Awake

Uhhh slightly. Prettier than Rebecca Black, imo. I'm liking these "tiny differences" that differentiate the worlds.

 

[Icealote]

Yes she is prettier. I had to look twice because I was hitting micro sleep but wanted to watch the whole episode before bed XD

I wonder how the development of

Spoiler

Rex's baby

is going to affect each dream.

 

[chyyran]

I just finished watching the first episode..

I have to say, it's pretty awesome.

It's kind of like The Mentalist with a twist, but that's just me IMO

Hate to disappoint, but I doubt the show will make it past the season 1 finale... Ratings are so incredibly low that I believe it will be cancelled. My suspicions as to why that is, it would be caused by the show focusing moreso on the cop/crime areas and neglecting the whole 2 reality areas.
I'm not saying that the 2 realities aren't used throughout each episode but only to a minimal extent of solving a case.

I can agree with that, sadly. They're trying to make it more episodic with touches of plot development instead of every episode being necessary to the plot.

 

[Icealote]

Yes writers these days tend to drift away from the plot... writing off tangents and then slowly coming back to the plot and by the time that happens...you may be right that it be cancelled. All I do know is that the finale should be extended according to its direct facebook page updates.

 

[chyyran]

You know, its too bad.. It seems unlikely that many questions will be answered..

I just hope Touch doesn't suffer the same fate..

Hey, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... well, I come bearing some bad news: NBC has decided to cancel Awake.

 

[jumpman17]

Son of a...! Almost always, my new favorite show of the year is canned.

2006 - Jericho (I know it got a second season, but only after it was cancelled)
2007 - Journeyman and The Dresden Files (Introduced me to the amazing books at least)
2009 - FlashForward
2012 - Awake

I'm sure there are more, but those are just off the top of my head.

EDIT: Genre shows just don't get any love on main network channels. And with Sci-Fi, sorry, Syfy, now cancelling/ending more of their shows, there is hardly anything left.

 

[Icealote]

Greattt... another decent tv series down the hole. Now we are going to get more shitty reality tv series that mindless people enjoy.

 

[notmeanymore]

Cancellations have been reversed, but personally I blame the people who didn't give the show a chance, writing it off as another detective show.

Been reversed? As in, renewed instead?

 

[luke_c]

I like the show but along with others I felt it spent too many episodes focusing on Britton's daily life as a detective, instead of the dilemmas he faces keeping the two realities which has only started to take place the last few episodes.

Lately I just noticed how most TV series are slowly building it up. Like what you said it focused too much on detective stuff, then throws a biscuit of what's really happening behind the scenes in the last 15-10 minutes of the episode. Now with recent episodes, its getting better but now its far too late =.= They're writing similar styles for the likes of Supernatural and Grimm. So slow on build up except I know Supernatural's getting season 8!

I did actually watch a few episodes before coming to that conclusion.. I do apologise for not enjoying it

 

[notmeanymore]

Ho ly shit.

Awake continues to blow my mind. I can't even imagine how they'd have a second season after this anyway, so I guess it's not such a terrible thing it's cancelled as long as the season finishes.

 

[Icealote]

I agree its fucking great.. the beginning of the season finale (well the end of it). I just came to the conclusion in this episode that Britton's character reminds me of the latest installment of Max Payne 3. I reckon he could pull it off even if he shaved his head bald

So, after temporarily dropping the series, I decided to catch up, watched 10,11 and 12 all in one hit and WOW!
That was absolutely incredible...
When is 13 due out?
IMDB states it was a double airing whereas wikipedia states the next (and final) is next week...
