The first scene is almost identical to the first scene of
Tru Calling
. Grandma takes a wee girl to the funeral of Eddie Jones (
Lois and Clark, Invisible Man
). They can see ghosts, and the wee girl's job is to convey the deceased's final request.
However, once it gets started it becomes clear the show is a lot more like
Medium
- though Patricia Arquette actually solves murder-mysteries!
After the credits, the wee girl has grown up to become Jennifer Juggs Hewitt.
She's at her wedding, which makes this even more like
Medium
insofar as they're deliberately driving way male viewers.
Hewitt's a Producer, she must take some of the blame.
However, token black chick
Aisha Tyler
might lure some menfolk back.
Juggs is haunted by Wentworth Miller (
Legends of Tomorrow
). It turns out he is MIA in Nam since 1972,
and his son is Balthazar Getty (
