Awake

A new TV series has started over in the states on the NBC network which looks intriguing:



The premise is that a man, a police detective, has a car accident in which a member of his family is killed. When he recovers, he switches between two realities when he sleeps, one in which his wife survived, and the other in which his son survived.

There was a similar series a while back called Journeyman, which involved time travel rather than alternate realities, that wasn't successful, so it remains to be seen whether this stays the course. With so little competition at the moment, though, it might survive, and it does look good.

Update: The show got five stars from SFX magazine this month.
