  • What a beautiful show.

  • The twist that he's the one who's dead or in a coma might make sense if this show was focused on the sci-fi aspect of it. I actually think it's a more of a focused character study about a man dealing with death in an extraordinary way. Final Prediction: he finds out someone caused the car wreck on purpose, seeks revenge/redemption, finds out his wife is the one that's actually dead, and comes to terms with it peacefully as he falls asleep for the final episode with a resolute smile on his face.

  • I just saw the preview for the next episode, and he wakes up and both his wife and son are at the breakfast table, so now I'm really confused !!!

  • @Dumassmetard Could be a flashback.

  • Its going to turn out he's in a coma

  • The first episode was amazing. If this show gets cancelled before it ends, I will make my own alternate universe where the show is still going on.

  • @NARNIAisEPIC ... I wish the writers would at least be given rights to publish the story if the show does get cancled.

  • Wow, I just finished watching this and its amazing. Truly for anyone looking for an amazing show.

  • If he had his wand, he could cast a spell & figure everything out. Oh yeah, he's not Lucious Malfoy in this! Darn! lol

  • almost on!!!

  • the freaking season preview makes you wanna sleep and wake up next thursday!!!!!

  • omg the cute boy is the bully from let me in

  • i swear the son's the earless boy from that one grey's anatomy episode..

  • @foxclaw21 from Lost as well...

  • Why can't it be a movie!?!? Darn you not-cable!

  • consciousness is a bitch.

  • what the background song?

  • OH YEA THE MAIN FEMALE ROLE WAS IN MY FAMILY'S HOUSE!!! SHE IS OUR NEIGHBOURS DAUGHTER IN LAW!!!!

  • @trampb3ast ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

  • I think a little Inception will solve his condition. We must go deeper!

  • he is probably the one that is dead not his wife or kid

  • I just watched this on Hulu, and it is very good. This is a show that I can really get into, and that says a lot, considering I haven't gotten into any shows in quite some time. A few things I had to back up and play again (the perks of Hulu) to really understand them, but otherwise it was very emotional and compelling. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

  • @juanego totally right. this looks awesome

  • this is basically a ripoff of Passion of Mind. Two realities, she doesn't know which one is real, she wakes up in one world, goes to sleep and wakes up in another. Same thing.

  • I predict in the end, he's the one dead. x_x

  • SPOILER! He's actually in a coma... if that's how this ends, then I am clearly TV material.

  • how much you wanna bet neither of them are real

  • Damn what if the both didnt survive and he is living in some twisted world wow! I REALLY MUST SEE THIS!!

  • My son has seen it and says it's excellent. Looking forward to seeing it myself tonight.

    Jason Issacs played a detective on a BBC series - it was pretty good too.

  • Oooookaaaaaaay this ish looks pretty LEGIT. Better be good!!! !@#$#@

  • i mean its great that this is a show, but the idea is definitely not original. The Circle novel series by Ted Dekker already encapsulated the idea of being in two different universes every time the main character fell asleep, and woke up in the other dimension. still think its good though.

  • @sohumd96 most days man nothing is really original. Just who ever can tell it good.

  • read it as Alan wake. If only it became an actual show/movie

  • so watching it ♥ can't wait!

  • Hey guys, Hulu has the first episode up

  • GET THIS SHOW ON NOW

  • @freakingusername Its already on Hulu :D

  • i would pik mi kids i mean they still have a life 2 live so like yeah id miss mi husband but id rather have mi kid alive so they cn live a happy life and also well i would have gave my life 4 both of em 2 live

  • i would pik mi kids i mean they still have a life 2 live so like yeah id miss mi husband but id rather have mi kid alive so they cn live a happy life and also well i would have gave my life 4 both of em 2 live

  • He's probably in a coma from the accident and has fabricated both worlds.

  • @jlkirtland That's my guess too. Looking forward to watching tonight.

  • @jlkirtland I was just thinking the exact same thing

  • @jlkirtland My thoughts exactly

    

  • @jlkirtland It would be funny if one of the writers saw your comment and said "FUUUUUUUUUUUUU......" XD

  • @jlkirtland yeah i thought so too.l kinda like how Lost ended. XD

  • @jlkirtland Probably. That's what I would think.

  • @jlkirtland atleast its original, looks really good

  • @jlkirtland that's exactly what i thought

  • and in reality they are both dead?:X

    i dont think a coma can fabricate new faces

  • @jlkirtland or may be the accident created an alternate universe. With different realities.

  • Is the song: To Build A Home - Cinematic Orchestra? I think it is, but I'm not sure.

  • @xangryyemmiix158 You are correct sir!

  • they have released the first full episode online

  • amazing show!

  • Ukulele.

    

  • no accent?

  • this show is gonna end by his in a coma

  • wow... a major network my actually get a quality show. That is rare these days

  • watched it a couple nights ago....very good! how long it can last, who knows, will NBC eff it up? probably in some way, sadly. think of cobb from inception many many years later, he gets in an accident like this, and there you go! excited to see more of this great show!

