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?
Why do they always cancel the good shows!!!!! Please bring this one back!!!!!
Renew the show . At least finish the damn story
PLEASE bring the show back. LOVE, LOVE , LOVED it. Renew and finish the series.
This was a very well scripted and produced sci-fi series. These do not come along often-Battlestar Galactica being the last one I can recall. It should be run for an additional season to tie up loose ends. The door was left open for a great deal of good writing. If not via film, then at least publish a novel that furthers the series. Would love to hear from the network on the status of this show.
It sucks knowing that this show got cancelled . I will never find out if the power got turned back on or if the nano tech took over the world . Seriously my favorite show I wish they will renew the series !
LOVED this show!!! Bring it back. It didn’t end well. What happened to Aaron and Rachel? Did the power ever come back on? Seriously left us hanging. I was so addicted to it!
this was one of the best show out there, I could,nt believe it got cancel.
RENEW REVOLUTION…Don’t leave us hanging!!!
Bring back revolution! At least it was entertaining, much better than the rubbish on TV ATM. I can’t see any reason to why the show should be cancelled.
Renew it but finish the series. Either give us a world where power is restored and rebuilding starts or no power ever but the terrorist are defeated and the world learns to live with non electrical power sources.
BUT in reality every living thing should have died when the power when out because our bodies and all living things bodies run on electrical impulses generated by our brains.
Renew this serie
I’d pay to see more of this.
Please renew – bring it back!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!
Renew please! There aren’t enough shows on television with a great story line! This show had it all!!!
please…please…please…bring this show back!!!! It was so great and really enjoyed it.
RENEW PLEASE
