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 PLEASE DON’T CANCEL REVOLUTION !!! WITH ALL THE TRASH ON TV NOW THIS IS THE ONE SHOW THAT I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE AND WOULD NOT MISS!!! PLEASE RETHINK THIS ONE NBC!!
Please keep them on air, I enjoy this show so much. I’m so tired of shows about dumb people doing dumb things.
Why? Why would you cancel this show? With all the other crud that is on TV and you cancel this show. Are you thinking at all?
Please do not cancel. It is one of only two that I watch every week.
don’t cancel this show i love it
This is my favorite show. Please do not cancel it.
Best show going! Great cast and writing since 24! Keep it coming! We look forward to every episode! Please Keep it Running!
This is a great show! DO NOT cancel this show!!
Please don’t cancel this series.
I enjoy revolution, there is a lot of drama, mystery, and science fiction. It keeps you guessing what’s going to happen next and to whom it going to happen to. The actors are great also. Please do not cancel this program. If it is they will probably put another REALITY show on which we do not need.
NBC are you kidding me???? The amount of crap that is actually getting renewed and this awesome show with an awesome cast that has so many of us hooked is getting cancelled???Are you crazy!!! Sure go ahead and add ANOTHER talent show zzzzzzzzzz.
Don’t cancel it. It’s great acting, writing, and directing. It’s got a unique story line and shows this new technologically addicted generation what it’s like to have an honor system without confirming an email or text, and how to use candles, voices and fists as opposed to guns and Facebook. One day I hope to be cast in the show too, so hopefully it will stick around 😉
