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 loved the show! There is so little on tv today and NBC just cancelled one of the only decent show they had! Nice job NBC
My wife and I really enjoyed this show. Watching it together and watching the characters grow strong and coping with worst case scenerios. Can’t imagine what will happen or was going to happen next.
Pls bring it back
Hamilton
Bring it back nothing I hate worse and then getting to the end of the movie and you can’t see the ending or a book stop three quarters of the way and not finish it you need to finished the story
NBC sucks! I loved this show and then they up and cancel it,what the hell!
The ONLY NBC show that I actually liked enough to tune in for and you canceled it?!? You people really are clueless. It’s ok though, you’d probably air it when another great show is playing that I like on another channel, then I’d have to choose… Unless you aired it the same time as “amazing race” lol.
One problem with the show was scheduling.It would be on then be off for a week or two then come back on..Hard to get ratings without consistency..Loved the show…Real disappointed no finality to the storyline…
plz bring it back it had me hooked
You (NBC) have a terrible reputation for lousy decisions! This series was different, thought provoking and unique. This is certainly not any of your traits!
Oh come on guys!!!
Im getting tired if getting hooked on a great show juat to have it cancelled!
Maybe I should just cancel NBC!
Ive never written about any show before!
Really??? Should not have been cancelled! So disappointed!
I was under the impression that there would be a season 3, though I thought it would ‘be a while’ before it re-appeared (Summer hiatus). I didn’t realize that ‘a while’ was permanent. Am very disappointed.
Please bring back this show! My husband and I both loved it. We were so sad to hear that it was cancelled. :/
the best show series have wathched after walking dead.cant believe its stopped
Revolution should continue for at least one more season!!!!
Bring it back!
