Newest Review: ... a real brain aneurysm causes visions or hallucinations. And how much can you believe that God could speak to someone through a blood vessel pressing on their brain? In this, Eli Stone seems even more absurd than both "Ali McBeal" and "Boston Legal". But on the other hand, there is something far more endearing about Eli than anything or anyone these other two shows ever ... more

Meet Eli Stone. Eli is a regular, everyday, cut-throat corporate lawyer on the fast-track to becoming a senior partner in a prestigious San Francisco firm.

However, this untroubled existence is soon to be disrupted by the sudden onset of bizarre visions for although he doesn't yet know it Eli Stone has an inoperable brain aneurysm, a condition which causes vivid hallucinations, delusions of grandeur, and could kill him at any moment. At least, that's the medical explanation for what ... Read the complete review
