Eli Stone: “Pilot”

Jonny Lee Miller plays an ambitious lawyer named Eli Stone who wakes up one day and starts having aural and visual hallucinations that don't go away until he does the right thing. For a lawyer show, this wasn't all that bad. But I must admit that I liked it a lot more when it was called Wonderfalls. Or Joan of Arcadia. And I especially hate the way they booted out the female protagonist and replaced her with a male character. Apparently we can't have too many shows about white male lawyers on American TV.

Oh, well. It was nice seeing Victor Garber play something other than the character he played on the TV show Alias. Then again he played the title character's father on Alias and he is playing the title character's boss (as well as the father of the title character's girlfriend) on this show. Not really much of a change, is it?

Oh, well again. Perhaps this show won't be too bad after all. Not that it isn't a bit academic for me to say that about a show that was canceled after two seasons.
