Medium - The Fourth Season

Buy This Item Medium - The Fourth Season by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $41.99  on 11-14-2008     Medium is the best show on television. The production values, writing and amazing cast manage to mesmerize, thought provoke and terrify with tales that are very unique and intelligent. <br /> <br />The cast led by the amazing Patricia Arquette expands this year and only for the better. The story line since season one plays like a continuous movie. There are stories each week but underneath is a continuous story that evolves and grabs the viewer. <br /> <br />Patricia Arquette is the ultimate example of how great it is when a film actress brings their talents to tv. She carries this show totally on her shoulder and her performance is so real and complex one can't help but watch with amazement. <br /> <br />Most shows on network tv are formulaic and predictable. Hospital shows that are more about romance are a dime a dozen. This show in a very realistic way shows a very believable family and all they go through as well as the professions of the characters with the sasme realism. <br /> <br />It really bothers me when people give a low review based on Amazon and their performance or the writers strike affecting the # of episodes or even the price. Reviews here should be based soley on the dvd set of medium - Season 4 and that rates a definite 5 stars. I can't wait for September and Season 5. <br /> <br /> Reader Reviews Medium is a great show, and this fourth season did have some excellent episodes. Unfortunately, the writer's strike split this season up on air and ended up cutting it rather short. In addition, the presence of Sofia Vassilieva (aka Ariel) in this season was mostly off-camera, with the writers/directors only half-handedly trying to explain her absence. In one episode, we see none of the daughters at all - Allison calls them for breakfast; they don't show up before the scene cuts away. It seemed like just kind of an odd, slumped season that no doubt was pushed around by the strike and the inevitable off-set needs of teenage actresses. That being said, I would still recommend the set - I have all the others because it is one of the most well-acted and directed (though not always written) series on television - just wait until it goes on sale.
