  • Dexter Casts Jonny Lee Miller

    ... It's hard to imagine Showtime's Dexter getting any better, but the show had done gone and done it again. The murderous series has added Jonny Lee Miller, aka Trainspotting's Sickboy and Eli Stone, to its cast. He'll play a… more

  • I thought this wasn't that great of a show, I really only watched it for that Lost commercial which wasn't really that great.

    I like the fact he did the right thing, but as you can see from the above review there are people who think that all corporations are like that, and that's because that's how networks like ABC portay them. I'm not sticking up for them because lets face it there are alot of bad corporations but not all are like that and I'm not another mindless person who lets Hollywood actors who can't control their lives tell me how to think about mine. Hey that's just me, I respect other opinons that is there opinions. I'm sure some will report this only because they don't agree with me. I also wasn't too happy about having the song "faith" by George Michael stuck in my head either. I will give it another shot but I can't see this being a show I would watch on a regular basis.moreless

  • a uplifting show that features musical numbers, aneurysms, acupuncture, and lots of lawyers.

    "Perfect"
    the first thing that got me hooked were the musical numbers. they were so vibrant and out of place in a lawyer's world. seeing "jack bristo" (the dad in alias) crooning was a hilarious sight. dr. chen's character was a funny jab at chinese stereotypes. as i watched it more and more i got insanely hooked. the bad part was knowing it was cancelled when i started watching. it was an amazing 26 episodes, and i'm glad they finally aired the last few episodes. the characters really grew over the show's life. one's you hated you end up liking.

    it was also interesting to see how they treated faith & religion. it reminded me of the quote from chris rock's character in dogma. faith is what matters.being a good person is all you need to worry about. this was a nice change from all the lawyer,doctor,cop shows. i am very sad to see it go, too bad they can't cancel all these blasted reality shows.moreless

  • A good show with a good cast and the potential to go that bit further, but feel short of the rating.

    7.5
    "Good"
    Eli played by Johnny Lee Miller is a very good actor and perform his role very well. There was all kind of expression acting and very clever delivery. He was supported by a gifted cast who could sing and dance.

    Eli's major problem is having a tuma which leads to Eli's gift. Knowing the future through visions and dreams. But in his dream world the graphics you get at times is rather low-par. The stories all link together and are very well written.

    It was rather surprising to see all that singing and George Michael playing himself. It just added to what the show was about.

    But in the heart of the show is religion and the basis for what is god. To me I felt a bit preached too, but this doesn't stop enjoyment.

    There was a lot of fun to be had in watching this show and Julie Gonzalo who plays Maggie I thought was very attractive. Alas it didn't last long and the all-powerful couldn't stop a cancellation.moreless

  • Great sarcastic, dramatic and funny show with a hint of sci-fi. Seeing hallucinations featuring George Michael is considered sci-fi in by my book :)

    "Superb"
    I Always looked forward to watching the next Eli Episode, hopefully they will be picked up again.

    I hate it when the networks finally find something good and then after securing a fan base they cancel every thing. Is it a marketing trick? Do they plan to revive Eli later thus hoping for a bigger audience? I don't know what they are planing, I just want my weekly dose of Eli back. Maybe we the fans are in the a bad age group and no advertiser wants to buy ads before or after this show. . . . . .moreless

  • Great show a rare gem the first show I would ever characterize as heart warming. Eli Stone had a unique premise and characters that sucked you in. For once in my tv viewing history I was concerned with every character even the ones I didn't like.moreless

    Great show a rare gem the first show I would ever characterize as heart warming. Eli Stone had a unique premise and characters that sucked you in. For once in my tv viewing history I was concerned with every character even the ones I didn't like. The plot of the show a modern day prophet was done perfectly. Making a sleazy lawyer with an Aneurysm the voice of god added complexity to the story and how the characters would deal with Eli and his visions. The family history of Eli with his father having the same power being revealed slowly over the two seasons was also well played. The silly dance sequences made me uncomfortable at times as Eli goes into another world and embarrasses himself but at the same time. I enjoyed the good feel they added to the show. Guess a dancing prophet show with a lawyer from San Francisco was too much for regular tv and sadly we don't get guaranteed smiles each week.moreless
