Based on the true story of research medium Allison DuBois comes a chilling drama. The show stars a young wife and mother who, since childhood, has been struggling to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people.
DuBois (Patricia Arquette), a strong-willed young mother of three, devoted wife and law student, begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams and read peoples' thoughts.
Basically, Patricia Arquette sees what others can't in NBC's drama, 'Medium,' and her most recent visions took on an added intensity in a haunting 3-D episode last Monday. When Allison encountered the work of a popular artist, disturbing 3-D images emerged, and she uncovered the man's most deadly secret.
Arquette turns to her husband, an aerospace engineer, for support in several episodes. Joe (Jake Weber) tries to help Arquette convince the doubters in the criminal justice system that her psychic abilities can give them the upper hand in solving some of the most violent mysteries from behind the grave. Her dreams often give her clues to the whereabouts of missing people and by touching someone, she often gets to see beneath the facade into the person's soul.
The show starring Patricia Arquette, Jake Weber, Miguel Sandoval, Sofia Vassilieva, Maria Lark and David Cubitt, which has been referred to as "Hollywood's Jesus," is a stylish show with witty dialogue and a well-written plot.
