    This is one of the best show i ever watched! None of the show out there give me so much deep thought like this one. It's not only the story of a man who dealing with the lost of family, it's about choices and making desicion. This make me think alot of myself too, "What if?"....

    Cancelling this awesome show is the biggest mistake of NBC, Well I'm not talking about if they're run out of ideas for the story line. SAVE AWAKE!!moreless

  • Brilliant!

    Watched the entire season in one day. Couldn't stop watching as it was thrilling and intriguing the entire season. I'm really disappointed that they ended the show as there are very few shows out there these days which are so unique and well written.

    The ending leaves a lot of questions unanswered but still gives you some closure. Considering that they only had one season, I'd say they summed up the story very well in the time given.

    If you're considering whether not to watch it due to the fact it was canceled, then I would highly recommend watching it regardless as it is definitely worth the watch.moreless

    The first time I saw this my reaction was that Kyle Killen is a genius. I loved the show and am shocked they canceled it.

  • Just Right

    When I started watching this I was afraid they would waste the potential and just do a run of the mill cop show. Boy was I wrong. Every episode does something completely new and fresh. The setup is realy interesting and I still wonder how some of it is supposed to work technically but that does not take away from this superb show. I think it was just right when it comes to number of episodes. Not that they couldn't have made more but there wasn't anything lacking either. It felt finished in a good way.moreless
