Show written by: Greg Berlanti & Marc Guggenheim
Cast: Jonny Lee Miller as Eli Stone, James Saito (Shredder in TMNT) as Dr Chen, Natasha Henstridge as Eli’s ex-fiancee Taylor Wethersby and Loretta Devine as Eli’s assistant, Patti Dellacroix
He’s rich, successful, eloquent and handsome. Eli Stone is an eminent lawyer of a prominent law firm, drives a luxurious car and lives in a dream apartment in the big city of San Francisco. Sounds like the ultimate dream guy for the female species, except for that one major problem.
He is diagnosed with brain aneurysm, which is an enlargement of a blood vessel in the brains. This means that he could die anytime if the vessel where to breaks. Bad news; it can’t be operated on and it’s giving him hallucinations. The good news is that those hallucinations are actually visions of the future and are usually clues to future law cases.
While Eli thinks that he is losing his mind, his acupuncturist Dr Chen (who fakes a Chinese accent just so that people will pay more attention to him) believes that Eli is actually a modern-day prophet. As Eli struggles with the changes in his life, he comes to terms with his childhood problems involving the truth of his father’s drunken behavior and doing the right things in life.
It’s hard to blame Eli Stone for thinking that he’s losing his mind. Everyone else thinks that way as well, especially when he thinks the co-founder a.k.a the serious boss starts singing and dancing along with an accompanying choir of other staff workers. Fun’s over when Eli realizes that he’s the only one grooving to the beat (and not to mention the beat that only he can hear) on top of the table of the office lobby.
Singer George Michael has quite an influence over the series by making a guest appearance in the first episode and with almost all the episodes named after his songs, like “Faith” and “One more try”, which were performed by the staff and people in the office in Eli’s random hallucinations that often ends up in an embarrassing one-man show.
The plot might seem boring at first but as you discover each new episode, they each deliver a wake-up call.
Watching this show can really help you gain inspiration for what to write in your RJs. I mean, sometimes the facilitators do set questions that need you to think more into life. It is a refreshing comedy that shows anything can happen in life. At the same time, it teaches the truth about reality, that it is not easy to want to help people using morality while trying to be rich and successful.
For those wanting to catch it, it is currently showing on Channel 5, every Sunday, 12 a.m. @
