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?
Always the same….. Getting people all into these shows then………………
……. BAM CANCELLED. If you are going to start it then finish it right. Don’t leave people hanging. Come on now, how did you get this far in your careers if you can’t finish what you start? Get it together and get season 3 going!!!!!! It’s ok to end the series when you don’t leave ALL your viewers wondering what happens. There has to be some kind of closure, especially when you had it going in a few but very interesting directions. You left so many unanswered questions.
If your going to cancel a series, then don’t leave me hanging. I hate that! Revolution was awesome! I can’t believe it was cancelled. Bring it back!!!
I love this show and waiting for the next season. It left me in suspend and it has to continue. As far as I know thus show has a lot of popularity. Please bring it back.
OMG!! Don’t cancel!!!! Renew!!!!! Renew!!! I’ve been waiting for the new season!!! It’s too far into the story to cancel now!!!! I want to see what happens next!! Where does the story go now?? Please renew for yet another outstanding season!!! PLEASE!!!
About to finish up the series. I thought it was a good show and a good wake up call to how it or something of the same nature could happen in the U.S. People now want reality shows and this certainly could fit for our future the way things are going in the U.S.
Bring it back! Love it!
I am so upset about the series ending. That was one show I loved and I made sure I could watch. I do not like most of the other shows because there are so many reality shows. It was a show that was not vampires and dead people walking. It made me use my imagination. Do not inderstand why they cancelled it. My daughter in law and the kids just got started watching it on Netflex and loved it. I had to tell them it is cancelled.
Please bring it back.
I loved it. I wish they would bring it back.
Seems everytime a good wholesome clean show is put on TV it gets the big stamp of cancelled why is this is America that numb to good TV nowadays? Yes bring it back.
JUST BRING IT BACK.
Just finished with the whole series. LOVED IT!!!
Bring it back.
Why is it that everything I watch is being cancelled? I do not like reality TV. Please bring this show back now.
Hooked on it big time – please bring it back!
Hooked on it big time. Please bring it back!
Good story and premise, revealing the “lord of the flies” mentality that can arise in a situation like that.
Should not have been cancelled. The Walking Dead is still on??? Bleh.
Bring it back! Great show!
