Season 1 Review: Awake grabs you, unnerves you, breaks your heart and even makes you work a little. Read full review

Season 1 Review: After watching four episodes, I can say that Awake has an addictive quality to it. Read full review

Feb 24, 2012

Season 1 Review: Creator Kyle Killen has set up a provocative, appealing puzzler, full of knottiness for the intellect and emotion for the heart. [2 Mar 2012, p.70]

Ellen Gray

Feb 29, 2012

Season 1 Review: I'd be happy enough with this cast and this concept to simply wander along for a bit, ignoring the trail of bread crumbs and focusing on the lengths one man might go to hold onto those he loves. Read full review

Feb 28, 2012

Season 1 Review: It packs some punch, though. And Isaacs certainly doesn't sleepwalker through a decidedly distinctive role. Read full review

Rob Owen

Feb 29, 2012

Season 1 Review: Generally they do their best to walk a fine line, attempting to execute the show in as uncomplicated a way as possible so less devoted viewers keep watching while rewarding obsessive fans with small steps forward in the exploration of Britten's condition. Read full review

David Hinckley

Feb 29, 2012

Season 1 Review: Viewers who don't regularly contemplate alternative-reality issues probably should tape the show as well as watch it, because the non-expert may have to watch it twice just to figure out what's going on, or even to understand what parts we don't understand. Read full review
