Eli Stone
I guess being a big-shot lawyer isn’t what it’s cracked up to be after all. When lawyer Eli Stone’s high-class life is interrupted by hallucinations so vivid that he jumps right into them, his life gets turned upside down. Upon finding out that these hallucinations are caused by the same brain aneurysm that his father suffered from, Eli begins to believe that maybe these hallucinations aren’t just symptoms, but explores the possibility that they may be divine visions. Since first having a ‘vision’ Eli gains a strong conviction to help out the ‘underdog’ cases at his law firm that is known for chewing up the little guy and he begins to pass up chances to reel in the big bucks. With each vision he gets, a client comes along in need of Eli’s expertise on law. Eli is able to solve the cases from his ‘visions,’ and a little help from his acupuncturist who helps trigger memories from the past. Eli Stone could easily be seen as a controversial series as this is bringing a hint of God into the courtroom and dealing with cases that are worldly related and against Christian values. This will definitely stir up conversation about believing in something for the greater good and testing your measure of faith. Overall this is a very enjoyable and well-produced show, after watching this first season you will feel like you know the characters and will be anxious to see what happens next.
