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?
Yes, please – BRING IT BACK!!! I am also guilty of binge-watching the series on Netflix. Enjoyed everything about it: action, social commentary, character studies, plot twists, and humor.
So disappointed that this has been cancelled!!! Enjoyed the actors and the plot. Really wanted to see where it would lead…did not expect it to end so soon
I love this show!! Im sure they will put something trashy and immortal like that garbage mistresses in its place.
My husband & I and family have watched this show from the beginning. We are very disappointed that it has been cancelled. It was different and that’s why we enjoyed it. Otherwise it’s stupid reality, awful sit-coms, dissecting people,detective type shows.
It was a good change from the other things offered to see. Hope they decide to renew. Hopefully more people will write to them.
I loved this show! thought provoking and exciting, please- someone pick it up and at least finish it
Its a great show with great actors, thats why they cancelled it. People like it to much and why should we be happy. So I guess the only good show they leave us with is the Simpsons.
Its good old American greed. Maybe we should bring back Father Knows Best to make the Evangelical Christians Happy. Rich ********!!! Oh and BTW, down with Wallstreet cuz it sux.
Maybe Netflix will fund season 3. Just finished binge-watching s1 & 2. Gotta find our if they conquered the nanobots
Loved this show! Can’t cancel now. We have to know how it ends!
This was an epic series! Loved it and now it is over? Why? The end was no where in sight, this could have gone on and on and been so exciting..want me to write the episodes for you? Did you run out of ideas? WHAT?
I love this show. I know it is out there but it is so much better than the stupid so called comedy sit coms and a lot better than the shows that are sex based.
DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW. BRING IT BACK!!!!!
You’re 100% right. I loved the action, the social commentary and the reference to family.
I loved this show!!! Who makes these decisions? Bring it back!
What you mean cancelled? Are you guys insane? Stop the madness and bring it back please!
I very much enjoyed this show and would have loved for it to have had a conclusion instead of leaving you hanging without one.
Please bring it back.
Why? Why? Why? Revolution could have been another LOST! Just saying, you missed out on lots of money and com-icon Merchandise.
Why is the reason canceled tv show i love show
