A sci-fi drama following an unlikely trio who set out to save the world after 15 years of darkness.


15 years ago, the world's power shut off. Computers, phones, lights, cars, airplanes - everything suddenly went black without explanation.

Fast forward to present day, where a strong-willed young woman named Charlie, along with her uncle and a rogue band of survivors, set out to rescue her brother, overthrow the militia, and re-establish the United States of America.

Along the way, they explore the mystery of why the power failed, and if it will ever return.

Revolution is great show. I have been waiting for idea like this forever. Show needs to slowdown it's missing key aspects to a great running series. One of things that losing is character development. I love Charlie but she can't just become this none emotional bad ass hero chick that not believable, but worse she can't develop any further. Charlie she be scared, afraid, worried. I would like her to be almsot like Katniss everdeen in the hunger games. Katniss powerful, but she also vulnerable. I don't get me wrong Tracy Spiridakos is gorgeaous andd has unique look and like her. Charlie seems fake when she needs to be real. Miles also is too much of hero. Him and Nora she not jsut wi nevery battle so easily. Aron he needs to have more. Aron is to stiff, he needs to be involved in the story.
The biggest problem now is that the story is moving to quick. This show may be about world losing power and turning back on, but the elements is surviving skills of the people , hsitorical buildings, old weapons. Audience wants to feel likes it back in revolutionary times. Now the show just shows fighting in old warehouses and dark night shots. This show need to enforece that old hsitorical time period feel to this show. Revolution needs show the white house, victorians, horse wagons. People living in th woods surving off the land like the boys taht charlie found in one of teh earlier episodes.
Revolution needs to look a walking dead and lost. Walking is great show not because of dead zombies. It's great because you see a theme develop around the plot line and characters change. People want watch how these people survive each other not just the zombies. Same with Lost. If abc just said they find way off the island then the show would been cancelled. ABC worked carefully developing the emotions each character and focused on them surviving on that island and making each character important. Like survivor. Revolution is great show i want it to stick around, but it can't be so obvious. All in all with ratings we will see this show again, but even how grapic FOX the following is. The following is more creative, mysterious and allways something you don't know yet. The Following and Kevin Bacon beats Revolution.

For all the negative comments I am surprised at the ratings, looks like it is one of the top shows. I have enough curiosity to want to watch it. Glad it will get a full season. MKL

I believe this series is based on Terri Blackstock's Restoration Series, True Light, Dawn's Light these are great books, especially on audio books.

I suspended a whole lot of disbelief and made an effort to not think too much in order to enjoy this show. That said, if we ever did loose all our electricity and electronics nothing like this "aftermath" would ever occur because all our nuclear power plants would melt down and most of us would be dead! I would love to see them address this issue in the show.

Terrible acting, too many plot holes, no direction... can't wait until this show is cancelled! Would rather watch reruns of America's Funniest Home Videos than this...

I love revolution and perhaps they need a few more science geeks to help work out the kinks but otherwise the acting is not that bad. I have defiantly seen worse. Just pick any 1980's B movie and you'll know what I mean. I hope they renew it for another season. I like the unique take on the Apocalypse. Alien invasions, nuclear war, viral epidemics have been done to death. Although I still love the walking dead and falling skies.
