Eli Stone

I am so amazed by this show, it is not flashy, scary, questionable, or something that you will enjoy today and forget about it next day. This show defines our life, and it relates to the viewers so closely. I love the Eli Character and his brother Nathan. I haven't seen this clean enjoyable very family oriented TV show in last several years. I watch TV shows very often, such as heroes, lost, Fringe, 24 but Eli Stones just made me wonder and excited all the time. I never miss the episode. Every time I watch this show, more and more I love it. I hope ABC will keep up the good work and make more awesome episodes and season. I love this show. This is the best show I have seen in last 10 years.

OK I missed the first episode but here's what I got--Lawyer Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller) starts seeing and hearing people singing music which all seem to help him at particular points in his life. The problem is no one else sees or hears them. He thinks he's dying of a brain aneurysm (which killed his father) but others think he may be a prophet. In any case it's screwing up his work and love life. What to do? This reminds me of "Cop Rock" (which only lasted 4 months). That was a cop show where people just broke out into song and dance and nobody saw it as strange. I loved the show but it bombed badly. That was back in 1990--people weren't ready for it then--maybe they will be now.

This show has interesting characters, tight scripts (judging from the one episode I've seen), great music and singing. The cast is going full force too. Miller manges to completely cover his English accent and is certainly very attractive. Loretta Devine as his assistant casually tosses insults left and right in a delightful way. Victor Garber is strangely muted as Stone's boss (but that may change). This isn't for everyone but I thought it was fun, well-made and entertaining. Worth seeing.

My children and I can't handle staying up 'til 10 p.m. EST to catch it, so we tape it, faithfully, every week and watch during the lag time on Friday evenings. I haven't found any of the topics covered so far to be over-done, and they could easily have been. Nor have I found that the usual ABC treatment has kicked in-the formulaic approach to programming that began in the late 70's, worked and simply won't die the "passe" death it deserves. The fact that the show hasn't served up blatant sexuality makes it easier for me to watch with my 12 and almost 11 year old than any other series on network t.v. I hope the show goes on for years to come! We are all over-the-moon that the show has been picked up for a 2nd season and hope there will be plenty more to come. If you prefer the shows with 3 kids (one of whom is dimmer than a light bulb, one precocious tyke and one hyper-intelligent) then this show is most assuredly not going to be your cup of tea...leave it for the rest of us, please!

It is 2019 and because of degenerative illness that leaves me able to do little else than watch, I am only now learning about this show. Of course one more person to watch this series back then would not have saved it ratings wise, especially since it seems to have fallen victim to a conspiracy of ignorance and greed. But having seen it I feel strongly enough that I should put my two cents in.

It is quite good, in fact much better than many shows that are currently on and sadly renewed every year. They are bringing so many shows back, and with JLMiller's Elementary having just ended a successful 8-year run, they should relaunch this one. Minus the fiancee.

It has everything everyone looks for in a series, very good acting, direction, writing, comic timing, etc, etc, even music that remains very engaging after all this time. But more than all that, it has substance.

I'm not much of a TV watcher, I prefer to read most of the time, but I never miss an episode of Eli Stone. I look forward to watching it every week. I enjoy the depth of the characters and the issues, and find the show interesting and unpredictable. The Eli Stone character is unique, passionate about his causes, and fights for what he believes in. I also love the Maggie character, she's so cute and sweet with a compassionate and giving heart. I wonder if they will have a romance on the show? I also enjoy the other lawyers on the show, and it would not be the same without Patty the assistant, she's great.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!
