‘Awake’s Jason Isaacs Returns to TV For CBS’ ‘Surgeon General’
Last year we were overly disappointed to learn that despite most of the critical raves for film star Jason Isaacs' turn in the low-rated NBC drama 'Awake,' the network had officially decided to pull the plug on the series after 13 episodes. Now, we're learning that Isaacs will return to TV for yet another high-profile project, this time over at CBS, as the 'Harry Potter' franchise star steps up hi

‘Awake’ Series Finale Review: “Turtles All the Way Down”
‘Awake’ puts to bed in its thirteenth and final episode with “Turtles All the Way Down” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) desperately tries to find evidence of the conspiracy that claimed his wife and son in either reality, while convincing everyone around him of his sanity. With the series' cancellation confirming "Turtles All the Way Down"  to be not just a season, but series finale, it'

‘Awake’ puts a bullet in its twelfth episode with “Two Birds” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) finds himself on the trail of Detective Hawkins (Kevin Weisman), learning in both realities just how deep the conspiracy to kill him and his family goes.  There’s only one more week until the season (now confirmed to be series) finale, and “Two Birds” gives us our strongest case yet for why we've been rob

Sigh.  With life, must come death.  An especially aggravating death considering NBC's 'Whitney' just got renewed for a second season and Dane Cook just picked up his own series on the network, but death nonetheless.  It would seem that in spite of a small ratings upturn and measured critical praise of the series, 'Awake' will not see another day.  Along with four other NBC comedies down, the netwo

‘Awake’ Review: “Say Hello to My Little Friend”
‘Awake’ runs off the road its eleventh episode in “Say Hello to My Little Friend” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) finds himself unable to wake in his son's reality, and plagued by a mysterious hallucination (Kevin Weisman) who isn't much help in solving Britten's latest case.  There's only one more episode until the season (likely series) finale, and “Say Hello to My Little Friend” should make the

‘Awake’ dreams up its tenth episode in “Slack Water” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) and Hannah meet with their son's pregnant girlfriend Emma to see how involved they could be, while Britten investigates a robbery that isn't what it seems.  There are only two more episodes until the season (possibly series) finale, and “Slack Water” doesn't really work much toward any over-arching plot, but once a

‘Awake’ dreams up its ninth episode in “Game Day” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) finds himself investigating the divergent results of a football game that caused a murder in one reality, and an arson investigation in the other.  Things are once again looking pretty procedural up until the ending, but “Game Day” isn't lacking for the intriguing drama and strong performances that ‘Awake' delivers

‘Awake’ stirs up its eighth episode in “Nightswimming” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) finds himself relocating a couple through witness protection, while dealing with his wife Hannah's eagerness to move to Oregon in the other reality. The action is pretty lacking this week, but "Nightswimming" does continue the rich thematic character development the series has been known to build for ‘A

‘Awake’ orders up  its seventh episode in “Ricky's Tacos” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) finds himself pushed into an old case that somehow ties into his car accident, while investigating a teen girl's suicide and a body found encased in solid concrete.  The conspiracy aspect of the series might not all be there yet, but "Ricky's Tacos" at least earns credit for attempting to bring 'Aw

‘Awake’ Review: “That’s Not My Penguin”
‘Awake’ injects us with its sixth episode in “That's Not My Penguin” where Britten (Jason Isaacs) finds himself in a hostage situation in one reality, only to be knocked out and forced to look for clues in the other, all the while confronting his own psychosis.  Yet another strong, contemplative balance of intellectual with procedural, “That's Not My Penguin” is another strong example of why ‘
