The Plot:
Police detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) regains consciousness following a car accident involving his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) and his son Rex (Dylan Minnette). Michael moves back and forth between two realities: in one, Rex survived while Hannah is dead; in the other, Hannah survived but Rex did not. Trying to keep both his loved ones alive, Michael starts living a "double life," moving back and forth between the two realities, dealing with different personal conflicts and police partners. He also starts noticing strange links between the two realities.

Theres been some hype starting to circulate around this show. I'm kind of interested because 1. it's starring Jason Isaacs and 2. it's an interesting premise.

I'ts also starring (Lost Spoiler) the fake Jack Shepard's son.

Eh, I don't see a reason for a hype train but it looks watchable.

Awake (new NBC show)

Seems really interesting, but I probably won't consider watching until the season is over to see how it goes.

I think that trailer just got me. But seeing NBC there really puts a downer on it.
I wish this was an HBO or AMC show. But I think I might give it a shot.

The pilot comes on Thursday at 10pm. I heard its online already on youtube and hulu and stuff but I'm just gonna wait til TV. Anyone else plan on watching?

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** February, 28, 2012 - 2:21pm

I might. I don't know. I was tempted to watch the pilot episode online but then Mandy said she might want to watch it too.
So I was going to hold off until the premiere. But now I don't know if either of us want to. hahaha

I thought it was decent. Lucius is pretty good in it. I'll probably keep watching, just not sure how they are going to keep it going for more than one season.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** March, 4, 2012 - 9:55pm

Yeah it was OK. I can see it kind of getting confusing.
Like he's working on different cases in each reality with a different partner.
But then somehow they have little things in common.

In the preview for next week it looks like we're going to get some more info on what happened with his accident and if it was done on purpose.

My parents seemed to really dig it.

Bowie · **Posted:** March, 29, 2012 - 9:55pm

The wife is the worst. I'm catching up on this, just watched the one where his retired partner came back, Mr boy meets world. I'm liking it so far.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** May, 11, 2012 - 6:57pm

Just when it starts getting pretty good, its gets the axe.
It was cancelled. Two more episodes and then its done.

Bowie · **Posted:** May, 11, 2012 - 7:49pm

Boooooooooooooooooooo

Nick · **Posted:** May, 11, 2012 - 8:10pm

Is it just me or are a lot of shows getting the axe extremely quickly recently.
