Spring 2012 TV: Must-Watch New Shows

Awake (NBC)
Premieres: Thursday, March 1 at 10/9c

The good news: Cop Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) survives a horrific car accident. The bad news: He is trapped in two different realities when he goes to sleep. In one, his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) survived the crash, while his son Rex (Dylan Minnette) died, and in the other, the opposite is true. (Pay attention to the differentiating colors in each reality — red for the one in which his wife is alive and green means his son is alive.) The drama comes from Lone Star's Kyle Killen, and we know what you're thinking: Dude has duality issues.
