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?
Renew Renew Renew!!!! It’s about time we have something out of the ordinary!!!! Really ready to for it to begin again!!!
Please renew…I’m so tired of cop,csi and law shows I could scream. Everytime something diffrent comes on……it’s yanked before it’s really given a chance.
Great point. What will be on TV? Law & Order(s), CSI(s) & the like. This show is FRESH & keeps me ALWAYS wanting more.
I enjoy Revolution and hope it isn’t cancelled. Sometimes, I feel a lot of shows I like are cancelled due to poor time slots. Also, if they are cancelled I feel they should at least end the storyline of the show by the final episode. I like the storyline because it is something that could actually happen, although, I don’t see why batteries or crank/wind up electricity doesn’t work? The rest I can imagine being real.
I agree. I do not know how old u r but my husband and I remember when a tv season was 26 weeks. Every September u found out what was on and when. We chose what to watch as a family and looked forward to The Wizard of Oz, Heidy and The Greatest Story Ever Told each year. Things have changed. We do not have a chance to even know a show before it is pulled. Thank u to the internet and You Tube and such. I know we can’t go back but can we learn anything from the past?… Read more »
Or I’d love it if more shows that get canceled by the Networks would get picked up by Cable/Satellite . Like some other shows have been. Example: “Cougar Town”. I don’t watch it but its nice to know there’s a Second Chance out there.
It should definitely be renewed. It is my families favorite show.
Once again a show the WHOLE family enjoyed. So that means they will cancell it. Todays TV is to produce shows aaimed at target audience that way, the wife watches 1 tv, the kids watch a different set , and dad watches another. See that way we sell more TV’s or pay other services to watch on PC or notebooks. Plus we can have more family consouling and divorce lawyers for those of us that cant afford the other services or buy more TV’s.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
We LOVE revelation! I generally do not like the genre,but our whole family watched together. Please bring it back.
i hope that yall make a season 2 of revolution because that is the best show that i have ever watch. i will have me thinking about it all week about whats going to happen next. hands down the best show ever!!!!
I like the show Revolution. It has a powerful message and as much as we don’t like to think things like that can happen, it probably could at any time. Family becomes important and you would do anything to make sure they survive no matter how unthinkable it might be. Keep it coming, please.
Love Revolution!!! It makes you think because we do rely on electronics way too much.
I like Billy Burke – became a fan via Twilight. I really hope this series continues.
I had high hopes….. but the internal logic of the show leaves much to be desired. I’ll happily suspend my disbelief for magic or warp drives or even alternative universes but ******** with physics we know well does us a profound diservice
Love the show – the cast – the intrigue – how reality was creatively woven through the “seeminly” sci-fi plot —not sure why it so abruptly stopped but I hope it didn’t cost you your audience! Get this show moving again!
keep the show going. It’s good and makes you think. Love it.
Returning March 25 on NBC according to their (NBC) web page
I really like this show but im afraid its doomed . It seems like every show I start to like that is new goes under 🙁 I hope it doesn’t get cancelled
ABSOULUTELY LOVED IT!!! If you’re going to end it; do so with a decent ending! Or make a DVD movie to finish the series …
I completely agree with you at least end it well or a movie or something
