Season 1 Review: The balancing act of working mom and psychic for hire, trying to be normal when you're not, is more interesting than the crime-solving. But how long can that be sustained? It's possible, in fact, that Medium would have worked better as a movie than as a series. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: Though the tragic-comedy tone is intriguing if a little askew in the pilot, the bigger problem looming ahead is the show's static formula. [3 Jan 2005]

Chicago TribuneSid SmithJul 16, 2013
Season 1 Review: As a crime drama, "Medium" has a long way to go to match the dramatic propulsion and seductive intricacy of the likes of "Without a Trace." The storytelling is flat, even predictable, whether you're psychic or not. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: The best that can be said about "Medium" is that it has a little more pep than similar shows and a sense of humor. [3 Jan 2005]

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydJul 16, 2013
Season 1 Review: It is, to be fair, watchable enough, if watched uncritically, and not without flashes of high craft; art and inspiration are a little beyond its grasp. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: There's a good cast at work here - but after previewing two episodes, "Medium" seems anything but well-done. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: Medium doesn't get much help from Arquette, who gives one of the season's stranger and more off-putting performances. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: It has a disappointing lack of suspense. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: Dull. Not terrible, but dull. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, Allison is such a passive heroine that it's hard to get too involved with her, and Arquette doesn't bring much life to the role. Moreover, the episodes made available are virtually devoid of supporting players or any workplace tension to augment her relatively staid (by TV standards, anyway) home life. [3 Jan 2005]
