If someone asked me what is your all time favorite TV series? i'll simply say Medium.Now a lot of people might think that i'm overrating this show and they are a better crime series such as: CSi, NCIS, Bones etc. but what is so special about this show is the whole package in a way none of all these series bring it to the audience.The first thing ( which is the strongest thing) is the family life of medium i dare anyone to give me any series (a long side with Friends) that makes you feel that you know this family, that you feel most of the time that you are living with them. and the whole family is likable Alison and joe are perhaps the best couple I've ever seen in my whole life, and it doesn't mean that the are perfect the have ups and downs, fights and a lot of times they are out of money, but nevertheless the continue to live as a happy family. Also all of Alison daughter are likable. Ariel is so sweet and intelligent, Marie is so innocent,and Bridgette is the soul of the whole show she is so cute so intelligent and walks and talks as she was an old person. The second thing that was so special was they way of the crime, most of crime show is to identical by not knowing the killer and then the investigation method tell at the end you discover the whole thing, but in medium it is different the brought a new thing which is knowing the truth by psychic lady that helps the police to get the bad guys although she have no experience in crime scenes.Even when you goes out of the dubois family you feel the same way of the supporting cast : Miguel Sandoval (Alison boss) which delivered one of his best performance till this date. David Cubitt also gave us a very nice performance of the ideal Detective, even when it comes between the justice and his own brother he choose the justice immediately.The only thing the bothered me in the whole show is the final episode , i mean what they where thinking when they killed the husband the made the show so stupid and the way that Alison died was very bad and annoying (at least they could gave us a nice ending not a bad one!!!) At the end it was and still a great TV show with great cast, a show that is focusing on everything from A to Z, and brings to the audience the suspense, horror, love, some how an ideal family life that everyone of us hoped to have.

It's been more than ten years since the first episode of 'Medium' aired. It was one of my favorite shows - a mixture of horror, crime, and warm family drama. Today, watching the series on amazon instant video, the series is just as entertaining as it was when my kids and I first watched it. The parents in the drama, played by Jake Weber and Patricia Arquette, are reasons for the show's success, along with excellent scripts and plot lines. They interact in a way that reeks of verisimilitude and what we all HOPE could be marital communications. Joe is a little bit too adoring of his wife, Alison du Bois. Alison is a little too perfect a mom, rarely truly losing her temper with her three girls. Irritated, maybe, angry, not much. Still, they talk to each other like real people with jobs and housework and kids who need to be driven to school. This is refreshing.The episodes are built around crimes that make a person cringe. Pedophilia, kidnappings, rape. Murder is common, but cannibalism even makes an appearance. Every episode features lots of dreaming. Lots of dreams. Very cleverly done, very smart, very creative. But beware: some of the stories are moving and frightening and tragic, so your own dreams might not be so pleasant if you are binge-watching 'Medium.'An excellent dramatic series.

OMG .. Patricia Arquette is sooo bad at acting. Bad crying scenes, bad facial expressions, bad acting, bad voice!! OMG!!If this was cast with someone with some talent it would have been great. Jake Webber is superb and so are all the kids and all the side actors. She is soo soo soo fake .. am I the only one who thinks so? Common ... didn't the producers realize this?? I mean have you seen that woman start to cry?? I just stop the TV .. take a deep breath and fast forward the crying scene every time ... it is so annoying. The story line is superb and all the supporting actors are great!!. This woman should NEVER act again .. she is that bad!! she got worse over the seasons as well. I know that the story is supposed to support her intuition ... but every time she tries to convince about something I just want to run away and never look at the show. Please recast this woman with someone with even minimal talent and have medium show again. I will NEVER ever put myself through the torture watching Patricia Arquette again ... I just loved the story line and Jake Webber so much that I suffered through Medium even with this freaking annoying woman!!!

I've been watching all of the episodes on Netflix. I have to say that although she stands up to people, she is by no means a strong character. Every dream she has, she wakes up screaming or startled - you'd think that after awhile, she'd get use to the dreams without having to wake up the police force, other people, and her husband. She throws temper tantrums when people won't listen to her, and she seems to be self-centered with a smug sense of self-importance. She's definitely a drama queen and she doesn't care whom she drags down with her.Her husband is very supportive as well as her children. I don't find her as amazing as those on the program. She is very derogative to those who don't believe or won't listen to her.
