A drama following a man caught between two realities.
Since his car accident, detective Michael Britten's mind has created two realities in which his wife survived in one and his son survived in the other. At any given moment, he is not sure if he is awake or asleep - one minute he's awake with his wife, and at the blink of an eye he is awake with his son. With people in both realities assuring him he is not dreaming, he must now try and find out which reality - if any - is real.

I love "thinking persons" shows, but I think, because of shows like Lost, people are burnt out on dedicating time and energy to shows that promise to give you the answer to the "Why?" and then never really get around to it. Awake is always advertised like we're gonna get some big reveal that might clue us in on what's happening, but the episodes end up being quick one liners that don't offer anything.

I agree with rye - this is a thinking man's show. unfortunately, and this comes as njo surprise, many viewers prefer the intellectual equivalent of beer rather than champagne which of course is reflected in much of the reality show drivel and "entertainment" variety rubbish on the air. Those of us who do appreciate unique shows like Awake and Touch view them as a breath of fresh air in the endless stagnant sea of banality that is largely what network television is.

Unique storyline, well acted, networks don't do this show justice. Promote more people will watch. Stupid Jersey Show gets renewed and good shows that make you think gets canned, MAKES NO SENSE!

This could end up being just another cop show with a twist like life on mars and ashes to ashes, right now i'm really enjoying it, Kinda worried that the conspiracy element might end up being really dumb, but it would be real neat if we discovered toward to end when they're rapping up the series that his wife and his son were experiencing the same thing.

This is actually a bad show which doesn't flow very well. This show is actually replacing the time slot that The Firm had which has been moved to Saturdays and will eventually be cancelled. Oddly, The Firm, while produced poorly in my opinion, was still more entertaining than Awake will ever be. You're right about Awake being cancelled next, it's doomed.

This show is a thinking persons show! With all the crap that continues to be renewed I imagine it will be cancelled. Please people do all of us who want to watch a good show a favor and start watching one! Two episodes and its great so far!
