The plot of this show sounds promising. I hope it's as good as it sounds. It was previously known as REM.
"“Awake†is an intriguing drama about a detective (Jason Issacs, “Harry Potter,†“Brotherhoodâ€Â) who finds he is leading an arduous double life that defies reality. When Detective Michael Britten (Issacs) regains consciousness following his family’s car accident, he is told that his wife Hannah (Laura Allen, “Terriersâ€Â) perished but that his teen son, Rex (Dylan Minnette, “Saving Graceâ€Â), has survived. As he tries to put the pieces of his life back together, he awakens again in a parallel reality in which his wife is very much alive  but his son Rex died in the accident. In order to keep both of his loved ones alive at one time, he begins living two dueling realities in parallel worlds, which churns up confusion  in one moment, Michael and his wife debate about having another child to replace their son, while in the other reality, he is attracted to his son’s tennis coach, Tara (Michaela McManus, “The Vampire Diariesâ€Â), to fill the void from the loss of his wife. Trying to regain some normalcy, Michael returns to police work and solves crimes in both worlds with the help of two different partners  Detective Isaiah “Bird†Freeman (Steve Harris, “The Practiceâ€Â) and Detective Efrem Vega (Wilmer Valderrama, “That ’70s Showâ€Â). Also starring are Emmy Award winner Cherry Jones (“24â€Â) and BD Wong (NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unitâ€Â) as therapists in each respective world. The series is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. Kyle Killen (“Lone Starâ€Â) and Howard Gordon (“24â€Â) are executive producers. David Slade (“Twilight: Eclipse,†“30 Days of Nightâ€Â) also serves as executive producer and directed the pilot written by Killen."
