Things that are good always get cancelled, so I don't know why I should be surprised.
The new NBC show Awake is another police procedural show, but it actually has a really interesting premise. I've watched almost all of the first season and I really enjoy it, but of course that means it's slated to be cancelled.
Here's the show in a nutshell:
"The series stars Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter) as Michael Britten, a police detective dealing with the tragic death of his wife in a car accident. That is, until he goes to sleep. Then he's Michael Britten, a police detective dealing with the tragic death of his son from that same car accident. He shifts between these two realities as soon as he goes to sleep (thus the title).
The main question of the series is, which is real? The therapists that Michael sees on each side (played by BD Wong and Cherry Jones) each have convincing arguments for why their side is real."
See, interesting. Plus it has high production values, is well acted, and doesn't involve the CSI-style superfluous use of technology.
Le sigh. Why is our culture too stupid to understand things that are awesome?
