i can’t believe that it is already time to air the season finale of eli stone. in what is probably this season’s best dramedy, eli stone has managed to capture a soft spot for my heart. it feels a little ally mcbeal-ish with some of the insanity that comes about in the law offices, but at the end of the day eli stone takes hold of you and opens up a world of possibility.
yes, some of the storylines were a little hard to follow and watch early on, but the last few episodes where eli has really started to come to grips with his visions have really tapped into the potential of the show. sure, the silliness of george michael references is a little overboard. sure, the fact that every episode is named after a george michael song seems a little suspect, but this show is not a vehicle for george michael to kickstart his career. that’s just a happy consequence.
if you have not seen the show at all, go watch them. it is fantastic and worth every minute…even with commercials.
i have heard raving reviews of eli stone from the one friend (other than you) who watches it! i always meant to catch an episode but feared i would get lost coming in mid- (or i guess in this case, “end of”) season. i hope hulu will make the entire season available because i do want to watch this. thanks for the reminder. 🙂
I’m there, this program started slow but has steadily developed the story line to the point that I look forward to each new episode. Considering all the crap on television today it is refreshing to enjoy a program that always has a happy ending…would be wonderful if reality had the same result. A great “feel good” program.
