Medium - The Complete First Season

Amazon was the only channel that brought this great series back. I have an original full set of CDs but they’re in.storage. You can purchase one season at a time or buy them all together. So far every great movie or TV series I’ve purchased are all in “HD” and I enjoy watching them in a 50” 4K Smart TV a the series and movies look Phenomenal with today’s technology. Evan M M

It's reasonably well-done, with reasonably good acting. This show will divide people for one reason: There's a LOT of stuff going on that has nothing to do with the crimes and their solutions. Family dynamics, for one thing.Personally, I swing the other way; gimme plot without boatloads of personal stuff. I'm certain other people disagree, and that's OK. If we all liked the same things, we'd be living in a Legos(c) movie.So, if half a show being devoted to things other than crimes and solving them is the kind of thing you like, watch it. I couldn't.

"The Medium" instantly became my favorite show on television in 2005. I usually am fascinated by shows with elements of the paranormal, which tuned me in. However, it is the realism of the family relationship that is most fascinating. Patricia Arquette who was in "Ed Wood" with Johnny Depp plays Alison DuBois. Her Emmy win for Best Actress in a drama attests to her standing within the industry, but the on-screen chemistry with Jake Weber who was in "Meet Joe Black" and plays her husband Joe is riveting. They fight, spat, try to mask conflict in front of their kids, juggle an impossible number of real-life tasks, and have layers of humor and romance that make this seem like a real family that loves each other and deals with the unusual circumstances of Alison's psychic ability. I found after watching the initial show that when the reruns would show, I still wanted to watch them over episodes of CSI Miami that I had not seen. When I bought the DVD, I was hoping there might have been an episode I'd missed, but I'd seen them all between NBC & Lifetime reruns several times. I'm impressed by how entrancing each episode is and the quality of the writing. Alison's dreams are like clues that she struggles to fit together. What impresses me about Alison is that she sincerely struggles to do the right thing. In a world of violence, it's often hard to be clear which way the moral compass points. In the episode "In Sickness & Adultery" her tip places her on the witness stand with an unethical hostile prosecutor that seeks to embarrass her. As she comes back that he cheated to pass his law exams and is cheating on his wife, she finds that her best defense is the truth. The two older daughters are also jewels. Maria Lark as Bridget often has my entire family in stitches with her offbeat humor like shouting at her mom who wakes screaming from a bad dream, "Mom, please stop doing that!" Sofia Vassilieva as the older Aerial keeps the arguments at the breakfast table bouncing. David Cubitt who plays the reoccurring role of Detective Lee Scanlon also achieves amazing chemistry with Arquette. Miguel Sandoval as the district attorney Manuel Duvalos has such a focused calmness that he centers the crime portion of the show. (Perhaps we will sometime see more about his family.) While it's hard to pick my favorite first season episode, the complex plot of "A Priest, A Doctor & Medium Walk into an Execution Chamber" is a jewel, with the police chasing a ghost who apparently has just committed murder. The DVD commentaries and introduction to the real-life Alison DuBois really give excellent background for fans of the show. This is one show that reaches the level of art for me. Its excellence will make it memorable for a long time & this DVD collection a valuable addition to an entertainment collection. Bravo!

I loved watching this whole entire series. I am going to rewatch it. The family is more like a realistic family with everyday problems and then the main character has to figure out how she can help with her ability.

Yaaaaaay!! This is one of my all-time favorite TV dramas! To those who are skeptical, this stuff is real (variations of this type of "Gift" run in my family!) and the storyline of Allison DuBois is very interesting. Eventually though, the series starts to show how the demands of Allison's gifts & her work with the DAs office become very hard on Allison's Husband. You can easily see by late in Season-1, that he is clearly being taken for granted by Allison (he's always getting stuck with the kids & there's often a lack of quality-time between them--which would be hard on any marriage). This selfishness of Allison's leads to marital problems between them, but fortunately, by the start of Season-2, things improve nicely because Allison finally got the message by the end of Season-1 & started putting her marriage & family in proper perspective again.While there are times where I felt sorry for Allison's husband in the later part of Season-1, the storylines continuing to revolve around Allison's entire family still keeps the series fresh & realistic, like you're living in the house with them too as you observe their daily interactions with one another. It's like constantly having an inside look at BOTH Allison's personal life as well as the hard work she does to help those deceased individuals & their loved ones find closure.I've been anxiously waiting for Amazon Prime to get this for well-over a year now and I'm sooo glad it's finally here! =D I watched all 7-seasons & will gladly watch them again on Amazon Prime until I can buy the entire series on DVD! But I love this show so much, that I'll probably wear out the discs!
