Product Description
From Emmy Award-winning executive producer, creator and director Glenn Gordon Caron ("Moonlighting") comes "Medium," a chilling drama series inspired by the real-life story of research medium Allison DuBois. Emmy winner Patricia Arquette ("Stigmata," "Flirting with Disaster") stars as a young wife and mother who, since childhood, has been struggling to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people. Arquette received the Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category after the telecast of the initial 16 episodes of the critically acclaimed series. Allison DuBois (Arquette) is a strong-willed young mother of three, a devoted wife and law student who begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams and read people's thoughts. Fearing for her mental health, she turns for support to her husband Joe (Jake Weber, "U-571"), an aerospace engineer, who slowly comes to believe that what his wife is telling him just might be true. The real challenge is convincing her boss, D.A. Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) -- and the other doubters in the criminal justice system -- that her psychic abilities can give them the upper hand when it comes to solving violent and horrifying crimes whose mysteries often reside with those who live beyond the grave. Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as Ariel and Bridgette, the two eldest DuBois children.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling, riveting drama!, June 3, 2008

By	J. Arena (Williamsburg, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I've read all of Allison Dubois wonderful books, and I feel that she is a person to admire. The show, Medium, is one of the most compelling and well-done dramas on television.

Ordinarily, television shows are not much more than background entertainment for me. The TV is on while I am engaged in numerous other projects. However, Medium is a show that requires my full attention. The acting and writing is splendid, and I love the presentation of Allison Dubois life in a very non-sensational yet totally riveting manner.

For me, watching Medium on TV is not enough, because so many of the shows are meaningful. Therefore, purchasing every season of the show is a necessity. If you're a fan, I recommend that you do the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars medium more then just a crime drama, March 15, 2008

By	Kimberly Miller (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This show is about a women who solves crimes through premonitions, dreams, and conversations with dead people. She starts out as a paralegal, law student, but feels that here ability gives her a unfair advantage, so she uses her ability to help the police solve crimes. But the show also has strong character interaction. Patricia Arquette and Jake Weber, who plays her husband on the show, work well as a team, on the show they pretray a strong marriage, they have a relationship that you rarely see on dramas. they way they work together to overcome daily hardships will have you rooting for them, and wanting to watch to make sure that they come out alright. Their three daughters on the show, played by Sofia Vassilieva,Maria Lark, and Miranda Carabello, also add an element to the show that gives it a little something extra. Sometimes the girls also have dreams and feelings that they have to learn to handle. And though sometimes the girls acting leaves something to be desired, it is usually easy to get past, and they add entertainment to the show. The family dynamics is what makes the show truely special. The secondary characters, the DA, Miguel Sandoval, and the detective, David Cubittthat, are excellent characters that make it even more watchable. You will like this show if you like dramas such as law and order, CSI, Criminal Intent, but the family relationships in this show is truly unique, and makes it very watchable.
