Imagine having the ability to alternately wake up every morning next to either Laura Allen (“Terriers”) or Michaela McManus (pictured above). Sounds pretty fucking sweet right? Such is the reality Jason Isaacs’ character Detective Michael Britten is living on NBC’s much buzzed-about mind-fuck of a show “Awake.”
Peep it:
Of course, a series about a guy who gets to bang two beautiful women for the rest of his life isn’t going to score big ratings from women-folk. Things need to be complicated. He needs to suffer. That brings us to the synopsis:
When Detective Michael Britten regains consciousness following his family’s car accident, he is told that his wife Hannah (Allen) perished but that his teen son, Rex (Dylan Minnette), 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 (McManus), 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) and Detective Efrem Vega (Wilmer Valderrama).
So, will Det. Britten end up living his life with his wife or his kid and the hot tennis instructor? It’s quite the dilemma. Thankfully for him, one that can be pondered while having lots of sex with both women.
