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?
I really liked Revolution It seems that every time I get hooked on a show it gets taken off the air. Don’t like it what can we do?
Oh my goodness. Why was revolution cancelled. I loved it. The suspense was awesome. Please bring it back
Revolution was one of my favorite shows. I can’t believe you cancelled it! It had a great cast, and a great storyline. How can you cancel a series without actually bringing it to a conclusion? Very poor series management. Another network needs to jump on this one and bring it back.
This is why NBC will always be second best. Because they don’t know when they have a great show until it’s gone. Way to let your viewers down.
I looked forward to it before it came out and somehow missed it. Just finished it on NetFlicks and love it! Very disappointed it was canceled. Would be a regular watcher if it came back to TV. I think NBC should look at it’s popularity on NetFlicks they might change their mind.
This was a good show, loved the suspense and the action. Look forward to see what would happen next. At least you could of went one more year and had a closure to the program instead of just stopping.
This always happens, one of the major networks drops A good show because certain group of people object. I know of no one in my group of friends (ages 30-65) mostly male who didn’t enjoy and look forward to following week Revolution. It was always interesting. With A fast pace and keep you guessing plots. Please NBC or somebody like scify pick up Revolution for another run!!
Revolution should not have been canceled I am highly upset at this.
no no no great show bring it back and at lease bring to a end. Lost at lease had a end
Please ad me to ” please renew list”
Why why why would you cancel Revolution when there is so many others that aren’t worth watching. Revolution was so entertaining and thought provoking. Many of these reality shows are ruining our society. The cast on Revolution consisted of talented individuals whose job was to create a character that we could love or love to hate. They had to learn lines and do things that were probably not in their nature but had to be convincing to their audience. Reality shows are magnified moronic idiots taking jobs away from true artists and writers.
AGREED!
I too will miss this show.I watched this every week.
they at least finish the story leave us all wondering good show
Please keep it!
Bring it back ASAP. We can’t believe it was cancelled. It was a great story with excellent
Actors. Very entertaining and we looked forward to Wednesday night. Someone made a
Very bad decision to cancel this program.
This is one the best shows on TV it ranks right up there with the walking dead series I can’t believe you canceled this show yet will continue to show some of the dumbest tv shows. Whomever made the decision to pull this series needs to be canned obviously they don’t know how to do there job and provide people with what they want. I didn’t discover this show on air while it was playing in discovered it on Netflix so obviously they didn’t promote the show to let people know it was on or what it was about because… Read more »
