Awake recap – 1×13: ‘Turtles All The Way Down’

May 25, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After watching the season finale of Revenge Wednesday, I was certain that I had seen the craziest hour of television that the 2011-2012 season had to offer. Fast forward twenty-four hours and begin a slow-clap for Awake, a complicated show that never quite caught on. Last night touched on insane series finale territory as it somehow managed to answer questions but revealed nothing all at the same time. Let the great debate begin!

Awake recap – 1×11: ‘Say Hello To My Little Friend’

Well this is bittersweet. Literally half way through the episode, I received word from TVAngie that NBC had cancelled Awake (awkward!). It’s especially disappointing considering that ‘Say Hello To My Little Friend’ is easily one of the best episodes the series has produced thus far.

This week we get a big development on the baby front as Michael (Jason Isaacs) and Hannah (Laura Allen) consider adoption.

Awake recap – 1×09: ‘Game Day’

This week Awake tries to deliver a bombshell twist outside of its central mythology, but mostly comes up lacking. As much as I appreciate the effort to do something more with Michael’s (Jason Isaacs) personal life (outside of the case of the week), this…is not the direction that I would have chosen.

Awake recap – 1×08: ‘Nightswimming’

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’

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?
