Medium centers on a suburban mom (Patricia Arquette) who attempts to balance life at home and at work. The catch? She's solves crimes using a special skill: communicating with dead people.
A suburban mom bestowed with the gift of second sight works as a part-time consultant to the district attorney's office in this series starring Emmy Award-winning actress Patricia Arquette and inspired by the true-life story of research medium Allison DuBois. Allison (Arquette) can speak with the dead, and frequently sees the future in her dreams. She is an invaluable tool in solving the crimes that perplex her boss, D.A. Devalos (Miguel Sandoval), as her powers help the authorities to capture criminals who might have otherwise gotten away with their gruesome crimes. When Allison is not helping to solve crimes alongside Detective Lee Scanlon (David Cubitt), she spends the majority of her time with her husband, Joe (Jake Weber), and three daughters, Ariel (Sofia Vassilieva), Bridgette (Maria Lark), and Marie (Madison Carabello).
