Awake recap – 1×08: ‘Nightswimming’

April 20, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Awake hits the skids in a less than stellar episode that highlights the persistent issues I have with the show.

Awake recap – 1×07: ‘Ricky’s Tacos’

April 13, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

The week after Awake‘s best hour since the pilot, the show returns to the procedural rut. We do, however, also see a return to the conspiracy angle that’s gone unexplored since 1×02 ‘The Little Guy’. So where does this leave us?

Awake recap – 1×06: ‘That’s Not My Penguin’

April 6, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

I have a feeling that tonight’s episode of Awake, the thought provoking series about a man living two lives, is going to be rather polarizing. I quite liked it, not only because it wasn’t afraid to ask questions, but because it illustrates that the show is cognizant of the discussions that we, as viewers, are having about the nature of Michael’s (Jason Isaacs) double life.

Awake recap – 1×05: ‘Oregon’

After last week’s iffy episode, it pleases me to no end to see Awake rebound to heights unseen since its pilot as ‘Oregon’ proves to be quietly emotional. Oh sure, the police procedural component is familiar, but it is also exciting and reinforces some of the questions viewers have had about the series thus far.

Awake recap – 1×04: ‘Kate Is Enough’

March 23, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Another week of dual lives is upon us as Michael (Jason Isaacs) tries to understand his emotionally distant son, who has begun acting out…though if you’ve watched these in order, it’s not for the reasons that you expect.

Awake recap – 1×03: ‘Guilty’

March 17, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

In the wake of last week’s “mythology twist,” Awake delivers a mostly standalone case of the week that demonstrates how the series will likely sustain its premise moving forward.
