After a car accident takes the life of a family member, a police detective lives two alternating parallel lives, one with his wife and one with his son. Is one of his "realities" merely a dream?

This looks good

It definitely looks interesting. I don't think that double alternating reality thing has been done before on TV.

This looks beautiful... just beautiful!

I just saw the preview for this show. It looks very promising.

Okay. So who all saw the premier episode for this show last night? I saw it and I was very intrigued by it. I really want to know who actually died and who actually survived. It kinda messes with your brain as in you keep guessing which is real and which is not. Or am I missing something?

Looks pretty good, I wasn't aware of this show but I'll have to check it out now.

I saw it. Thought it was really good!

I'm not sure either realities are real, it's interesting that he can't remember the circumstances before the crash..Reading the constitution on the one reality was a nice proof, except if he has never memorised it before then how does he know the version he was reading was actually correct?

Yeah, I had the same thought.

Hopefully where it goes isn't "he's in a coma" or "he's the one who actually died" or something like that.

No way. If that happens, it will be the worst demise of a show that's been set up so well. I will never forgive NBC again if they do so. I do hope though that this does stay for a few seasons. It has really good potential.

Its obvious:

Bruce Willis is dead the whole time!

:shiftyninja:

[Unrealistic]

I just watched the first two episodes and it is pretty good. I'm sure it will be cancelled though.

[c.grz]

Yeah, I'm guessing he's the one that died.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

The last episode ("Ricky's Tacos" - E07) was great. I think this show is really interesting. I love how each episode melds the two realities together with little things like a tattoo or building sign. Viewership in the US has been going down since the first episode. Fortunately, it went up slightly with the latest episode. It'd be a damn shame if this show is cancelled.

[RatherLargeBear]

Yeah, I'm guessing he's the one that died.

I see dead people.

One thing I can't remember, has the captain been having those dodgy meetings and phone calls with the people who have apparently caused the accident in just the one reality or both?

At first, she was only seen in the red reality (where Michael's wife is alive). But in later episodes, she was seen in the green reality as well. As for her meetings with the man in the grey suit, I believe she only had those in the red reality.

[Livin in a box]

Anyone seen the finale? I just thought it was

there to tug on heartstrings

personally, but from what I gather

no one actually died, and basically...everything was a dream?

A little bit disappointing in a way in that he didn't have to choose a reality which is what I was kind of expecting before and half way through when both shrinks appeared and Dr. Lee accused Dr. Evans of being imaginary.

[Jase]

im not sure how I feel about this ending, I just watched it and wow is all I can say.. with a hint of a little bit rushed and It could've been better if they didn't get canceled

oh well..

[Unrealistic]

I thought the ending was amazing, given the circumstances. I felt more at peace with this series finale than I did with LOST and this is easily the best piece of TV I have seen in quite a while.

It really is a shame about what happened with this show.

[ATLien_0]

Amazing alternate ending.

It was pretty obvious that had there been a second season, all of that wouldn't have been rushed. For all we know one reality could have been the convict life trying to prove the murder or even him on the run, while the other is the normal one.

The alternate ending, the dream with in the dream was great, but not what I would have expected.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I thought the ending was amazing. It's such a shame that the show had to end so early. I really wish it continued for at least another season. I'm quite happy with the way it ended though.

It's hard to tell which reality, red or green, is the real one. My guess is one of them is real and the other is fake. However, he somehow made both realities seem real to him (to the point that he can't tell which one is real and which one is fake). Near the end, I think he created a third "ideal" reality where both his wife and son are alive. It's also possible that his wife and son died and both main realities are fake.
