I watched the debut episode of "Awake" last night.

For those that aren't aware of the show, it's about a person living his life across two parallel realities after a traumatic accident.
There's numerous reasons/theories throughout the course of the show as to why the protagonist is experiencing this - and it's quite thought provoking.
It also has elements of the run-of-the-mill crime drama, though makes it interesting with each reality slightly bleeding into the other.

Well acted on all parts, a few familiar faces from Lost, The Practice, that 70's show, the 4400 and the main character himself is of Harry Potter films among other things.
It's got characters that I find myself giving a shit about, and a compelling storyline in which I find myself torn between which reality I want to believe is the "real" one.

It's actually a bit of a tear jerker...deals with pretty devastating loss, and what seems to be a gradual descent into either madness or despair for the main character, ha, didn't think I'd feel for a character as such.

But yeah overall I'm finding it to be a pretty solid concept, and while not treading entirely unfamiliar ground, is doing what it's doing quite well.
Great musical score too.

I'd recommend having a look at the first episode.

Plenty of torrents up of the first ep.
Honestly, check it out.
