This is a fantastic show. Makes you laugh out loud in some points and feel so in touch with the characters feelings the next. A truly amazing show - unique! It's humour and plot lines are great and the characters just keep you wanting more. The visions are funny and yet thought provoking. Your championing Eli all the time!


3 out of 5 stars The Lawyer with a Vision - or Twenty   September 2, 2008
  5 out of 6 found this review helpful

Lawyer Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller) has it all. He's on the fast track to become a partner at his law firm. He is engaged to the beautiful Taylor Wethersby (Natasha Henstridge) who just happens to be his boss Jordan's (Victor Garber) daughter. About the only problem in his life is that his assistant Patti (Loretta Devine) doesn't like Taylor.br /br /But then the visions start. First, it's George Michael (in the first of several cameos) singing in his living room. But soon they include a war zone, a beach in the men's room, and a dragon in down town San Francisco. Not to mention just about everyone he knows breaking out into song at the worst times, like in the courtroom.br /br /It's at that point that his brother Nate (Matt Letscher) diagnoses a hereditary brain aneurism. They are the reason for these visions. As much as he tries to get rid of them, his acupuncturist Dr. Chen (James Saito) thinks they may be prophetic in nature. And sure enough, they do seem to be helping him pick and win cases. What will he do with his new found moral compass? Can he get the aneurism operated on? Or will that mean his death?br /br /I didn't have much faith in this show, but tuned in for the premier to see just how the show would handle things. I was surprisingly hooked and tuned in each week to see how the story would progress. And make no mistake about it, there are on going plots here involving the characters and their relationships, especially two love triangles and Eli's status in the firm thanks to his new choices in cases. And I certainly can't fault the acting. Everyone pulls me in every week.br /br /The downfall of the show is the politics it tries to bring into the mix. Due to Eli's new ethics, he seems to lean toward cases that involve controversial topics. While some don't seem to overwhelm the rest of the show, every so often they bring out a liberal cause and champion it to the expense of storytelling. The worst offender was the episode against abstinence education, which does little more than create and defeat straw men in the least entertaining way possible. (Heck, it made Jordan act completely out of character.) On the other hand, a very strong case is made against right to die as well. An attempt to be balanced?br /br /When the show isn't preaching, it is a highly entertaining hour of television. When it does decide to preach, it becomes painful to watch. I do intend to see where the show goes in the up coming season. Personally, I would probably rent this one before buying.
