Eli Stone is an American legal musical comedy-drama television series that was created by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who also served as executive producers alongside Ken Olin who directed the pilot, with Melissa Berman producing.[1] The series originally 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.
