Awaken (2020–2021)
10/10
Stranger Things meets Jason Bourne
25 September 2023
With a smattering of Inception for good measure! It took me a couple of episodes to get into this show, mostly because I was confused about how much disbelief I should be suspending. This is most definitely, as others have pointed out, a sci-fi show and not your typical crime procédural as you might have expected. It also, despite the description, contains exactly zero romance so don't get your hopes up if that's your thing. Initially a thrilling whodunnit, this show rapidly turns into an exploration of the corruption and greed of shadowy and powerful figures. The "science" is a little convoluted and confusing, but overall it's a gripping, exciting, and entertaining ride!
