Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Christopher A. Rogers Mildly entertaining. It definitely did not need 5 seasons, two would have been plenty. Crying in a show works for dramatic purposes but when you do it all the time then when it's needed for emphasis it doesn't work. She cries on every episode... sometimes more than once. So in the situations like when her husband dies or her son goes missing those are supposed to be very dramatic points but we are so used to her tears that it left a little to be desired. And whining... that grates on my nerves like nails on a chalk board does to some people. She didn't whine a whole lot but when she did it was very annoying.Then there were a few inconsistencies (or things that lacked explanation) in the show. One of the biggest is the situation regarding her husband when he stole the other guy's body. Here you have a body that has taken on sufficient damage enough to kill the guy but yet another soul can just move into his body? Is it too damaged for the original soul to move back in? Why could Jim not move back into his original body, if that's the case? Then, since he was a thief, they still used his original face throughout the rest of the show to throw the fans off that that was not Jim's body even though EVERY SINGLE PERSON supposedly saw the other guy's face. How about keeping it real and using the other guy since it is his body that was stolen.And Melinda the hypocrite. She tells everyone that they must move on because it isn't right for them to stay... well, except when it comes to her own relationship. How about she tell people, "look, you gotta move on or seal some guy's dead body like my husband did." At least give them the option like she and Jim took. Overall, the show was not bad but it wasn't really good either. I would say if 5 is average then this show would get a 4 - 4.5 rating. I am impressed at how easily Hewitt can cry on the spot. That's hard to do. If they could have toned down her crying to maybe once or twice a season it would have bumped my rating of the show up probably a whole additional point. It's like as if I ended every sentence on this review with an exclamation point. After a while it would probably go unnoticed.

lacewings56 i like how there is romance and history and antiques but also a moralistic aspect to the show, and a message of life after death, good triumphing over evil and overall compassion. I also like the clothes that Jennifer wears throughout..gorgeous lacy long cardigans, low-cut but not too slinky blouses. She maintains a sense of calm composure, serenity and spirituality the whole time. The series really makes you think about deep psychological, family and spiritual issues and to not be ashamed to talk about them and bring them out to the forefront. I purchased the season one at a half-price bookstore not knowing if I would like the show or not but I really did enjoy it. I like psychic stuff and this fit the bill!

Natalie Jane First off great show regardless of what anyone else says. This is escape-isum at its very best, the show has everything, it will have you cry, laugh; it will make you yell at your TV screen and your always routing for Melinda. I can tell you, I haven't cried this much at something on TV since the movie "Love Story"!. The Characters are real people you can relate to. The cast is amazing. The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact it was cancelled! I say, must watch!Pilot:The series follows the life of Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. While trying to live as normal a life as possible—she is married and owns an antique store—Melinda helps earthbound spirits resolve their problems and cross over into the Light, or the spirit world. Her tasks are difficult and at times she struggles with people who push her away and disbelieve her ability. In addition, the ghosts are mysterious and sometimes menacing in the beginning and Melinda must use the clues available to her to understand the spirit's needs and help them.

lilwolf1 Gentlemen: I have seen most all of the episodes, which I find quite entertaining, and it occurs to me that there might be people like this in this world, we just do not get to meet them, I like the idea of a "ghost whisperer", I have always thought that her "gift" should include an ability to hold hands with the ghost and the other person enabling the person to see and talk to the ghost, thus eliminating the idea of her having to repeat what the ghost said and get the message across. Just a thought for more episodes, because it is frustrating when she says "I'll tell them/him/her" and I feel that something is lost, and it would be a bonus to see the departed one, no biggie tho, I just had to say it. I love the show.Sincerely Richard.
