ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Patricia Arquette, Miguel Sandoval, Sofia Vassilieva, Maria Lark, David Cubitt, Jake Weber

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

Vaguely based on a real life clairvoyant who works with the police Medium stars Patricia Arquette as Allison Du Bois, a suburban mother of three who starts hearing dead people, when she learns that the spirits she is communicating with are giving her details about murders she confides in her boss (Sandoval) who just happens to be a DA. Handily for Allison her daughters Bridget and Ariel also appear to have the 

"gift" and can often help out when mother is searching for answers. 

Created by the legendary Glenn Gordon Caron (he of Moonlighting fame) Medium is definitely on the formula side of television but is always entertaining, offering up an intriguing spin on the over worked detective genre. Each of the 16 episodes in this four disc box set from Paramount (which contains the whole of the first season) opens with Allison suffering a nightmare that obviously links to the crime in the episode and there are some pretty gruesome crimes on display too from necrophiliac serial killers to a psychopathic doctor. 

One of the major plus points of the show is (apart from some typically light hearted Caron touches that help alleviate the sometimes too dark mood) that Allison DuBois is never comfortable with her gift, in 

 

fact quite often she feels it is tearing her apart and she hates the fact that her home life and her working life cannot be separated. Something that also affects her relationship with her husband who is never 100% sure of his wife's skills. 

If you like this sort of this you'll like it a lot and you certainly don't need to be a believer of psychic phenomena to enjoy it.
