    I love it, will continue watching and hope it doesn't get punted off TV like journeyman

    I love this show, will continue watching and hope it doesn't get punted off TV like journeyman. Mainly I think the characters are what draw me to it, they are interesting and a little more is revealed about them every week.

    Sure they may be cliché, but practically everything's been covered these days and for me it's down to the actors and how well they represent the characters. It's not simply a lawyer show, but a character study on how sometimes you can go one way and after a while you find that you've diverged from your initial direction. Sometimes it's hard to go back.

    I wish there was a clear villain in this show that Eli could bash heads against while he tries to put his life back on the right direction. I mean his firm's got a reputation for being evil and ruthless, but the partners all seem to be pushovers. In fact, Eli seems to be the most ruthless lawyer there so far.

    I watch very few shows, for example, I don't even watch Lost, and I hope this one lasts a few seasons as there is a lot of potential for the characters to develop.

    I can not believe ABC

    I seriously can NOT believe that ABC has made the WRONG choice to cancel this show, Eli Stone. They are willing to keep smut and soap operas, but when it comes to a show that has taste, talent, excitement, clean living and DECENCY, they look the other way! Can someone PLEASE explain the logic in this Disastrous move? I am at the point where I can seriously choose to no longer watch ABC all together. I have already stopped watching the news, and now THIS? If another network is smart, they will pick up this show and FAST! What's next? Will ABC bring on the Jerry Springer show? I AM DISGUSTED!!! Is there any decency left in this world?

    Really Enjoyed It

    Loved the music, the heart and the optimism of the show. The long line of programs that depend on shock, absurdity and the exploitation of emotionally damaged individuals as their source of holding an audience's attention have run the gamit and tanked - for me anyway. This was very refreshing, hopeful and heartwarming. And man, gotta love Jonny Lee Miller's eyes (this is Laura not Phil speaking here). He's got the look. And I can't wait to see the next episode. Man - ten lines - well, I've seen Jonny in several other projects and always felt he was just this far away from making it big. I think Eli Stone could be the vehicle that finally does it for him. Good luck!

    The best show I have seen in last ten years

    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.

    Liked it

    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.

    • Trivia
      After the cancellation of the show, creator and executive producer Marc Guggenheim revealed in an interview what they had been planning for the future of the characters. On Eli the Prophet: "Eli gets a very happy ending. Basically the overall plan for the show was that with each season, Eli's profile would get bigger and bigger, until by the end of the series, he would be talking to crowds of thousands of people. His profile would grow until he actually found it difficult to practice law because he had so much notoriety. Then the show was going to shift from Eli being a lawyer to being more of an active prophet. One of the things we always said on the show was Abraham Lincoln was a prophet, Martin Luther King Jr. was a prophet, Gandhi was a prophet. All three people met premature ends. As Eli's profile grew, the danger grew to him as well."
