Awake

[Rivers17ncsu]

Executive Produced by Howard Gordon. Features Jason Isaacs (from The Patriot and Brotherhood), Steve Harris, Wilmer Valderrama (from That 70's Show), B.D. Wong (from Law & Order SVU), Cherry Jones (from 24), Laura Allen (from The 4400 & Terriers), and Dylan Minnette.





Sypnosis:

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.

This show sounded very interesting the first time I read about it, i'll be watching

[Rivers17ncsu]

Same here I am excited about watching it. I was surprised to see Valderrama on the cast, can't remember the last time I saw him in anything.

[Sharkweather]

Ah damn, it's Lucius Malfoy. I will have to check this out.

Sadly it seems the premiere for this will be pushed back. It didn't appear in NBC's schedule for the winter and I saw that on October 26 a report came out that filiming was halted to work on the scripts.

Guy from TV Guide on no premiere date set for Awake yet:

"Keep in mind that the midseason schedules being announced are mostly just the first wave for winter, and there will be more premieres and tryouts to come, some as late as April, and where and when Awake will air may depend on how things go for NBC in early 2012. Awake is still in NBC's pipeline, but the network is being very cautious about this one, and it's not hard to understand why. It's a very tricky premise, and we're hearing that the network is concerned about the darkness of the tone as well as the audience's willingness to go along with a scenario in which the hero's wife is dead in one reality and his son dead in the other. Neither being a particularly happy state of affairs, obviously, but Jason Isaacs is absolutely terrific and the pilot has haunted me since I saw it, so I hope NBC can find an agreeable time period and a proper time to launch it so it can get the attention it deserves.

just for those who don't know, the shows premiere is March 1st. Can't Wait!

Actually might check this out. Decent premise.

Has this show started yet?

The 1st episode premiere is showing up under my NBC on demand station.

[Rivers17ncsu]

it isn't supposed to start until March 1st, but I've seen places where you can download the first episode online.


Edit: For some reason the first episode was made available on Itunes & Hulu on Feb 16th

[Sharkweather]

Premiering in two minutes.

I have mild expectations.

[Rivers17ncsu]

I guess Im the only one who still watches this? Though I guess it is pointless now that it is cancelled

[Rivers17ncsu]

I thought the same thing, I thought it has been solid so far and as you said the storyline is getting really good. It has potential to be even better, then they cancel it. I was pissed when I found out.
