Synopsis

Michael lives in two separate realities after a car accident. In one reality, his wife Hannah survives the accident; in the other reality, his son Rex survives. Michael does not know which reality is "real", and uses the wristbands to differentiate the two. He sees two therapists: Dr. Jonathan Lee in the "red reality" and Dr. Judith Evans in the "green reality". At work, Michael's erratic behavior triggers clashes with his team; they do not know about Michael's uncanny ability to solve crimes using details from both realities.

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
aefaisal This is one of the best shows I've ever seen, wish it was longer.
Stootz97 First review ever on here because of this show. It was a great show, left viewers on a cliff hanger every episode. i couldn't stop watching it. The only reason I started it was because of the reviews stating it had solid ending even though it was canceled. I am writing for the first time on here to tell you it does not. This show was left for a plot in hopes of being picked up again. The director/writer of the series says they intentionally left it open-ended for the viewers to decide but that is nothing but a ploy for another broadcast agency to pick it up. Those types of finales never work. Look at the Soprano's....everyone knows better after that. The possibility for a great ending was there but it never happened. I've read all of the crazy possible "meanings" of the finale but I do not buy it. Awesome TV show but due to the ending I have to tell potential viewers don't waste your time. The finale will make you think about what you could of done with your time while watching it.
flyingtree-184-598230 This was a fantastic show. The premise should be rated a TEN in the difficulty area were TV script writing judged like Diving or Gymnastics. When they say a show "makes you think" this is the type of show they mean. Would be writers wonder "How could I keep these two scripts moving ahead in parallel week after week without stepping all over one another." Imagine how a TEAM of writers must struggle to coordinate with each other and nobody writes TV scripts alone in a garret like a lonely novelist in the 1800's. Read a good explication of all the shots and sound tracks needed to make a simple walk along conversation between two characters work fluidly without either the conversational thread getting lost or the viewer getting sea sick from all the viewpoints. Then consider this. This main character goes into his job and his house and everything about it must fit into a time line where EVERYTHING might be different, from the pictures on his desk to the dishes in the kitchen. Yet this show does all that while working well as a procedural crime detection show. He must solve murders in an environment where half the time the victim isn't dead.Maybe it's not that tricky why the decision makers say "How about a bunch of zombies running around eating people?" Makes my decision easy. Turn it off.
Kathleen Gaunt Bell I first heard about this show in early 2011 and I was immediately intrigued. Jason Isaacs was perfect as Michael Britten.I love well-done crime/forensic shows and this show had that and so much more. The crime/suspense themes in the show could have stood on their own, but the underlying thread of grief made it exceptional.I loved this show on so many levels it's difficult to describe. I would so dearly love to see it continue but it seems that when I truly love a show it doesn't make it to a second season (Flash Forward comes to mind). But even Flash Forward wasn't really in the same league as Awake.Save Awake! http://change.org/petitions/a-wake-up-nbc
