TV show description:
This dramatic science-fiction TV series explores the question “What would you do without it all?” A family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, planes, cars, phones, lights — has mysteriously stopped working. Electrical power has simply gone away. The show also revolves around the idea of family — both the family you’re born into and the family you choose.
Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos) is the headstrong, curious and daring daughter of Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Ben Matheson (Tim Guinee). Ben is hiding a mysterious secret about the blackout. Maggie (Anna Lise Phillips), a medical doctor, became involved with him following his wife’s death.
When Charlie’s younger and thoughtful brother, Danny (Graham Rogers), is kidnapped by militia leaders, she must reconnect with her estranged uncle Miles Matheson (Billy Burke), a former US Marine and warrior who’s living as a recluse.
Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed and how or if it will ever return.
The rebel group includes fighter Nora (Daniella Alonso); General “Bass” Monroe (David Lyons), a former Marine who served alongside Miles; and Aaron (Zak Orth), a former Google executive and a computer genius who’s ill-prepared for the rigors of the technology-less world.
Captain Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito), a cultured former insurance adjuster turned Monroe Republic leader and Nate Walker (JD Pardo) is a member of the militia who has conflicted feelings for Charlie.
Episode #42 — Declaration of Independence
Miles (Billy Burke), Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and Monroe (David Lyons) launch an attack on the Patriots, but must improvise a risky new plan in order to halt the oncoming war between California and Texas. Out for revenge, Neville (Giancarlo Esposito) sets his sights on President Davis (guest star Cotter Smith). Meanwhile, Aaron (Zak Orth) and Rachel’s (Elizabeth Mitchell) efforts to save Priscilla (guest star Maureen Sebastian) from the nano-tech has unexpected consequences.
First aired: May 21, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like the Revolution TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Please bring back the best show hands down.
This was the best, all around.
Too bad this show was cancelled. It’s the best show out there. I never miss an episode. Great show to watch with the whole family.
No! Don’t cancel!
It never fails….find a great show and it gets cancelled! Like so many that we really get into, it’s gone. Like Jericho, so many people begged for t to come back, and what happened.. ran a few reruns and expect us to be happy…a real bummer. If it doesn’t include killing or sex, it doesn’t fly for long…Shame on you..Think about it please!!!!
Your right, too clean
I am SO disappointed. Please don’t cancel! I always watched it and was so looking forward to next season!! It’s an awesome series.
Keep it
I am really bummed its cancelled
Please don’t cancel Revolution!!!! Best show on tv. They cancel good shows but keep carp like Big Brother and American Ninja Warriors………..
sucks!!!
Probably one of the few shows I made a strong effort to watch on if I had to miss I would look for the rerun on On Demand, This added to the cancellation of Jay Leno indicates your network does not care about people with disposable ioncome and discretionary tastes. Good luck with your demographics
Nielsen rating system thinks we r still watching live Telly. Live Telly was back in the day when we had 2 remember phone# and give direction and don’t get me started in those dinosaurs days. Someone plz give em the memo and bring it back
It always seems an they take of the good shows. They should take off some these
Phony reality shows. Like the Trump Apprentice show.
I am pissed I want to know how it ended
My family and I love this show… This is the kind of show that the young and old could enjoy.
Revolution vs. Reality show??? Revolution hands down!!
This is a great show. I tape it everytime it is on. Love it. Why cancel great show
Very very disappointed to hear of cancellation. I’ve watched all of seasons one and two by recording it as it was relocated. I too feel cheated since it was left totally open ended and nothing tied up or concluded. boo hiss
