Truth be told, I’m not sold on Revolution…yet. I’ll give it another shot when it returns on March 25, 2013. However, the young female lead character (played by Tracy Spiridakos) does such dumb things I have major problems getting past her actions and paying attention to the overall story. Hopefully, the upcoming episodes will focus on the characters who are far better written.

The Plot:

What would you do without it all? In this epic adventure from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out forever.

A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, — and television’s #1 new Fall series in the key demographic — Revolution is also about family — both the family you’re born into and the family you choose. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth as seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Spiridakos), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers).

When Danny was kidnapped by a powerful militia for a darker purpose, Charlie tracked down her estranged Uncle Miles (Billy Burke), a former militia member himself, to help find her brother. Together, with a rogue band of survivors including Aaron (Zak Orth) and Nora (Daniella Alonso), they crossed the country, eventually rescuing Danny – as well as discovering Charlie and Danny’s presumed dead mother, Rachel Matheson (Elizabeth Mitchell), a scientist with inside knowledge of the power outage who was also being held by the militia.

Now, newly reinforced, Charlie, Miles, Aaron and Rachel set out to overthrow the militia led by the ruthless Monroe (David Lyons) and his brutal enforcer, Major Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito) — and ultimately strive to re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if — or how — it will ever be restored.
