Finishing Medium
Sunday, 16 May 2021 15:42On Friday, I watched the last two episodes of Medium's final season. Now I feel empty.
I first saw Medium around a decade ago, I think? I watched any episodes that came up on reruns, so not in order and definitely not all episodes. This February I was looking for something light-hearted to watch and picked Medium. (I could've picked Peaky Blinders or The Man in the High Castle, but they were too dark and heavy and I just didn't have the emotional bandwidth).
Medium turns out to be perfect. This pandemic definitely affects that - relentless realism depresses me, sheer escapism irritates me. Medium provides a perfect balance: it has enough mundane realism (especially the Dubois's struggle with money) mixed with my kind of escapism (psychic woman goes crime-solving!).
I didn't expect to be so heavily invested in the show, but well, here I am, moping because I want more.
