Allison Dubois (Arquette) is a strong-willed, devoted young wife and mother of three girls, who has gradually come to grips with her extraordinary ability to talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams and read people's thoughts. This season, Allison and her family's world is turned upside down after her abilities are publicly exposed, resulting in sweeping changes both professionally and personally.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This season begins with an end to the cliffhanger(s) from the end of season five. Of course Allison survives, but the character doesn't recover in one episode, which is nice to see for a change. The character stuggles with herself, her environment, and with recovery.
Season six brings more of the family-work-paranormal world we've grown to love, and while a couple of episodes are unusually graphic and creepy, one is particularly fun as the cast spoof zombie films from the past.
The "girls" are growing up fast, two characters get engaged, and every character learns some very important lessons.
One episode in particular sticks in my mind, in which Allison finds a pair of sunglasses (or do they find her?). When she puts them on, everyone around her has a number on their forehead. Watch the episode to find out what that number means (it's a shocker).
Another great season from the cast, crew, and characters we've grown to love.
This season is truly awesome,just like every other season.Such an amazing cast & compelling subject matter.Patricia Arquette is so incredibly talented.
I'm hoping that there is a new set of writers on the final season. Am halfway thru this season and it looks like they are running out of good ideas for the episodes.

What is it about network executives that they fear airing shows that dare to be different? Has variety become a thing of the past for TV viewers? Are we all doomed to watch mindless reality programs that show people at their worst? Programs where you can "text" while watching TV and not miss a thing? When I heard that MEDIUM had been cancelled, I can't say I was surprised. It was different than other programs and it seems that networks consider that a bad thing.
I've spent the past month watching MEDIUM from the very beginning to the end of Season 6 on DVDs. I fell in love with the characters all over again. Then I cursed the networks for being such spineless cowards for cancelling it. While I watched Season 6, I noticed a shift in the story line. We saw more dreams from Bridget, Marie and especially, Ariel. Is this what brought the ratings down and made the network cancel it? Was the public unhappy about this change or were they unable to understand the plot while "texting"? As much as I prefer to see Allison in the lead role, it was a nice change to see what the girls were experiencing for a few episodes. As Ariel grew closer to high school graduation and going on to college, I felt this would open the door to more story possibilities. I never imagined this change would turn viewers away and bring on the death of this wonderful program.
For me....this was the last program I still enjoyed watching on television. Now I'll go to my DVD collection for entertainment. There are no commercials to destroy the plots and I am entertained by everything I see. Now that MEDIUM is no more, if I had my way I'd cancel our satellite TV all together. I consider it a waste of money since no one can ever find anything that's worth watching. I'm anxiously awaiting the release of the final Season 7 of MEDIUM. I will be among the first to purchase it, knowing there will be no more episodes. Maybe sometime, in the far future, some network executive will get the bright idea to bring another different kind of program to television. To be different and offer variety to the viewers. I just hope I live long enough to see it.
in der sechsten staffel von "medium", die 5 dvd's umfasst, bleibt es gewohnt spannend. allison dubois (gespielt von patricia arquette) hilft wie in den staffeln davor staatsanwalt devalos (miguel sandoval) und detectiv scanlon (david cubitt) bei der aufklärung von verbrechen. wie in den folgen zuvor hilft insbesondere ihre mediale gabe dabei, tätern auf die spur zu kommen.
ganz allmählich werden auch details aus dem vorleben der protagonisten gezeigt (z.b. der kriminelle bruder scanlons oder der unaufgeklärte suizid der tochter devalos'), die spannend sind und psychologisch schlüssig zu den folgen davor passen (z.b. war schwer vorstellbar, dass in der beziehung zwischen devalos, seiner frau und der tochter so viel kummer lag, dass diese sich suizidiert - dass sie es praktisch aus liebe zum vater gemacht hat, war viel schlüssiger).
die mediale gabe spielt auch zunehmend bei den kindern von allison und joseph dubois eine rolle, da sie zum einen ebenfalls eine aktive rolle in der verbrechensaufklärung spielen, zum anderen das familienleben erheblich beeinflussen. alles bleibt aber in einem guten rahmen, nichts all zu schwer vorstellbares passiert und dieser mut zum verzicht auf zunehmend reißerische elemente zeichnet meines erachtens diese serie aus.
statt mehr wucht durch action o.ä. einzubringen, wird es gleichbleibend kreativ, der rahmen erweitert sich jedoch (wissenschaftler, der auf eigenwillige weise forschungsgelder einzutreiben versucht / eine tierschützerin, die selbst zur verbrecherin wird), auch wenn die eine oder andere ähnlichkeit zu früheren folgen besteht ("der austauschmöder").
ganz spannend finde ich die folgen "amnesie", in der ariel die hauptperson ist und durch zeitsprünge in die zukunft ein geplantes verbrechen im hier und jetzt verhindern hilft sowie die folge "ein traumhafter tod", in dem allison ihren tod und die daraus resultierenden möglichen folgen träumt, was ihr letztlich hilft, ihre tochter ariel loszulassen, um sie nicht zu verlieren.
die serie gefällt mir nach wie vor ausgezeichnet und ich hoffe auf eine weitere staffel - laut vorrezensent darf man auf mindestens noch eine hoffen.
If you purchase this DVD and you are in Japan, you should better to check your player's "Regional code". My DVD player bought in Japan didn't work for this DVD. You can play this DVD by PC bougt in Japan but you have to change its "Regional code" into US's. and the meanwhile, you cannot play DVD setup Japanese "Region code". As far as I know, the change of "Regional code" is limited up to 3-4 times in WINDOWS.
