Review of Medium

Medium (2005–2011)
8/10
Very good series but a bad series finale

If you like suspense and twists, then Medium is your show to watch. I have enjoyed watching the show and enjoyed all the characters but I must admit that Patricia Arquette did get on my nerves at times while in character and although she was the star of the show, she was my least favorite character on it.

All the seasons were good but the show was "losing its steam" in the last half of season 6 and again in the final season, as the plots were just not as good as previous ones were. Obviously producers were running out of ideas when they had Allison turn on Scanlon in one episode and later in another episode she betrays Devalos. After all those 3 have been through together, you just can't do that as a producer and expect that to be accepted and believed by the viewer.

As for the final episode, well in my opinion producers continued their bad streak and got it wrong again. You MUST keep that family intact throughout, from beginning to end. They completely ruined it with Joe's death. A much better final episode would have been for Allison to find out she was pregnant, she and Joe wonder how they can go on with their careers while raising another child. Then they can fast forward to the future, in the end, of the entire Dubois family attending the High School graduation of the son Joe and Allison never had, until now.

Overall I enjoyed the series and recommend it highly.
