Eli Stone Premiere Review
I love watching new shows because I get a fresh start to judge how I will like the show. I have watched many series openings and the ones that I haven’t liked were taken off the air after a while, but the ones I like (most) have remained on for a while.
Eli Stone is a high profile lawyer who hallucinates images of grandeur that tell him what he needs to do. It turns out that the hallucinations that his father had were not caused by alcohol, but by a brain aneurysm which he inherited from him. George Michaels appeared on the pilot episode about a boy with Autism due to a vaccine. The best part is that his soon to be father-in-law is also his boss is played by Victor Garber who seems to always play a lawyer in the TV shows he is in.
Pop Star George Michael will also appear on the show and each episode will be named after a song of his. Berlanti is a fan of Michael and tried hard to get him to appear on the show, and it turned out that Michael is a TV junkie, which led to the singer agreeing to do several episodes, including one in which Stone will represent him for real
I really enjoyed the episode and I hope others did too. Eli Stone is on Thursday nights at 10pm after Lost (which I never got into…sorry fans)
