What happens

Eli Stone is an American comedy legal drama television series created by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim. They served as executive producers alongside Ken Olin, who directed the pilot, with Melissa Berman producing. The series aired on ABC from January 31, 2008, to July 11, 2009, for two seasons. The series follows Stone (Jonny Lee Miller), a San Francisco lawyer who begins to have hallucinations (such as a George Michael soundtrack that only he can hear and getting dive-bombed by a World War I biplane on a busy San Francisco street) which leads him to two possible conclusions: side effects from his potentially fatal brain aneurysm, or the chance that something greater is at work. His visions lead him to accept cases with little monetary gain but a lot of moral goodness, while also – occasionally – accurately predicting things like earthquakes or plane crashes. Other such events occur throughout the course of the series, but the series was cancelled before reaching a coherent conclusion. The series has been met with generally favorable reviews from critics, and both seasons have been released on DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
