Movie Reviews of Medium - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Excellent Series, Well-Done DVD Set
Summary: 5 Stars
Others have done a good job of reviewing the show concept --- so I'll just recap briefly. Based in part on the life experiences of a woman named Allison Dubois, this series features Patricia Arquette in an Emmy award-winning portrayal as a psychic-medium. As she comes to grips with her talents in this area, she helps the Phoenix district attorney with a variety of cases, but also wrestles complicated moral issues and deals with her at-home situation. She has three daughters and a husband who's an engineer, but is learning to accept the new complications that her work brings.
Being a fan of series such as "Now and Again" (which was created and written in large part by the same people involved with this) and "Tru Calilng," I immediately tuned into and clicked with this series. While I too possess a logical mind, oriented somewhat towards engineering and computer-programming, my mind is open to these ideas, and in any case, I enjoy a well-written and acted series.
If you're interested in this DVD, there's a good chance you've already seen the first season or at least some of it and know all about the program. So you may be wondering about the special features on this DVD set. I can definitely say they're awesome and here's a rundown of what you'll find:
- Extended version of Pilot --- Include several minutes of additional material seamlessly reintegrated into the show pilot. Most noteable here is a meal-time conversation between Allison and Captain Push that wasn't seen in the original.
- Deleted scenes for several episodes --- As with most good television programs, these scenes weren't deleted necessaarily because there was anything wrong with them. They just needed to cut them for time and they weren't absolutely essential to the plot. Most of these are fairly short --- about thirty seconds to a minute.
- Optional commentary --- cast and crew commentaries for several of the season's noteable episodes. Unlike some DVD commentaries, these generally make for interesting listening.
- The Making of "Medium" --- Goes over casting, creation, and other noteables.
- The Story of "Medium" --- Digs into the show story elements, also touches on some of that discussed in the "making-of."
- Interpreting Allison Dubois --- Discusses the issues of the characters life --- family and moral.
- The Real Allison Dubois --- A profile of the the real person on which the character is based. If you've read her book, then some of this a refresher, but there's some interesting anecdotes in here as well that will probably be new to you.
- Gag Reel --- A pretty standard gag reel featuring flubbed lines, etc. Generally amusing and light-hearted. Around ten minutes long.
- TV Spots --- The original TV promotional spots seen on NBC to promote the premire/series. A nice inclusion.
Overall, this is a great set for fans of the program. And if you've never seen it before, this is your chance to get caught up.
