Conclusion of Eli Stone

We don't watch much TV here at the Martin household but when an outstanding show hits the airwaves, we are devout. Eli Stone is a story of a lawyer with visions that seem to guide him throughout life (mostly helping with his cases). As weird and sacrilegious as the series may sound it's the most wholesome show I've seen in a long time. It was very well written, casted, and directed. The show has been canceled and I'm assuming it's because it was not a reality show where Joe the Plumber's life is falling to pieces and America gets to watch. Gratefully the SciFi channel in the UK was able to pick up the remaining four episodes and air them to give us some closure. It was probably the best closing to a TV series I have ever seen. In the final episode Eli Stone gets to talk to his father (who died when he was young) and learn more of God's plan for us. Everything is a test!

Eli Stone Season 1 Episode 1

With the writers strike happening I thought we would be watching reruns for the rest of our lives. I'm not a fan of television but if I hear of a show that has tickled every critic pink, I will give it a shot. Eli Stone was refreshingly original. Its about a lawyer who is seeing things made up by his mind. With this being the pilot it was expected that they would bring someone very recognizable to the show. George Michael singing "faith" over and over again. My one criticism for this show is they keep eluding to Eli as a Prophet. Leave that out, please. Jonny Lee Miller is Eli Stone. You may recognize him from Hackers or Mansfield Park. I rather enjoyed this first episode and plan on giving it a shot in the future. This show is a definite must see, at least once. Plus, it looks great in High Def.
