About the Show

August 2010

MEDIUM

MEDIUM is a drama inspired by the real-life story of research medium Allison Dubois, an extraordinary young wife and mother who, since childhood, has struggled to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people.  Emmy Award winner Patricia Arquette stars as Dubois, a strong-willed, devoted young wife and mother of three girls who has gradually come to grips with her extraordinary ability to talk to dead people, see current events and the future through her dreams and read people's thoughts.  Dubois works as a consultant to D.A. Manuel Devalos, using her psychic abilities to solve violent and horrifying crimes that baffle Phoenix police and others within the criminal justice system.  Assisting her crime-solving endeavors is Detective Lee Scanlon, her longtime ally in the local police department who recently wed his longtime love and mother of his baby daughter.  Meanwhile, at home, Dubois' husband Joe, an aerospace engineer, is a supportive husband and father who is also busy keeping tabs on his eccentric-yet-brilliant boss.  Their daughters, Ariel, Bridgette and Marie all seem to have inherited their mother's abilities to varying, expanding degrees, powers that have gotten stronger as the girls have gotten older.
