Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.

Hey guys, a really fun game you can play with this series while suffering through the episodes, is guess what the end of Munroe's (And other's) sentences are. The writing is so bad, you'll probably be right 75% of the time! I was getting pretty good!
Stopped following this, kept getting worse and worse and it wasn't really that good to begin with, shame, the setting had some nice potential
Renewed for a 2nd season. http://www.givememyremote.com/remote/2013/04/26/nbc-renews-revolution-law-o rder-special-victims-unit-chicago-fire-grimm-and-parenthood
@Zantanimus Kripke from Supernatural + J.J Abrams = Revolution = Pure gold. Great show so far for me.
@killmotion Was wondering why it didn't air. Thanks for the info.
@Zantanimus not anymore, man. i've been shitting on nbc for so long, but I think (and hope, for god's sake) that they've found their hit in Hannibal.
The episode intended to air tonight will be preempted for coverage on the bombing that happened in Boston this afternoon.
Revolution tries way too hard to be a drama and fails at every fundamental level, which snowballs into a hilarious and often overbearing sense of self. The story is just a bunch of elements drawn from Star Wars, Kripke's other work, and a generic "Hero With A Thousand Faces" plot structure.
That being said, Kripke has successfully produced NBC's best comedy since Community.
@Jakurdo I agree :-) Also the crave for drama is pretty annoying sometimes. I'll keep watching tough. The idea of this show was and still is pretty awesome. To bad they didn't do more with it.