  • @secretneo1 glad its good, thanks for the feedback, but everything you said basically we saw in a trailer X D, only difference is tonight we will see it in a fourty minute version turn into a hour fused with commercials

  • IT'S TONIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS! :)

  • DYLANN!!!!!! <333333333333333

  • wow that is pretty crazy. good idea for a show.

  • seems interesting

  • That's some deeeep shit for nbc

  • he is the one who is dead....

    

  • can't wait!!!!!

  • "The most original idea on television"?--Oh please...this is "Lost" and "The Matrix"--lives existing in several layers at the same time.--combined and rehashed. Original my ass.

  • @newphx KINDLY FUCK OFF.

  • @newphx The Matrix is based on Plato's Allegory of the Cave, where people don't see reality but just shadows, being blind from the truth. Basically portraying ignorance in a extreme way. In this show he isn't ignorant but he's been handicapped, but he uses this handicap into his favor to solve crimes meanwhile having to grip two alternate realities that is continuously switching back and forth but not knowing so. Geez, open up a box or something.

  • Lol was that Jack Shepard's son?

  • I don't think anyone would want to let a loved one go, if they were still able to see them

  • all I can say is...wow.

  • i never saw it advertised besides today either and im deff gunna watch this, i feel like all the good shows end because they were never advertised which resulted in very few people knowing about them

  • Calling it right now, this show will win awards

  • This will get confusing ....Real fast 

  • Lucius Malfoy should never have stolen the Weasley's flying car

  • Why the hell didn't I see this advertised? Thankfully I did today.. and it airs tonight.

  • You can watch it online. Ign has a link for it. Good show I'll definitely keep watching it. Only thing that sucks about it, I can't get over the fact fez from that 70's show is the guys partner. He still has the fucking accent lol.

  • @DakKatarr I was a good 35 mins in2 it when I realize this smh

  • what if he pulled an all nighter?? Don´t sleep and just stay awake. Like bill murray should´ve done in "Groundhog day". Still, looks like a great show.

  • @Lionheartpride or like nick cage should have done in Family Man

  • i just came back from my first driving lesson! then i turn this on 5 minutes after getting back home....and see this....

  • so sad ._.

  • the conversations between Varys and Littlefinger (game of thrones) alone can create a show within a show, and it would still be 100 times better than this one.

  • It didn't even air yet and how can you say it suck?

  • @studystrike ignore trolls

  • This show sucks.

  • @dellthinker Why?

  • @38Thirtyeight38 well i watched it on Hulu, and the plot is basically he's living in a fantasy where his wife is alive in one life and son dead, and wife dead and son alive. The story is leading up to him being in some sort of coma while he dreams about this. Also, the car accident he had led up to these fantasies. So yeah, this is why i don't watch regular TV shows and stick to cable shows now.

  • @dellthinker Only you are just pulling that out of your ass and don't actually know and are just guessing the future reveal. Go ahead stick to cable shows.

  • @Carcrafter7 Eat a dick douche bag. I will stick to cable shows because they're not for sesame street hippy vegans like you.

  • @dellthinker the hunt for Carcrafter7's comment begins!

  • Lucious Malfoy XD

  • Hello to Jason Isaacs.

  • (part 0/4)

    Keep Your EyE out for this One:

    AWAKE

    Pertains to a "crazy" Truth of the Times.

    A Real Mind-Opening Perspective Take.

    Though PLEASE do not pay much attention to the words they leave you, the audience with; "I have NO desire to EVER make Progress", says the Father/Husband joyously experiencing All aspects of Being; being with his son in one reality, and his wife in another... HAH!!!

  • (part 2/4)

    This results in a very interesting, Telling, and disillusive message to viewers on such an interesting topic, with the final words to mark the understanding of the premise dissuading viewers from actually further delighting in the search for Truth and Progress in Reality, and to rather, simply stay bogged down without improvement, or even the willingness to improve. At least in terms of the split-consciousness/split-time­line reality of the 'show'.

  • Good pilot

  • Good night...... I SAID GOOD NIGHT !

  • lol - i was just watching this guy in The Tuxedo, on TBS, last night

  • OMG I'm blown away! Gotta see this now.

  • allow me to spoil the end probably. both the worlds are fake and he has been in a coma the entire time. both of them died and he is stuck in a hospital for months/years on end. after he wakes up he finds out that he's been fired due to the fact that he hasn't shown up to work. his medical bills bankrupt him and he's left alone, poor and miserable.

    probably.

  • This is the same type of concept as the Circle series by Ted Dekker...

  • Finally something to keep be busy until True Blood! 

  • Such a fantastic idea.

  • This movie reminded me a lot like "premonition" 2007 file starring sandra bullock

  • Looks good I needed something to replace rescue me :(

  • Give me chuck back!

  • Coming out tomorrow :)

  • anyone know what this song is called?

  • @wannabelikethat song is called "To build a home" by The Cinematic Orchestra album Ma Fleur

  • Am I dreaming, or is a GOOD show finally coming on television tomorrow?

