Medium - The Complete Second Season (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is "Medium" --- The Complete Second Season, featuring 22 episodes of this amazing NBC series with performances by Emmy-award winning Patricia Arquette.This DVD includes some excellent bonus features. The bonus features are as follows:Commentaries --- For several episodes, featuring both crew and cast. These commentaries are insightful and entertaining and will definitely help you to understand certain aspects of the show better. It's too bad they couldn't do commentary for "Death Takes a Holiday" and "Twice Upon a Time," but I suspect they were still wrapping work on those eps while this DVD set was being created.
The Story of "Medium" Season 2 - Highlights of the season from beginning to end. Discusses how things changed between season one and two, some of the highest-quality episodes, and more.
"Medium" in Another Dimension --- Discusses the 3-D episode of the show, "Still Life." This is pretty interesting and has some insightful thoughts, but a lot of it is already covered in the commentary for that episode.
A Day in the Life of the Dubois Daughters --- Discusses the actresses that play the daughters of the show, as well as the characters themselves. Includes their school studies, how they prepare for the show and anecdotes and praise from other cast and crew.
The Museum of Television and Radio - Q&A with Cast and Creative Team --- Discusses the writing process for the show.
Gag Reel --- A fun gag reel, including mess-ups as well as joke scenes.If you're a fan of "Medium," or any good drama or science-fiction series, you can't afford to pass this up.

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.

Medium - The Complete First Season (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Season One debuted in January 2005 and ran through May with a total of 16 episodes. Based on a true story, the series follows Allison DuBois, an assistant to a district attorney, who has psychic dreams and solves murders. This well-produced series features an intense stand-out performance by Patricia Arquette (a surprise Emmy winner for Best Actress) as well as clever and involving story lines. The only annoyances are an irritating husband who never wants to believe his wife's gift. After several episodes, you would think he would be wiser by now. The cutesy child actors are another burden to the script but at least the middle kid is often funny to watch.
Episodes are:
#1 - "Pilot" - Allison's husband Joe hopes to prove that Allison's visions are stress related by sending descriptions out to law enforcement agencies. To his surprise, one of Allison's dreams bears an eerie similarity to a Texas homicide case involving a 17-year-old murder suspect. Guest stars Arliss Howard.
#2 - "Suspicions and Certainties" - Allison finally gets a call from her old boss, D.A. Devalos, who needs her help in selecting a jury who will return the death penalty for a twisted murderer/rapist. Initially, she is certain of her power to do good, but Allison suffers a crisis of confidence when she suspects she's put the wrong man on death row.
#3 - "A Couple of Choices" - Devalos introduces Allison to Detective Lee Scanlon who has been trying to track down the person he believes murdered his sister and her husband whose deaths were ruled a murder/suicide.
#4 - "Night of the Wolf" - Allison is convinced that a murder witness is giving a false report to a sketch artist.
#5 - "In Sickness and Adultery" - Allison suspects her husband of having an affair when a psychic tells her that a crisis involving a third person will occur.
#6 - "Coming Soon" - Allison is haunted by dreams of a serial killer who targets young women.
#7 - "Jump Start" - Allison is haunted by dreams of a young girl who commits suicide by jumping off a cliff.
#8 - "Lucky" - Allison dreams of her brother Michael being killed while serving in Afghanistan.
#9 - "Coded" - Allison's oldest daughter Ariel is having dreams of a young girl who looks just like her and is being held prisoner in a castle.
#10 - "The Other Side of the Tracks" - Allison's recurring dream involves two young boys who are trying to outrun a train - one makes it, the other one doesn't.
#11 - "I Married A Mind Reader" - Allison becomes obsessed over an old 60s sitcom starring a husband and wife team which was cancelled when the husband was convicted of killing the wife.
#12 - "A Priest, A Doctor and A Medium Walk Into The Execution Chamber" - When Allison witnesses the execution of a convicted drug lord whose girlfriend is murdered on the evening of his death, her powers to see the dead are put to the test. Allison also learns a tragic secret about the mother of Ariel's best friend.
#13 - "Being Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" - Allison is caught in a moral dilemma when she has to decide whether to help investigators build a case against a cocky airline pilot suspected of murdering his wife.
#14 - "In The Rough" - Allison finds herself in a difficult spot when she has information that could cause a murderer to go free. At home, Joe's mother comes to visit. Kathy Baker guest stars.
