Product Description:
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.Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as Ariel and Bridgette the two eldest DuBois children. This season David Cubitt ( 10.5 ) becomes a series regular in the role of Detective Lee Scanlon.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097360789348 Manufacturer No: 078934

Season Two of NBC-TV's hit series Medium finds the show gradually evolving, and while the changes aren't all for the better, the combination of star Patricia Arquette, creator-executive producer Glen Gordon Caron, and the other contributors still makes for entertaining viewing. As Allison DuBois, whose skills as both a medium and psychic make her indispensable to Phoenix district attorney Manuel Devalos (Miguel Sandoval), Arquette, a 2005 Emmy winner, is still at center stage. It is her visions of murderers, serial killers, child abductors, and such that help solve the show's various crimes; the fact that these visions (which usually arrive via some very unsettling nightmares) can be ambiguous and open to misinterpretation, resulting in bizarre, embarrassing behavior on Allison's part, remains an integral part of the show's appeal.
The 22 Season Two episodes (on six discs) contain plenty of genuinely gripping, even shocking moments, but Caron (who also wrote and directed some episodes) clearly wants to focus increasingly on Allison's personal and home life. That's a mixed blessing. Although Medium still has its share of violence and shocking moments, it has become a little more tame, as frequent scenes between squabbling daughters Ariel (Sofia Vassilieva) and Bridgette (Maria Lark), while mostly credible, tend to undermine its dramatic effect. On the other hand, the struggles of Joe DuBois (Jake Weber), Allison's husband, to hold it together when the demands of her gig or the sheer weirdness of what's in her head threaten to take over are very well done; he's become an increasingly important character, there to ground her when her emotions and her visions intertwine and conflict. Best of all are episodes in which Allison's family and work are both in play, like "Judge, Jury & Executioner," in which Joe serves as a juror on a case in which Allison is involved, or "Doctor's Orders," which finds Ariel pursued by the ghost of a serial killer from the previous season.
Of course, any TV show helmed by Caron (who created both the popular Moonlighting and the underrated Now and Again) will have its share of inspired ideas and eccentric touches (not to mention guest stars like David Carradine and co-executive producer Kelsey Grammer). Thus we have an "origin" episode ("Sweet Dreams"), a story in which Allison's dream sequence lasts for the entire first act ("Time Out of Mind"), and another ("Knowing Her") offering insight into Det. Scanlon's (David Cubitt) past. In "The Song Remains the Same" Allison is bedeviled by Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," which she literally can't get out of head; after five or six non-stop, high volume minutes, you'll never want to hear it again. And while "Still Life 3-D" is a pretty cool idea, let's face it: those cardboard 3-D glasses (two pairs come in the box set) are still hokey as all get out. Generous bonus features include commentary on select episodes, a mini-doc about the making of Season Two, and considerably more. --Sam Graham

Medium continues pouring out high quality episodes. Episodes start to bring out some of Allison's daughter's powers. Not one single episode sticks out, they are all well made. The final episode shows promises of things to happen in the third season. Some great special features are also available in this season box set.

Great for your reality tv DVD collection. If you are a Medium fan you love this.

The reason I am giving this DVD collection a low rating is, well because though I am fan of the series, being hearing impaired, it is quite annoying to repeat multiple times segments to 'hear' what is being said.
You'd think with the amount of money they spend on making this a top notch show, would it kill them to remember not everyone has perfect hearing...or maybe we should be 'sensitive' enough to 'know what the characters are saying!!!'
Maybe for season Four they'll ... Read More

I sat like glued to the sofa watching the first season of this show on DVD. Then came a long wait for the second season to be available in Norway. I got to the point where I was thinking that I rather just order it from Amazon and pay the extra toll, but then the show popped up in the shelf and it was whit much anticipation I took it home to watch it.
I was disappointed. Now do not get me wrong, the show was fine. But it was not nearly as good as the first season. Where I whit season 1 had ... Read More
