Nice effects though.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Overall this was a great series. Plot twists were great and every episode kept me guessing which reality was the right reality. In the end... some things I found predictable but the final show was definitely unexpected.This series didn't get a full 10 out of 10 because I felt like the series ended abruptly. Like the writers had intended to take the series along to another season but didn't get the chance for some reason. Probably canceled before anyone had time to discover it. But the last episode felt rushed and kind of like a giant kick in the Balls. I mean if I had balls.If you've ever watched family guy and seen the two part episode "Stewie Kills Lois" it's kinda like that. No real explanation for everything that happens just an ending. A good ending mind you... just not being filled with much to make sense of.Still I would dub this series as a must watch, your brain will never get so much exercise save watching Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch.

Jason Isaacs (Britten) carries the show with an impeccable performance; without it the show would have failed. Laura Allen and Dylan Minnette are convincing as the wife and son; Steve Harris and Wilmer Valderrama play Britten's partners in the different realities. The really enjoyable performances are delivered by BD Wong and Cherry Jones as Britten's therapists. It is in these scenes the show shines. The dialogue is excellent and serves as a counterweight to the (only somewhat) more traditional crime and family story lines. The show is refreshing in its originality, the story lines and most of the dialogue is, as far as I can tell, excellent craftsmanship, and great acting brings every episode home. In fact, the show has thus far shone brighter with every episode. I have long awaited a show like this, and it is by far the most interesting _new_ TV-series this year.

This 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".)

I watched one episode.Usually you can get a feel for a program quite quickly.The production style and general theme seemed a bit like Lie To Me, and was similarly hoping to play on having a 'unique' slant.The supporting actors seemed to be second rate and very stereotypical.The premise is interesting. The show wasn't.All the premise seems to mean is having two crimes to solve each week/episode with some commonality in the clues.Whopee.Nice try; but no cigar.
