Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

... View MoreMy wife and I recently found this TV series on Netflix. We were completely caught up in the story and had to restrain ourselves from watching the entire season all at once.It's definitely a must see for anyone liking shows that have a plot for your brain to puzzle on. It didn't rely on, in fact it didn't really use at all any special effect or big time action scenes. I felt Jason Isaacs portrayed the character Michael Britton perfectly. Wilmer Valderrama and Steve Harris also played their characters very well and in a believable manner. In fact I think all the cast was great in the portrayal of their characters.A thumbs down to NBC for not being able to get this show the audience and ratings it deserved. A thumbs up to Netflix for making it available for me to watch.++++++++++++++++++spoiler below+++++++++++++++++++++++ The last episode is only a cliff-hangar for the next expected season, so unfortunately nothing is completely resolved. A new twist is added just so your brain can spin some more.
... View MoreThis was called "Awake" in part because he woke up to a different world each day. But what if - because of the accident say - he actually slipped from one reality to a parallel reality. The idea of parallel universes has been kicked around for years. In this case he would actually have been lucky in that the two realities he experienced were so similar. He had the same job, same house, and either his wife or his son. I have not seen the final episode just yet but I understand his wife AND his son were both there at the same time. Perhaps this would have been a THIRD reality where the accident had not happened??? If the producers had approached this series from this perspective it could have given the series a whole new direction. Maybe someone will come up with another series based on this general idea. (But please, No more "Sliders".)
... View MoreI would say the regular season is an 8 or 9. But the last 2-3 episodes were just expertly done, had the finish and acting and twists more like a top notch movie than a TV series. The only thing that's awful about this show is that it only lasted a season. I get SO tired of the formulaic tripe on TV and film. Unfortunately I'm left to lament the lack of imagination from most TV viewers, which is the only explanation I can think of for this show being canceled. Such an incredible waste. This is one show with great acting in multiple roles, not just the lead. The two psychiatrists in particular are excellent. I imagine some people thought the lead actor was a little to stolid but I think it was acted perfectly. He really became the character. Plus given the nature of his "issue" that really was the most fitting way to approach the problem.
... View MoreAwake:Wow what a compelling TV drama. How Mike "Jason Isaacs " uses both his lives to help each other. I must say I didn't see my self watching this season in 3 days. The twits a turns our players go thru were grate writing. Watching our players live and die from one time line to the next was riveting.The season started great 1/2 way thru I wanted to stop watching, then our writers would begin a build that kept me thru to the end.So many unanswered questions. Will they take Emma "Daniela Bobadilla" as their daughter or will she go home? Will Emma have the baby and then Mike and Hanna have a grandchild of their son? Will Detective Efrem Vega "Wilmer Valderrama" get Mike out of Jail?We see in the season finally that Mike is reunited with his family. Was this all a dream? Can Mike use what he has learned to help him now? Or is this a third time line. Should he put a Blue rubber band on his wrist?This and many more questions will never be answered as this T.V. series has lived out it's usefulness.A must watch!
