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 Revolution. One of my favorite shows, maybe you should re-think this . NBC doe’s not have that many shows that I like and then you take the best one ever off. I am not a happy camper.
Revolution WAS THE BEST PROGRAM EVER! Looked forward to it every week. NBC is too stupid to have ownership over good programs. How many times, looking forward every week to a new episode, only to have it replaced with stupid childish crap. Not the first, second, or nth time. I hope CW, FoxTV, or some other intelligent network will pick up this program…and continue it. Remember, NBC threw away Jay Leno for an idiot clown.
All of these comments are true, intelligent and passionate. Make sure you sign both petitions and go to NBC website. Also Facebook !!! We all echo each other !! Either some network will listen or they are just pandering to the the reality show crowd!! 3 million viewers pocket books should count for something !!!…. Also, I wasn’t able to dvr the repeat show. If anyone knows of another time it’s in please let us know!!!!
I am not happy about this…they ended V. Like that also. ELIABETH MITCHELL WAS IN THAT ALSO. Figures…and to top it all off only 1 more season of sons of anarchy…what the?
I am sooooooo disappointed they cancelled this show! Now Been Cancelled for what? I’m going to quit watching tv because every show I like gets cancelled. Billy Burke was awesome and I hope to see him again soon. Along with the rest of the cast.
I am disappointed in how they ended the series. NBC should have authorized more episodes in order to have resolution. It is unfair to the viewers and followers of the series to end without a complete story line. This is happening more and more with television. One of the most enjoyable series in a long time was starred Ashley Judd. The network could have ended the show with by letting everyone rejoice that her son had been found, but instead they chose to take it one step too far making viewers think there was hope for the series to continue.… Read more »
Here we go again.Just when you have invested your time in THEIR TV series they get you hooked and then decide to pull the rug out from under you. You are left with no explanation, no attempt to give the audience a conclusion to the series you had become so familiar with. You follow the plot line religiously ,and know each character ‘s every move.So why do you take away our little bit of joy we look forward to every week. Believe me ,in the world of hundreds of shows, there are very few that are worthy of watching. Revolution… Read more »
I can not believe NBC is canceling Revolution…. This is my familys favorite show on tv.. And you cancel it. They got over a million likes on facebook, and you still cancel it. Unreal. I guess it is all about the almighty dollar to these clowns in business suits…. Screw the fans….huh…. I am done with Nbc…not proud as a peacock, just a peacock in general… idiots….
Please do not cancel. I love this show and really enjoyed this past season. Allow the writers time to end this wonderful series for the fans satisfaction.
I know why NBC is cancelling Revolution! I love this show ! But what it all breaks down to the “MIGHTY DOLLAR”!! It is not cheap to produce…it creators will only make millions not billions so screw the Fans! MONEY means more to NBC that keeping the faiful watchers happy! I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO BOYCOTT ALL OTHER SHOW ON NBC AND PROVE TO THEM THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES IN CONTROL! WATCH NOTHING ON NBC IN FUTURE YEARS! I WILL START A PETITION HERE TO STOP ALL NBC SHOWS!
This was one show I truly enjoyed. There are very few shows I watch, but always looked forward to Wednesday night. If you are going to end a show at least have an ending and don’t leave people hanging. The way we do programs makes you not want to watch a show because it gets cancelled after you become interested. Poorly done, very disatisfied !
If you have not signed both petitions please do so then tweet and share them. Both go to multiple networks. There is a huge movement to #relocaterevolution for #RevolutionSeason3.

Please return my show or at least give us a real ending. I absolutely hate that the networks don’t seem to give a care and just end shows without allowing the writers, and actors to create closure. We had to fight really hard to get Chuck back for each season after Season 1. We won with that one and we actually got to see the show provide closure for the fans. Please stand up and let the networks here our voices. Revolution is awesome.
Can’t believe you morons would cancel the best show on TV, bar none. It is the only show I watch on a regular basis. All the other shows are a waste of my time. The only other thing worth watching is sports.
One of the few series that I’ve really become interested in during the last several years. Plenty of action, intriguing plot twists and interesting character development. Why was it cancelled – poor ratings? Hannibal was renewed and it is pure garbage. I don’t get the review process – I’m finished with NBC.
The show is good training of maybe to come. That show has a following from Texas you would not believe…..Cx this is stupid…..But they keep Modern Family , give me a break.
If you haven’t signed the 2 petitions please do. Both go to multiple networks. Tweet and share. There is a huge fan base working
Go to this Facebook page and post your city, state or country. We are trying to show how far #revolution has reached. Encourage your friends to do this also.
