This is my first review, did not consider reviewing any shows since almost everyone disagrees, but let's agree to disagree :)
My eyes were glued to the screen while i was watching the pilot and every single second of it, i did love.
Why? Because it's something new and believe me i have watched too many TV shows to be easily impressed by a new one, since its almost always the same "stuff" BUT..
Awake - did it, it impressed me. I'm highly grateful to those producers that gave this show it's awesomeness...
I see that many people do like this show and rated 10, in my opinion: that's exactly what this show deserves!
So if you are searching for a TV show where there is drama, mysteriousness, crime, awesomeness and at last but not the vary least NEW? This is a show you've got to see, don't take my word for it and see for your self ;)
