Season 1 Review: You may groan at the premise -- a young woman helps the police solve crimes through use of her psychic intuition -- but it's brought off with so much storytelling skill and so few voguish gimmicks that it might as well be the first show of its kind. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: NBC's arresting Medium, debuting Monday, exploits a creepy premise for a few good shocks. What's more surprising is that the drama excels at tongue-in-cheek humor. [2 Jan 2005]

Detroit Free PressMike DuffyJul 16, 2013
Season 1 Review: Within the context of an overly familiar, murder-saturated genre, talented "Medium" creator Glenn Gordon Caron ("Moonlighting") manages to find some emotionally rich variations on the formula, assisted by Patricia Arquette's appealing performance as a suburban, crime-solving mom who sees dead people. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: We expect sharp writing from Caron. "Medium" is almost too glib at times. What makes the suspension of disbelief easy is the casting. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: Medium is well-made, slick and, at times, achieves a sense of the macabre. [4 Jan 2005]

Dallas Morning NewsManuel MendozaJul 16, 2013
Season 1 Review: The Medium pilot isn't as consistently stylish as Mr. Caron's other work, and some of the action strains credibility in scenes that have nothing to do with the supernatural. [3 Jan 2005]

Season 1 Review: The real problem for "Medium" is that the whole thing plays much creepier than necessary. [3 Jan 2005]
