Awake Review: Everything in Every Way

Awake Review: Everything in Every Way:

Therefore, Awake has to be given its due credit. It seems nothing on the show is left to chance. Every word has a purpose, every case serves the characters (rather than the other way around), every plot point that seems simple enough ends up having multiple offshoots that build and enrich the story in ways that aren’t imagined.

WORDS: "Awake" is Transforming Lives:

mywritingdesk:

Last week Awake reminded us all what our beloved show is really about. At its core Awake isn’t about drive-thru omens and imaginary penguins. It’s not about sideways-living serial killers or dueling psychiatrists. And like it or not, whether played out by the actors or played out by the fans,…

5 Reasons Why NBC’s Awake Deserves a Second Season

5 Reasons Why NBC’s Awake Deserves a Second Season:

mywritingdesk:

I’d like to say that if you haven’t heard of NBC’s Awake, you’ve been living under a rock, but alas, that isn’t true. Though met with relatively enthusiastic reviews from critics, the Jason Isaacs vehicle debuted to a sleepy start on Thursday, March 1^st and has been on a steady ratings decline since. Despite its struggle with the ratings, I believe that Awake deserves to be renewed – and here’s why.

The Full Meal Deal

mywritingdesk:

As we drive-thru the halfway mark of Awake’s inaugural season, back-story and character building take the fore as action and pacing sit comfortably constrained in the backseat. After two previous action-packed episodes (Oregon, That’s Not My Penguin), Awake’s story makers have once again given us a morsel of mystery to sink our teeth into – Ricky’s Tacos.

The story of a man dreaming in two realities has now become the “full meal deal”. When most television procedurals are serving viewers nothing more than cheesy clues and refried story arcs, last Thursday’s Awake gave us a heaping-helping of ‘a Chicken Burrito; no sour cream and a large iced tea’! I don’t know about you, but I love what Kyle Killen and this team of writer’s is cooking up each week. There is real substance to what they’re serving us; this isn’t your run-of-the-mill TV dinner.

Dining on Awake each week will give you that refreshingly full feeling yet you’ll still be hungering for more. There are so many delightful dishes on their ever-expanding menu that a distinguished prime-time television coinsurer would be crazy not to return for more. If you haven’t tried the taste of Awake here are but two masterful menu items you might have missed:

Mr. Britten’s Penguins (Michael takes a nap)

“Explain to me: What exactly is so great about seeing reality, for what it is?”

Once upon a time, there was a Los Angeles Police Detective named Michael Britten. One day Mr. Britten and his family had an accident. After the accident Mr. Britten couldn’t sleep. In fact, he never slept again. Sometimes he was awake with his wife, other times he was awake with his son. Mr. Britten was always awake!

One sunny LA morning, Detective Britten and his partner Detective Vega responded to a disturbance at a psychiatric hospital. A crazy man named Gabe had made a bomb and threatened to blow up the hospital and his hostages. Mr. Britten didn’t want that to happen so he went inside the hospital to talk to the crazy man. He hoped he could get him to release the hostages and not blow the place to smithereens.

While inside, Gabe, the crazy man hit Mr. Britten on the head. For the first time in a long time, Mr. Britten finally gets some Z’s. Actually, it was more like a quick power nap. A short time later, when Mr. Britten woke up, the bad man gave him a shot with a great big needle, right in the heart. The medicine was called ketamine.

Similar to all medications, this medicine can help people, but when too much is used a person might start to see things that aren’t really there. Like say – penguins.

Now in the Green world, while Mr. Britten is talking to Detective “Bird” on the phone, Mr. Britten sees a penguin. “That’s not my penguin,” Mr. Britten says. Tilting his head he wonders: Just whose penguin is it?
