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?
Loving the show, can’t wait until the next episode, please keep it going, nice change from reality shows
Love it! Please keep it going.
Love It!! Started slow but epidoses get A LOT better. So addicted!!
must go on.
[…] Revolution […]
Loved the premis of the show, very good pilot and 2nd episode…but then the last few had me wondering where were they going….very monotonous ESP. The young girl (fed up) with her lost puppy dog eyes and frowns…I don’t think it’s a positive sign when you are wishing cast members to die off…the show.
Love the show. Although intense, it is thought provoking and has spawned some great discussions. Please don’t cancel.
I really like. Keep it going!
Liked it
This sure beats all the reality shows
[…] Revolution’s third episode aired last night, following The Voice. The drama is the network’s highest-rated scripted drama of the season. The first two episodes have averaged a 3.8 demo rating with 10.43 million viewers. […]
What a horrible show! I quit watching after the first 30 minutes. The show made me very depressed!
This is the first I have seen , I like and would like to see more.
I also liked Terra Nove , don’t know why it’s gone. We dont need any more reality shows,or talent shows,Law,Cops and robbers, gays,,sex comedy. Enough preversion.
Liked the pilot. Not over the moon but shows possibilities depending on character development and believability of the stories. Sounds like there will be a lot of flashbacks which is OK as long as they don’t overtake the importance of the story. Too many can make it disjointed and distracting.
If it develops well I definitly would like to see it renewed.
[…] Revolution revolves around a world in which powered devices and machines stopped working 15 years ago. As a result, civilization ceased to exist as we know it and had to rebuild itself without any kind of technology. The show features the talents of Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Anna Lise Phillips, Graham Rogers, JD Pardo, Zak Orth, Maria Howell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Tim Guinee, Elizabeth Mitchell, Derek Webster, and Daniella Alonso.

I really think that revolution could be resumed without a snag. I loved all of the characters. There are so many “junk” shows that no one would miss. A show called lucifer, now why would anyone want to be in a show like that? There are so many sexual shows that embarrass me, and it is not because I am old, they are so visual. Bring back Revolution back.
Give it a try, I am tired of sex offenders.
[…] Revolution takes place 15 years after an unknown phenomenon disabled all advanced technology and powered devices on the planet. People are forced to adapt and rebuild and, not surprisingly, the world becomes a very different place. Members of the Matheson family seem to have some answers as to what happened and how power might be returned. […]
