| PRO REVIEWS |
----------------------------------------
"'Awake' grabs you, unnerves you, breaks your heart and even makes you work a little" (David Wiegand: San Francisco Chronicle)
----------------------------------------
"Notwithstanding a certain stylistic chilliness and my sense of it having been pitched on the back of 'Inception', it promised to be one of the year's best and most interesting new series. (...) I'd say the promise has been largely kept" (Robert Lloyd: Los Angeles Times)
----------------------------------------
"Creator Kyle Killen has set up a provocative, appealing puzzler, full of knottiness for the intellect and emotion for the heart" (Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly)
----------------------------------------
"'Awake' may be hard to categorize, but it's worth our attention" (Emily Nussbaum: The New Yorker)
----------------------------------------
"'Awake' manages something impressive: it focuses unflinchingly on the subject of loss, yet manages to be not a downer or painful to watch, but moving, absorbing and even hopeful" (James Poniewozik: Time)
----------------------------------------
"The hero of 'Awake' has a psychiatric problem; there are no aliens or ghosts to explain away the more improbable turns, and this adventure is far more compelling" (Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times)
----------------------------------------
"If people stay with it, what they'll find are exceptional performances, some truly fine writing and a premise, by virtue of being complicated, that could unspool some really interesting plotlines" (Tim Goodman: San Francisco Chronicle)
----------------------------------------
"What sounds like a daring concept is quickly undercut by attempts to wrap the show in a police-procedural format" (Brian Lowry: Variety)
