Modern Day Prophet
So I've been on and off with Eli Stone, this show is really a hidden gem. I heard a bit of buzz before it came out, it is quirky but it is definitely very well written. Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller of the famed Hackers Movie) is a lawyer with a brain aneurysm who sees the future, but the future is seen in rather "different" ways. Either it be a step into a past event, a war scene that has some meaning to a case, or George Michael singing on his couch, these visions are always fresh and always keep you guessing..
These visions also provide a really great foreshadowing to the show, which is what I think is the brilliant piece to this entire show, they can take the signature quirk to the show and play off of it flawlessly. Just like LOST perfecting the flashback and flash-forward.. Eli Stone mastered the art of Foresight.
I downloaded all the episodes, and I have about 2 episodes left for this season.. you can go to ABC.com and watch full episodes there, or if you got a favorite torrent site.. download them there.. it is a great show!
Speaking of great shows.. Heroes is coming back soon, and if you gave up on the last season like I did.. KEEP THE FAITH!! This first episode will slap your momma! We got to watch the first episode of the new season in its entirety at Comic Con this year.. and believe you me... theres some shit going down that is just.. fan-fucking-tastic!
Heres a glimpse of Eli Stone:
