It's not a coincidence that Medium represents not only Glen Gordon Caron's best TV work since Moonlighting but also his most successful siege on the Nielsen ratings since the 1980s heyday of the latter show. In an interview included in this five-disc set (which contain all 16 episodes from the first season, in addition to bountiful bonus features), the writer-director-producer confides that the series was partly inspired by films like Something Wild and Married to the Mob, in which director Jonathan Demme achieved a balance of what Caron calls "the serious and the frivolous." Medium also contains elements of Moonlighting and another Caron creation,1999's underrated Now and Again; there are echoes of The Sentinel and The Dead Zone as well, not to mention a hefty dose of The Sixth Sense. So while it's not what you'd call unique (then again, what on TV is?), Medium nevertheless provides engaging, rewarding entertainment.
Patricia Arquette stars as Allison DuBois, whose skills as both a medium (i.e., she sees dead people) and a psychic (she can fairly accurately read minds and predict future events) make her an invaluable help to the Phoenix district attorney (Miguel Sandoval). But like most characters possessed of extraordinary powers, Allison isn't entirely comfortable in her own skin; plagued by awful nightmares (one of which kicks off every episode), she tends to become cranky and depressed, has a hint of a drinking problem, and regularly gets into it with her supportive but skeptical husband, Joe (Jake Weber). Those are the very characteristics that make the show consistently watchable. Although one might wish that she would find herself in real danger more often as she deals with everything from necrophiliac serial killers and air crashes to ghosts and child molesters, Caron focuses less on special effects and police procedure than on Allison's humanity, including her efforts to balance work and family responsibilities (sub-plots involving her young daughters are usually effective, if sometimes a bit too cute). It's the stories and the writing that make Medium work; Caron, in fact, is the show's real star. Well over an hour's worth of bonus features include deleted scenes, commentary on some episodes, a couple of "making of" featurettes, and a look at the real-life Allison DuBois, whose powers are apparently every bit as impressive as her fictional counterpart's. --Sam Graham

My wife is a HUGE fan of Medium. When Amazon ran a sale on TV show DVD sets a few weeks ago, I knew this would be a great gift for her. She has enjoyed watching the episodes so much, I will be buying the second season for her soon, even if it is not on sale. There are some nice special features on the disks - commentaries, alternate pilot episode, etc. - but she was just happy to have the episodes. If there is any complaint about the set, it is that the menus are not the easiest to navigate ... Read More

Great drama, crime solving, and family issues wrapped up in one great package. Every actor, actress and child actor is great. Based on the true life medium/psychic Allison Dubois, this tv series grabs you and keeps you interested to the last episode. Allison must learn to keep her family together, help put ghosts to rest, work diligently with the D.A.'s office and keep her sanity 24/7 in one of the best shows on TV. Filled with great bonus material on how the tv series started, interviews with real ... Read More

If you love Ghost Whisperer your going to love Medium!! I just started watching Medium a couple of years ago and now I'm hooked! I'm purchasing all the past seasons to get caught up.

Nowhere near as good as its counterpart, Ghost Whisperer. Patricia Arquette's acting skills are seriously lacking. There were several occasions that I thought it was a joke and realized that it was really her acting. I love the premises of the show but we spend too much time watching Allison and Joe argue in the bedroom. EVERY EPISODE. Not to mention that Jake Weber has many scenes where he has to walk around in his boxers, showing EXACTLY what he is packing every time. Instead of watching something ... Read More
