Awake

Summary of TV Show
Awake is an American television police procedural fantasy drama that originally aired on NBC for one season from March 1 to May 24, 2012. The pilot episode had an early release on Hulu on February 16, 2012, two weeks before the series' premiere on television. The show's central character is Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs), a detective who works for the Los Angeles Police Department. Kyle Killen, the series' creator, was primarily responsible for the program's concept; although he served as a writer, he avowed that writing episode scripts was difficult. Killen also served as an executive producer (with David Slade) of the pilot episode. Jeffrey Reiner and Howard Gordon then continued producing (with Killen) for Gordon's Teakwood Lane Productions.

Michael lives in two separate realities after a car accident. In one reality (where he wears a red wristband), his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) survives the accident; in the other reality (where he wears a green wristband), his son Rex (Dylan Minnette) survives. Michael does not know which reality is "real" and uses the wristbands to differentiate the two. He sees two therapists: Dr. Jonathan Lee (BD Wong) in the "red reality" and Dr. Judith Evans (Cherry Jones) in the "green reality". At work, Michael's erratic behavior triggers clashes with his team; they do not know about Michael's uncanny ability to solve crimes using details from both realities.

Awake averaged 4.8 million viewers per episode, ranking 125th in viewership for the 2011–12 season. A critical success, the cast of Awake was praised (particularly Isaacs' performance as Michael). Commentators claimed that "Say Hello to My Little Friend" was the best episode of the series since "Pilot". On May 11, after eleven of the thirteen produced episodes were aired, the show was cancelled due to low ratings (although NBC aired the remaining episodes in the series' original time slot). Fans of the show created a "Save Awake" campaign to convince networks to revive the show, which was ultimately unsuccessful. Awake has been nominated for one award.
