Searched for a thread for this but couldn't find one.

Synopsis:

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?

Trailer:



The full pilot was released online today.

I haven't watched it yet, but the premise seems interesting. Anyone else looking forward to this show?

been waiting for it a while, but it kept not airing

[Takiwaki]

So I watched the pilot, I am intrigued.

[Odesseiron]

I'm sure some other people must have watched this tonight. IMO, it is the best premiere of all the new shows this season yet. The going back and forth right now works really well. I hope they can keep it up as the previews look really good. Thoughts?

Thanks Qal if you merged this. Did a search, didn't see it. Woops!

It was a good ep, and an interesting story, but what's gonna happen from week to week? He solves related crimes across both realities? I mean, if you look at the alcatraz thread ppl complain that it's just a "find the baddie of the week" show, I don't see this being much different. Not that I'm complaining, I watch that show and I'll watch this too, I just don't see what's gonna keep viewers that need something exceedingly varied each week. War of the shrinks is pretty interesting though lol.

Spoiler: show

Calling it now, dude died in the accident and the entire show will end up either being "the afterlife" or an instant in time during the accident (kinda like the last 1/3 of the movie Next).

[hey]

The concept here is dumb as fuck, but the presentation is pretty good. I doubt i'll watch another episode, but i definitely don't regret watching the pilot.

It should have been a movie.

Have to say this is the best pilot I've seen in a while. Got me interested, can't wait for next episode.

[Serra]

Just finished watching the first episode. Enjoyed the premise, so really interested to see how they keep up the alternative realities.

[niwaar]

I enjoyed the show... I am interested in how the show will be week to week. Really looks like it has potential to be really good, or to be dumbed down and made into yet another procedural that no one is interested in.

[fengzi597]

wow.i am looking forward to it..

[Takiwaki]

I though it interesting how stuff he misses in one reality bleeds into the other to help him solve the crime.

[Serra]

The challenge will be making the show more than a 'villain of the day' affair. The criminal was the same person in both realities this time, right?

nah In one reality he was wearing a disguise that was basically the same face or similar to the person in the other reality or something like that

Spoiler: show

<redacted> the creator basically said, it is as straightforward as it appears. one world is real, one is a construct of his mind, no coma, no dream, no scifi parallel universes, etc

That's good to know.

Spoiler: show

I was scared they were both going to end up being fake and his wife and son both died. >.>

I'm still finding this show interesting, even if it will most likely turn out to just be a new story each episode type show. Kind of curious how they can really "wrap up" the mystery without the show ending.

More reason not to watch this. That's just dumb

I'm going to continue pretending it was a movie, that ended with all three of them dying in the car crash.

[Tyrath]

Man I'm not sure how I feel about the end of that episode. Not really super into the "IT WAS ALL A CONSPIRACY" vibe I'm getting from it. The premise was interesting enough without foul play being involved.

[Qalbert]

canceled

[Churchill]

I suppose that's why they actually got to the real story finally.

[tonyg]

Show was fucking awesome though, I really liked the premise, sucks not enough people caught up on it
