Review of Awake

This pilot was solid. It was not ground-breaking to me, but it was a show which has a lot of potential for growth, as long as they keep the sappiness to a minimum. This is essentially a cop procedural show with a hint of inception. The premise is that the main character is living two lives, one with his wife dead and one with his son dead, while the other remains alive in each respective timeline. He does not know which one he is really awake in. The show does some cools things with this, like having two cases, two psychiatrists, and the previously mentioned alternating characters with the alternating timelines. It has some potential, but it also wasn't awe-inspiring.
