Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron hit pay dirt with this dramatic series, one of the better examples of what may be looked back upon as the golden age of TV mediums. Its greatest asset is top-billed Patricia Arquette, whose portrayal of strong-willed medium Allison Dubois won her a well-deserved Emmy after the first season. The 2005-6 season is slightly uneven, with average episodes tending to dominate the first half and strong ones grouped together toward the end of the year. One theme that is revisited several times is the apprehension of Allison's supportive husband, Joe (the excellent Jake Weber), over the early manifestations of psychic predisposition in their daughter, Bridgette (Maria Lark). Season 2 finds Allison's boss, D.A. Devalos (Miguel Sandoval), slightly more inclined to trust that her psychic abilities can give investigators the upper hand in penetrating mysteries whose solutions often reside with those who live beyond the grave. We especially like "Twice Upon a Time," the season finale, in which Allison dreams of how her life might have turned out had she followed the career in law she originally pursued. Another good one is "Allison Wonderland," pitting the medium against anti-terrorism agents who turn up while she's trying to locate the missing brother of a friend. And for genuine chills, there's no topping "The Darkness Is Light Enough," which finds Allison dreaming repeatedly about a woman being spied upon by a stranger in her own bedroom. Ed Hulse
