TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

julesrulesny This show was amazing. I felt an attachment to the characters. I looked forward to every episode. every episode was warm hearted, light, not too serious.. Never depressing me to the point of hopelessness and fearing to go to bed b/c some stranger will break into my apartment and rob or worse, kill me.. Basically, that is the majority of television shows here in the U.S. and abroad. at least Eli Stone you can finish watching the show, and have pleasant dreams of wonder and hope! It was a perfect blend of characters with writing. The casting directors nailed it. the writing of the show nailed it.. But, America failed!! People were actually calling this show "exploitive", filled with "mis-information" and too "political". OMG! Holy Cow! Wow! I mean, I can go on and on with 'explitives' but this is just insane..I am so sorry to the people who thought this show was exploitive and misinformed, giving the viewers a false sense of security that there is or is not a God and you can not be cured or saved by a prophet.Seriously, I have read reviews where people were complaining about the misinformation in the show.. Such as the first episode on autism. I am sorry folks, it is FICTION! Since when did Fictional Television become your Evening News? It's actually very disturbing that these viewers were so wound up that they felt the views that some lawyer can be a prophet were so outrageous and that Autism can be caused by vaccines, that in effect it was a show filled with misinformation and false hope.. (which, by the way, has not been 100% disproved that vaccines are indeed causing Autism b/c really, we just don't know.. but it seems too coincidental that Autism rates rise the same time we have put more chemicals in our foods, at the same time we use more and more medications).. either way, I shall repeat myself again.. it is a TV show. Ya know, the stuff of fairy tales and imagination!! If people weren't so wound up, had a sense of wonder, hope, dreams, imagination, amazing shows like this would last for years!! Instead b/c America likes violence, likes when people fail and kill each other.. only dramatic, serious, violent shows succeed. Some comedic shows did very well..tho this show could be more characterized as a quirky, drama with some comedy.. anyways, some other shows that can be characterized in a similar fashion have done well.. but seems to come on at different times, different years where the collective mood of the country rises and falls with each passing week.. the success of these shows, really depends on the mood of the country and what is making headlines..Yes, many of them were good.. but a show like Eli Stone gives a comedic insight to a drama filled world. gives you a sense of wonder and hope.. Not that the show was intended to be funny, b/c its not.. but it does have a light drama / comedy tone too it.. with the sequences when "Eli" having his visions and dancing or talking to himself.. or clapping while staring at some blank wall.. It is writing like this, that opens up the mind to hope, dreams and a world that doesn't exist.People, typical viewers are too wound up and have no sense of wonder or imagination.. unfortunately this represents approx. in my opinion, perhaps 70% of the public.. the other 30% like myself, don't take television 'life' so seriously and can watch just about any show without prejudice, realizing that it is not some evening news show filled with "misinformation".. that I'm not going to watch an Episode of Eli Stone, and go to my doctor and ask him how come I'm not having visions to save my autistic child! Absolutely ludicrous! Misinformation? Uggh Sorry, I just found some of those comments so sad.. but it genuinely reflects a part of todays society.. where they will watch Fox News or MSNBC talk shows, very biased, one sided in nature as pure fact.. taking some giant leap into this new world of journalism and believing it. then, turn on a show like Eli Stone and call it some Liberal Media bias.. that its so off kilter, blown out of proportion and incorrect that it should be held to a higher standard that actual news stations like CNN, MSNBC or Fox News! Please America.. in this day in age, now 4 years after the show was canceled.. after we have gone through an awful economic downturn with no end in sight no matter who's the President - Please, I beg you America, PLEASE lighten up for the sake of Man Kind!!Eli Stone was a great show.. and deserved more seasons! It's always the shows that I love, that get canceled way to early. I seem to be one of the few who fall for the shows that don't last..

rchandem Best show ever. For the likes of me who can't stand "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives", or even 2 episode its all I can take of "Lost" over hyped. Finally a show my girl and I can both agree on. Rumours are the show was canceled by ABC after 2 seasons. A shame as we were really getting into it. The characters the plots, we truly liked every single episode. We become so addicted that we almost watch season 2 on one Sunday alone. Character of Eli Stone is untouchable, but keep an eye on the secretary she is fire. The show can offer so much more. Please let there be Eli Stone Season 3. Watch it and you will not regret it.

gromit-17 I've never rated a TV show but every now and then, a special one came along that changed my perception of trashy network TV. I didn't watch this show when it was aired, I watched it on the DVD release, and to my own surprise, I finished the complete Season one! To my opinion, first half of the season one is among the best shows I've ever seen came out from Network and Cabled TV. They are even better than most movies I've seen nowadays, and with a better price: free. I liked the show because it has all the qualities are not generally found in a TV show: well written and acted, clever and touching at the same time, and it rings truth and did make one think after watching it. Yes, I noticed it's a little Alley Mcbealish and that lost some of my rating for originality, however, it offered more emotional depth. I can't see this is a show that can be aired for seasons. It's a show with quality, not quantity. I'd rather to see it end soon and remain as one of my favorites, instead of sliding back to the trashy network formula.

bastialc-1 A quick flip through the network channels on any given weeknight is a stroll through a gallery of bloody murders, shaky camera work, and crying people dealing with horrible consequences to stupid actions. "Eli Stone" is a welcome relief, specializing in lovable characters, amusing visual effects, and a conspicuous lack of gory flesh wounds. After you have finished watching an episode, the viewer will realize that the show also included ethical questions, and very real discussions about very difficult current issues--presented in a manner far more engaging than that of your local NPR station (no offense...).If you, like me, are hooked by the controversial pilot episode, make the effort to watch the entire season before watching the season finale. You will have been entertained, and--surprisingly in the current television "wasteland"--you will have learned something about the people around you in the United States of America.
