The Gifted One

It's a shame that it wasn't picked up. It would have made a good series or at least a 2 part movie so the audience wasn't left hanging. I was really disappointed that no one carried through with the project.

I hope after checking the reviews again that someone smartens up and finishes this with either another movie at or a TV series. Now would be a good time for it to be done. There are too many apocalyptic movies on and too much fear mongering about war. There is also a plethora of Prepper information floating around right. It makes you wonder if it is time to sell everything and head for the hills. Everyone needs a feel good boost about now!

Just saw this more or less by mistake, but I watched all the way through before finding out it was supposed to be a TV series. Then wanting to see if there were more I found out it was a single pilot.

Did learn it was done in 1989 and it shows. Another reviewer said it suffered from bad writing. Well, I guess that would be true, but overall it could have been a fairly good TV series.

There are still a few people that think people do not use the full potential of their minds, or brain. While I am in no position to debate the issue, it would still a make for a good story if the writing were improved.

The writing may have been OK for 1989 but for today it would need to be tightened up. I wouldn't mind seeing the young man find his birth mother, and from what was shown, she may have the same powers as he does.

I would like to see this done. But it has the earmarks of other stories of people looking for someone while at the same time being hunted. The Fugitive comes to mind. Or the early Hulk TV show. That it was so much like those may have been why it wasn't picked up as a series.

The same here, I saw it by mistake on YouTube and I wanted to see the test, but it was never made. Sad, is entertaining

Young man escapes from an organisation has special talents constantly travelling to avoid capture and in search of his mother. This pilot never went to series but several years later we have tv series The Pretender with a very similar concept. Peter Kowanko was terrific as Michael I had seen him previously in Solarbabies and Date With An Angel with some guest roles on various tv shows, it is a shame he retired from acting but as long as he is happy with his life no regrets.

This had all the good elements for a good T.V. show. The story line sounds a little like Smallville and Roswell. So why was it not a series? The story about a young man with special powers. On the run from a government. And tries to find why he is so different. All the questions never got answered.
