Awake

            Are you looking for a show to watch on Thursday night? Well you’re in luck because NBC has launched a new show called Awake which has began airing a few weeks ago. The show has captured over four million fans all ready in the first opening of the series. Maynard High School Mystery and Horror class is actually following the show week by week to analyze the show and come up with ideas for an up coming project. Right now the show is on its third episode and will be on at 10 o’clock at night.

            Now you’re probably thinking why someone might be interested in watching this series? Well the show holds a very unique storyline, plot, and cast. “Awake” is set during modern time and deal with a man having one major mysterious conflict. The main character Michael has suffered from a horrific car accident in which his son and wife were involved in. Now this may seem at first like a rehashed plot but there’s much more to it than that. After the car accident, Michael wakes up one day and his wife perished after the accident but his son lived. The twist in the series is that when he falls back to sleep, Michael wakes up sleeping with his wife and his son has died. Right now there are many theories that are brought to the viewers’ attention but their still not enough evidence to persecute which one may be correct. I have read other reviews about the show and comments and I have compiled a list of theories which you can find at the end of the review. Awake keeps the fan well awake the whole entire hour and entangles he/she from either changing the channel or walking away from the TV and doing something else.

            The cast of character are played by very talented actors/actresses. I can at least see this show running for four seasons with many plot twist that will keep the viewer watching. If you happen to be bored one Thursday night or anytime during the week, I would highly suggest it to give it a try, and if you don’t feel like its your cup of tea well there are plenty of other great shows on NBC like the Office.
