What 'Ghost Whisperer' Is About:
Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) communicates with earthbound spirits, ghosts who cling to the living because they have unfinished business that prevents them from moving beyond the familiar plane of existence that we call life. Ghost Whisperer explores the spiritual side of life and death as Melinda navigates among the dead and the living in her sometimes chilling, sometimes heart-rending and sometimes amusing attempts to act as an intermediary between the ghosts and those they haunt.

Flavor of 'Ghost Whisperer':
Ghost Whisperer works like a detective show, in that Melinda is exposed to a ghost at the start of the show and must seek out the problems the spirit is having crossing over in order to alleviate them. Though this is interlaced the deeply personal relationship developments with her family and friends, which range from emotional and traumatic to lighthearted. The dark side of the afterlife is an important element of the show and adds tension to the work Melinda does.
