The Masterplan

Howdy
On Monday, I watched the new Sci-Fi channel drama Eli Stone, were Johnny Lee Miller playing the title character is an attorney of his girlfriend's dad successful law firm, who begins to have larger than life visions that compel him to do out-of-the-ordinary things. Eli suffers from a brain aneurysm that causes him to have these realistic hallucinations, which often relate to the plot of that episode. There is also hints that may lead Eli into being a modern day prophet. The hallucinations are usually based in the law firm, which makes it funny and embarrassing TV, they're also accompanied by George Michael songs sung by the other cast memebers. I really recommend the show, it feels a mix between a comedy musical meets Boson Legal.  I know it sounds weird, but it is really engaging.  Johnny Lee Miller from Trainspotting fame is excellent and the supporting cast around him make it compelling, especially Patti, who is Eli's P.A, who is very sarcastic and hilarious
Also, watched Dead Set and was really disappointed in it. The ending was predictable and I felt it just copied so many other zombie like movies.
