Editor's Note
Based on the book DON'T KISS THEM GOODBYE by real-life psychic investigator Allison DuBois, NBC's popular television series MEDIUM blends crime-drama with the supernatural for a smart and chilling spin on the detective genre. Patricia Arquette (TRUE ROMANCE, STIGMATA) stars as a fictionalized version of DuBois, a family woman and aspiring lawyer who has been haunted all her life by strange visions and dreams. When she realizes she has the capacity to communicate with the dead, Allison puts her unique skills to work for a sympathetic district attorney (Miguel Sandoval) while depending on her husband (Jake Weber) and two daughters (Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark) for moral support. Dark, moody, and creatively original, the series' second season is presented in its entirety with this collection of episodes.

Right from the start, it's clear that the creators of Medium are treading their own ground, not content to go where audiences expect them to go. One half of the series is a police procedural, in which Allison and her law enforcement cohorts examine crime scenes and track down vicious killers. The other half is devoted to Allison's home life...Although Arquette is the driving force in the performance department - she appears in almost every scene - the supporting cast is just as good. Jake Weber shows a lot of wit and charm as the often-beleaguered husband. Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark both come across as likeable, non-annoying kids, and Lark gets away with some of the show's funniest lines. - Mac McEntire