  • @krm3396 Dexter, Misfits (season 1+2), Supernatural, Game Of Thrones, The Walking Dead. There are PLENTY of good shows.

  • @krm3396 most of the reviews are positive

  • He plays bad guys so this is new

  • Sanity is overrated.

  • @MegaAntman22 What is it anyway? Hard to define. Well, outside the most obvious definition.

  • Looks promising, but I can't help but feel that it's going to try and pull some over the top twist ending at the end of every season. Hopefully not, I'll be tuning in anyways!

  • Is this Lost season 7 ??

  • FUCK! I was writing a book that was just like this I have been working on it for a damn month!!!! :S

  • omg why doesn't he just pinch himself

  • @HappyGuy00000 If you watch the show, you'll see that he does more than pinch himself.

  • @TheReturnofOctobot i saw it all he did was pinch him self

  • @HappyGuy00000 *Light spoilers*

    Only if you consider repeatedly slapping yourself and then cutting your hand a "pinch."

  • @TheReturnofOctobot i said i saw it

  • @HappyGuy00000 You said he only pinched himself. And if you mean the spoiler warning, you aren't the only one reading the comments here.

  • @TheReturnofOctobot he also slapped himself and oh well on the spoilers

  • @HappyGuy00000 Um, I mentioned the slapping.

  • @HappyGuy00000 *sigh*

  • @TheReturnofOctobot you have to much time on your hands

  • @HappyGuy00000 He does something far more extreme than that. he cuts hes hand open with a knife.

  • @MegaAntman22 i know i saw it

  • @HappyGuy00000 You can feel pain in dreams just as you would in real life so that would not help anything. plus, that would defeat the purpose of having the show haha

  • @monsterbfcisgood Agreed. When I was a kid I had a dream where a gorilla bashed in my stomach with both fists. It hurt so bad it made me convulse out of my sleep state. Two minutes later I threw up all over the place.

  • @HappyGuy00000 he bloody slaps himself at 3:25 LOL

  • @HappyGuy00000 He does cut himself but that doesn't exactly work out.

  • @Carcrafter7 how many times do i have to tell people i already saw it

  • season premiere

    

  • I love Jason Isaacs. I love this soundtrack as well, same soundtrack used in the film Another Earth.. awesome, depressing movie

  • This song is 'To Build A Home' By Cinematic Orchestra in the beginning with the piano. D:

  • This is a movie right? i got confused cuz of the NBC sign at the end

  • @phaaltuwaaltu season premiere...just got it on house md at the end of the episode there was a spot to watch this awake season premiere!

  • seriously think this would make a great mini-series instead of a tv series. With tv series you don't know when it'll end, and the plot of the story has to come full circle in order for the whole thing to work. With the concept for awake, one I absolutely love, it feels better if it was a mini-series with carefully timed progression and a set ending. I feel that'll make a greater impact, and if it was me, the big reveal at the end is that he's in a coma, and his wife and son are alive next to him

  • Total copy of inception

  • @strawberry135798 not really inception is many dreams within a dream and if u die in a dream u keep going into the other persons dream

  • Wow that's kinda sad I don't know what I'd do if that happens to me :'l

  • Some idiot just ruined the ending for me. Glad for the Flag For Spam button.

  • @EmbraceMe711 No one knows the ending....

  • Use a totem.

  • @donnytony Maybe it is his rubber bands? D:

  • @donnytony Funny... Before 'totems' were created - I tattooed AWAKE to my left wrist for that exact reason. Reality check. Lucid dreams. Text is broken/irregular. I've been living like I'm dead for years. Does anything matter? It's all a moment. Dead or alive.

  • I love me some Jason Isaacs. But am I the only one that this is the same premise as the Julia & Julia (Kathleen Turner, Sting)

  • Im so lost....

  • @tdot4life15 Any questions?

  • @tdot4life15 Jason Isaacs has a son and wife, he gets into an accident and then gets put into two realities, one where his wife died and the second where his son died.

  • Trust me when it comes to letting one of them go I have no desire to ever make progress. I would say the exact same thing if this was happening to me.

  • Oh my God... this is soo intelligent. But really, I started watching just because of Dylan Minnette.

  • Ever once in a while you see a premise that is so good that you hate yourself for not thinking of it

  • @EpicBeard815 That's exactly what I was thinking yesterday when I heard of this show. EXACTLY.

  • I've already seen the pilot on Hulu Plus. It's a good. Very creative.

  • I can't help but smile each time I'd hear about "Awake". I'm so happy to hear Jason Issac (from Harry Potter movies) is playing the lead in this show. Yet, the main reason for me smiling is that it reminds me of the BBC version of "Life on Mars" as far as the allure, the mysterious sense of being. I can still hear the intro from LOM, "...I'm Sam Tyler, I had an accident and I woke up in 1973. Am I made, in a coma or back in time..." I sure hope Awake become a Smash hit. Good Luck

  • Probably the best trailer I've ever seen in my life. Shit....stop throwing dust in my eyes stupid ninjas.

  • My theory is that Chuck Norris kills both his son and wife, and takes him to another dimension.
