Awake (Season 1)

Awake (2012) is an NBC detective drama you can watch online on iFILM — one complete season, 13 episodes, with Jason Isaacs as Detective Michael Britten. A car crash kills either his wife or his son. The catch: he wakes up in both outcomes simultaneously. Two realities, two families, two lives running in parallel — and he refuses to let either one go.

Each reality has its own partner, its own caseload, its own therapist telling him this world is the real one. What makes the series clever is that Michael's split existence becomes an investigative tool: fragments from the red world unlock clues in the green one, and vice versa. He's solving crimes with information that technically doesn't exist.

Created by Kyle Killen, the show is less interested in the sci-fi mechanics than in what grief does to a person who can literally choose not to feel it. Isaacs carries the whole weight of it without overplaying a single scene. Stream Awake (2012) online on iFILM.
