Eli Stone: Season 1 (2008)

Quirky dramady from ABC has San Francisco lawyer Stone (Jonny Lee Miller) experiencing elaborate musical numbers in visions that que him to charitable under-dog court cases that either his subconscience, or God, or both, want him to take. All this steams from a hereditary aneurism recently discovered by Stone's doctor brother Nate, and which our hero’s acupuncturist/spiritual guide believes makes him a prophet. Likable, very good hearted show could have been episodic, but instead follows a surprisingly well developed arc. George Michael songs and the aechingly cute Julie Gonzalo abound. To bad this series was canceled after season 2, I’d have liked to see it grow into a real institution of a program. Grade: B+
