shockingly lacking this season) and the cast is largely stellar. She channels Meryl Streep, he balances a tough roll, but I was most happy to see the wonky eyed entomologist from Silence of the Lambs back on screen.
Almost skipped this one entirely (like I did H8R).
But what do you think?
