Watching Eli Stone makes you realize the value of the simple lessons that we often forget about or that we willingly choose to neglect. Eli Stone, who found out in his later years as a lawyer, has been diagnosed of a brain aneurysm that enables him to have visions. These miraculous ability to gain foresight aids him in his high profile job, in-and-out relationships and moving the audience across most episodes.  It's a show that dwells on some aspects of religious beliefs, but does not shake foundations. They constantly refer to biblical events and characters to put Eli right on the track of prophet-hood. In goes a mix of brief musical acts, a bunch of celebrity guests and easy legal humor that makes this tv show unique on its own making ( as i am not aware of others, or have not been acquainted with similar plots).

I do not line it with Suits, True Blood or the Walking Dead, but it's definitely on top of my tv series favorites. Sadly, the season ended on its second run last 2009.

I eagerly await the return of Eli Stone on TV!

Watch the first three episodes to get the feel of it!
