You may have watched Medium back in the day on both NBC & CBS from 2005–2011, you may not have. But for those who are big fans (including this author who discovered it late 2023 and is now a full fledged Medium addict) this show had everything going for it: A perfect cast, lovable characters who were blessed with great writing and character development, compelling mysteries that consistently delivers clever twists and thrills, and a high quality that was sustained throughout all seven years.

Brief synopsis:

The series stars Patricia Arquette as Allison DuBois, a medium employed as a consultant for the Phoenix, Arizona, district attorney’s office, in fictional “Mariposa County” (Phoenix is actually in Maricopa County). Allison and her husband Joe (Jake Weber) are the parents of three daughters (Sofia Vassilieva, Feodor Lark, and Madison and Miranda Carabello), all of whom inherited Allison’s gift. The show was initially based on the experiences of medium Allison DuBois, who claims she has worked with law enforcement agencies across the country in criminal investigations.
