Considering the premise of the show in which a psychic works for the D.A.’s office in Phoenix, Arizona. Allison Dubois (played by Patricia Arquette), a married mother of three, uses her special ability to help the D.A. She is able to talk to dead people, read peoples thoughts and see the future in her dreams. These abilities come in handy when trying to solve crimes.
What makes this show different from other law and order type shows is the family element. You end up truly caring for the main characters. The DuBois’s home life is an integral part of the show and it is full and busy. Harried, but loving, Allison and Joe (played by Jake Weber) try their best to balance their careers and home life.
