Awake is a new midseason offering from NBC that tells the
story of Detective Michael Britten, a man who, after a terrible accident, finds
himself drifting back and forth between two different realities. In one world, a car crash has killed his wife
and in another the same crash kills his son.
In both worlds, he loses
a loved
one and in both he must try to help a loved one to grieve. The change between realities occurs when he
tries to go to sleep so Michael dons a green bracelet to let him know he is in
one world and a red for the other. I
thought the pilot showed a lot of promise, but in the interest of fair
journalism I decided to correspond with a version of myself from another
reality that
did not like the show. He will take on the moniker of Red Ryan and I will go by Green Ryan.
