It seems as though another Fall pilot episode has “leaked” it’s way all over the scene. This time from rival ABC, coincidence after all the attention the FOX leak of Fringe and the HBO leak of Pure Blood received? Not likely.
So then, how is it you ask? It’s not bad, it’s not Fringe though!
I took a look at one of the original British episodes that spawned it and I wasn’t particularly more entertained with one over the other. The common consensus online however, seems to be in favour of the British cast, maybe I haven’t given it enough of a chance; although if it is better, it can’t be by much.
Primarily, it follows the events in the life of a cop that gets hit by a car in the present time and “wakes up” in 1972. Unbeknownst to him, he’s actually in a deep coma and 1972 as it were, is all in his arguably intact mind. He receives glimpses of his family and friends by his bedside, manifested in his dreamworld taking the form of TV broadcasts and hallucinations that he struggles to comprehend and justify the very existence of to his coworkers.
I’m not entirely certain how they’re planning on expanding the premise into an entire series, if they do, lets hope they get a little more creative with the dialogue and scenes which are all too bland and cliche.
