Medium - The Complete Second Season

They should fix the typos in the titles! Season Two has three typos: Instead of Docto',s Orders, it should be "Doctor's Orders." Instead of "Raising Can," it should be "Raising Cane."

Season 2 of "Medium" held up the high standard set in the shorter first season. Patricia Arquette, Jake Weber, Maria Lark, Sophia Vassilieva do excellent jobs involving us in the fairly commonplace dynamics of the family's home life. This is the center that grounds the series. Added to that is the psychic ability of Allison Du Bois to see the dead and see the future. The crime element as she works with Miguel Sandoval as District Attorney Devalos and David Cubitt as Detective Lee Scanlon make for a riveting series with amazing consistency. In Season 2, David Cubitt's contributions become more thoroughly impressive as his wit and humor come to the fore. Jake Weber also displays dry wit and exceptional comic timing. Maria Lark's delightful mugs continue to charm as the young Bridget. (I want to see Norah Jones' video of "Sunrise" in which Lark appears.)Episodes that I enjoy re-watching repeatedly include "Lucky In Love" where Allison's brother Michael falls in love with a ghost. "Judge, Jury & Executioner" is exceptionally well written as Allison tries to help the D.A. figure out how a ghost -- a man whose execution they witnessed -- could have committed a murder AFTER he died! Purely for its ambitiousness, "Still Life" that presents a 3-D format is groundbreaking, unlike anything else attempted on TV.The special features are interesting as we learn much of the backstage dynamics that go into producing the series. This is currently my favorite TV series. While I am riveted to Season 3, I am delighted to have Seasons 2 & 1 on DVD! Bravo![Note: On my Disc 6, "The Darkness Is Light Enough" will not play. Instead it goes into the season closer "Twice Upon A Time," which also plays when I press the button for that selection. I don't know if anyone else has experienced anything similar. -- Maybe it's time for a new DVD player!]

I love Medium. But one quibble with the Van Gogh episode. Van Gogh did not shoot himself in his little bedroom. He died in a corn field. And an interview with a woman who was a little girl at the time of his death suggests that two boys who were often out shooting in the same field had accidentally shot Van Gogh. The little girl didn't tell about this event until she was an old lady, due to the fact that she couldn't stand the grouchy painter & she was also loath to get the boys into trouble.Other than that, this series is fun to watch.WARNING: in the episode (season 2) which begins with baby Allison being forced into a neighbor child's clothing, there is a scene which includes a dog that was shot to death. It is graphic. The dog is panting his last breaths. I HATE this type of scene. I absolutely HATE when animals suffer. This is too harsh for this show. I am very sorry I saw this scene & will skip this episode. Please stop the cruelty to animals in TV shows & movies. It does NOT enhance anything about any story.

I just love this show and find it to be of the highest caliber all around. The writng is amazing. I find watching this show on dvd in order without commercials makes it like a continuous movie that never lacks quality.Season 1 was 5 stars and season 2 is even better. Of course most credit must be given to the amazing Patricia Arquette. The entire show is upon her shoulder and she carries it off as the Emmy winner she is. Her acting is so subtle and intense. She can convey so much by her mere looks and reactions. She has developed this character with true aplomb. And she makes all the drama very real and believable.There is not a single bad episode of this show and the supporting characters all hold their own as well. I highly recommend this show for high quality drama, acting and true at the edge of your seat suspense.A+++++

I love this show!! It's refreshing to see the family dynamics played throughout this series. Bridgette is absolutely adorable and really outdoes her character with precociousness and innocence. Ariel can come across as bratty in some scenes but always ends up showing her love for her family. I wish I could meet somebody like Joe who empowers his character by being patient, supportive, comforting and keeping everybody down to earth. Allison can be a little annoying when she gets carried away over a dream that means something different than what she thinks. Still she does a great job with her character. I'm only on Season 3 so it will be fun to see how Manuel, David (love them!) and all the other characters play out.

I would give this show a 5/5 star if it wasn't for the awful relationship between Allison and her husband Joe. It's almost painful to watch sometimes. I don't know if this is on purpose (the show portrays them to love each other very much but ya, all marriages have problems) or the writers don't know what a healthy and supportive relationship looks like (because all they do is fight. Literally every scene is a fight with them). I hate the husband and it kind of took away from the show for me. Otherwise, its awesome. .

Medium is a well crafted series. Great writing and amazing acting (from adults as well as the children) keeps me coming back for more. The premise of a clairvoyant, assisting law enforcement solve crimes is not an easy sell. Patricia Arquette is fascinating and believable as a flawed, yet loving mother with an unusual gift that makes her life interesting. Kudos to her t.v. husband, Jake Weber, for keeping the marriage and family together when things go awry (on a regular basis). Their attempts to parent 3 adorable daughters who have a touch of mom's gift, with laughter and genuine affection, add a surprisingly sweetness to an otherwise dark and sometimes sinister storyline.

great dvd

This is a reorder as the first copy I got was damaged later. Due to enjoying the show so much I felt I needed to replace it. I haven't been able to watch it yet but all the discs look in good shape

my mom likes this show

I love this series. Haven't seen them all yet, but eventually. Something to look forward to.
