What is Gifted about?

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
A single man fights for his prodigy niece, navigating heartwarming family drama with wholesome humor.
Intimate. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
