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]
-
Elegantly filmed, Medium is quite eerie when it stays within the chilly purview of its star.
-
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]
-
It's an intriguing drama with an enjoyably creepy vibe. [2 Jan 2005]
-
'Medium' is manipulative filmmaking, but it works. [2 Jan 2005]
-
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]
-
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]
-
Medium is well-made, slick and, at times, achieves a sense of the macabre. [4 Jan 2005]
-
As silly as [it] sounds, the series is actually pretty good.
-
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]
-
The real problem for "Medium" is that the whole thing plays much creepier than necessary. [3 Jan 2005]
-
Though Allison is potentially worth watching as both a medium and a mother of three, someone needs to conjure up a stronger supporting cast if this show is to hold our interest.
