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 renew for season 3!! It’s a show myself n family n friends watch avidly every week…
This is the ONLY show I watch on TV; though to be honest, I usually stream it the day after on my Laptop. I watched the first season after it had ended, all in two days. I think this is an extremely awesome show and look forward to it every week. I’d personally like to see it every week, year round!
I think this show makes people stop and appreciate what they have. I can remember as a child when we got electric and phone service and it was like a miracle.
DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!
Do Not Cancel “Revolution”
one of the few intelligent shows, please don’t cancel it
Revolution is the best show on TV today, I hope it stays around for a long time, please do not cancel the best show ever.
Do not cancel Revolution! It is one of the great shows on TV.
PLEASE don’t cancel this show. I love Revolution. I am tired of watching the same ole crap on tv. this is different. I love the cast, I love the show. Keep this one going.
Don’t cancel it; it’s good. It tells exactly the problems everyone will face if this country falls apart if it doesn’t go off the path of borrowing.
There are evil people out there and they will take advantage of the rest of us if the government of the U.S. goes. However, go to http://www.thevenusproject.com and see what you can work into the story; after all that AI might be working toward something like that. Hint, hint ;).
MORE REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More I want more please, I need more.
love, love the show….. keeps you guessing. Two of my neighbors and myself get
together on Wed. evening to watch it together and discuss…..
I really love this show. I hope you do not cancel this one. I can think of maybe four or five shows that should go before this one.
