JASON ISAACS' NEW SHOW

[rogueslayer452]

I'll admit to still being upset and disappointed that 17th Precinct didn't get picked up, however Awake (formerly called REM) is something I've also been intrigued by from the moment I heard about the premise. And, of course, with Jason Isaacs being involved but that's a given. Watching this trailer however, I have to say it looks absolutely amazing. I think it's gonna be good, perhaps too good for a network like NBC. I really want this to do well because it does look incredible, if slightly depressing, which might put off the regular casual watcher. But nonetheless, I just want them to give this a chance on something with this kind of genre, which is more innovative and intellectual than they've previously had.

Also, how can you go wrong with Jason Isaacs? Seriously.

I just wish that the BSG cast reunion would have joined him in the new season line-up. Because that would have been on new levels of epic nerdgasming right there, ngl.

This really does look good. I hope they find a way to make the idea interesting for more than 90 mins. Still it's Jason Isaacs, I'd probably watch him do his taxes.

I'm still sad they didn't pick up 17th Precinct. It looked so much better than Grimm, which did :(

That is true, because this looks more like a movie or miniseries than it does for a full-blown television show. It looks so interesting I hope there's more surprises or clues along the way, but either way it looks fantastic and I'll be there when it premieres for sure.

God, Grimm looks like such a catastrophe, and such a blatant Supernatural rip-off. I would have preferred something new and different like 17th Precinct than that, for sure.
