Awake

Episode Reviews | Cast |

After a tragic car accident, Detective Michael Britten lives two lives: one in a universe in which his son survived, another in a universe in which his wife did. Although short-lived, Awake gets our wholehearted recommendation: it is a deeply affecting show that successfully combines procedural elements, a dose of mythology, and a beautiful attention to emotional details.
