Episode Reviewed: Awake Guilty

And here we have the high concept product of NBC attempting to reach a new demographic. And i'd say there doing a pretty good job with that to. This week, in Greenverse, Rex is kidnapped by an escaped convict Michael put away ten years earlier. The man claims he's innocent, and Michael is in a race against time to somehow find his son. In Redverse, Michael uses the version of the convict that's still in prison to help him find where Rex is stashed away. Now so far, the writers have done good job of spreading the mysteries across both... realities, worlds, dreams, mysteries, whatever the heck you wanna call them, in a way that actually does a good job of using the show's concept in each story, while at the same time throwing in some solid character development and emotional drama, or at least they do a better job then a high concept mystery over on FOX which shall not be named. This was a good episode overall, solid performances, directing, yada yada. The only thing it really lacked was a good story arc moment somewhere in there like last week, but i don't think we should be expecting a twist that big from every episode. In nutshell, I'm pleased with the first couple of episodes the show has cranked out and so far I like where they seem to be heading. Final Rating: 87%
