Pilot Episode, 11 May 2006
Author: teichedlynchie from United States

I went to Universal Studios two Saturdays ago, and I was fortunate enough to watch this show and paid 15 dollars to do so. Who wouldn't love to see a show with Mr. Jeff Goldblum on it? I loved it. I don't watch Medium nor have I ever seen an episode, but if I did, I suppose I would see similarities between the two. As far as I know, Raines is a bit unique. Jeff Goldblum is detective Raines and every time he is assigned to a case, he sees the victim as a figment of his imagination. The victims talk back to him, but they only know what he knows. And, they will not go away until he solves a case. It's clever, I think. Oh, and the quips are pretty funny.

I think the show will do well.

Jeff Goldblum is amazing. lol.
