That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update. Williams tries to help people seeking closure after the death of a loved one. But she also "ambushes" some of her subjects for impromptu readings.
Parents need to know that in this reality show, a medium communicates with people who have died and passes along messages to their loved ones. Of course with all this talk about death -- including suicides -- it can get pretty intense, and younger or more sensitive kids may be confused and even freaked out by the idea.

In each episode, Williams stops strangers on the street to get them to agree to an impromptu reading, a tactic that's often met with shock and surprise.
Next come several segments in which Williams works with people who have traveled to her adopted hometown of Los Angeles for the express purpose of working with her to correspond with the dead.
Williams is a quirky character, and viewers will either love her or hate her. She often gets agitated and emotional when speaking to the dead and can be so focused on her work that she takes on an almost haunted aura.
In one episode, Williams relayed loving messages from an American serviceman killed in Iraq to his wife back home and helped a pair of sisters realize why their mother committed suicide.
After a long day's work, Williams puts on her cap -- signaling to the spirits that she's off the clock -- and returns home to her husband, Kevin, and young son, Charlie. Although things can get a little intense and some kids might be freaked out by the idea of talking to spirits , there's nothing particularly harmful about the show, as long as parents are OK with the death- and psychic-centered content.
Since some segments deal with potentially touchy subjects suicide, for starters , save this one for older tweens and up. Families can talk about what happens to a person after they die.
Is there such a thing as an afterlife? How do different faiths tackle the idea of the afterlife? What do you think happens? Is it possible for people to communicate from "beyond the grave"? Do you believe that Williams is really talking to spirits? Do you think her clients find peace after a reading?

But when I decide that I want to switch it on, it's like "Pow," and then the spirits go, "Oh, that's her.
That's where we go. I wrote a book on it: "The Survival of the Soul. When you do a big show, like the one in Tarrytown, how do you select the audience members who get to connect with their loved ones on the "other side"? I don't select anyone. The information comes through, and so it's really the spirit that I actually then go with.
I give out the information and then I find out who it relates to. So everyone has an equal chance of getting a message, of speaking to their loved one. It's not luck of the draw or anything like that. It's luck of the spirit, whoever comes through.
Of course. My own father was a skeptic for many years. I welcome them. I've had many skeptics who walked out a believer, and I've also had skeptics who've gone their way skeptical as well, because they can't change their mind. They don't want to.
They're cynical. I completely understand skeptics. This is the case especially when the departing was sudden and unexpected, or when a tragic accident, suicide, or any other form of death occurred without any warning. We who have lost many young children especially have the nagging question for the departed, are they happy, did they suffer, do they know how much they are missed and how much we want to communicate when we need a comforting word from them.
