NBC's "Awake"

Watched the pilot, then let the episodes stack up as my wife continued watching without me.

Finally decided I had to get busy watching or get busy deleting.

As of right now, I'm 4 episodes in. Thought that "Kate is Enough" was a cracking good hour of TV.

I'm buying Jason Issac's performance, though I still think he screened a couple of seasons of Rob Morrow in Numbers to come up with his (very credible) American accent. And I still keep waiting for Dobby to show up.

 

Unlike many teenagers in televised dramas (The Sopranos kids and the son on Breaking Bad come to mind), the son on this show is outstanding.

 

I'm really enjoying this show. Certainly well acted all around and the stories keep me hooked.

 

I've watched the first two episodes. The others are on my DVR. I don't know if I'm going to watch. I'm just tired of cops and lawyers and doctors.

The kid who plays the son played a son on LOST and the bully in the "Let Me In" remake. He's good.

 

A-ha. I knew I'd seen him somewhere before ...

 

Anybody notice that the most recent episode was shrink-free? We didn't get their take(s) on the overlapping "Palace" clue. And in one reality, Britton and his wife really do seem about to move to Portland. Maybe in that reality, he'll be hanging out with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.

 

I keep waiting for some follow up to the revelation that both his son AND wife are dead. What was that ... the second episode?

 

I did notice that. The son wasn't in the episode, either.

Strong episode for Laura Allen, who I'm starting to have a major thing for.

 

Really enjoying this show. Not huge on the conspiracy theory, but it is very well-acted. With the ratings, though, I'm afraid it's going to be like Allen's last show - Terriers - brilliant but cancelled.
BTW, she was great in Terriers and she's very good in this, too.

 

And it's canceled. Seriously, can't the networks hold onto a show for more than 13 episodes to try to develop a following? Ugh.

 

Maybe it will become like Southland, and some cable network like TNT or FX will pick it up. It's certainly better than a lot of the dramas on basic cable.

 

Terribly sorry to see this one go. Great show. I was a big fan of Laura Allen and Terriers as well. I figure the next show she's in I'll avoid. I'm sure it'll be great and get canceled after one season.
