ELI STONE IS LOVE.

[sarren]

Dragonfly and I have been mainlining Eli Stone this last week or so. Jonny Lee Miller* plays a high powered lawyer who develops a brain aneurism and starts having visions that enable him to help people. This show is everything I normally DON'T like in a show.

1 Rich smug people.
2 Legal drama
3 Discussions of theology
4 Scenes that regularly LEAP my embarrassment threshold. (and even cause Dragonfly to make whimpering noises)

And yet, it is just SO. DAMN. GOOD. It is the first show EVER that has consistently held my interest during courtroom scenes. (sorry Boston Legal, I still heart you)

Season 2 opening scene (if you're spoilerphobic mute the first 20 seconds while the voiceover updates us)

If you watch this and aren't intrigued, you have NO SOUL. I'm just sayin'.



*Of Plunkett and MacLeane fame, oh, and okay, he was in some film called Trainspotting.

It's set in San Francisco? :-D

My current fave TV show is Breaking Bad.

It is the most set-in-San-Francisco show you'll ever see. They ride around in trams and there's lots of stuff relating to the bridge.

Huh, Breaking Bad looks good. I'll look it up.
