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, "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 seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos, "Being Human"), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers, "Memphis Beat"). When Danny is kidnapped by militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with her estranged uncle Miles
(Billy Burke, "The Twilight Saga"), a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia and ultimately 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 return.
The twist that comes towards the end of “Soul Train,” the fifth episode of NBC’s Revolution, isn’t really all that much of a twist, given how thoroughly it was forecast throughout tonight’s episode. And yet, it’s a story beat that serves to flesh out one of the show’s dullest characters in “Nate” (J.D. Pardo) while also providing layers for the series’ most compelling figure, Captain Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito).
“Soul Train” is not only a great episode of adventure television, but it’s also remarkably well-observed in detailing the gradual transformation of a meek family man into a cold-blooded villain with a mean streak a mile wide, and a chip on his shoulder to match.
The intrigue of a character like Captain Neville depends almost entirely on the actor playing him, as this role could have descended into caricature pretty quickly without the nuance Giancarlo Esposito brings to the part. Esposito is capable of turning on a dime, transforming from the reserved man Tom once was as an insurance adjuster, to the menacing warrior he’s become in an increasingly unruly, chaotic world.
“Soul Train” is very much vested in the interests of Charlie’s (Tracy Spiridakos) continued search for Danny (Graham Rogers), but it’s the story of the Nevilles that anchors the episode.
"Revolution" has probably the most intriguing premise of any new series this season. It stars a number of likable actors. The behind-the-scenes team has a proven track record in creating shows that balance strong serialized stories with well-drawn characters.
In other words, it seems to have all the ingredients to be the water-cooler show of the fall. It's probably not a good sign, though, that all we could think about as we were watching the pilot for the NBC drama, which premieres Monday (Sept. 17), was steam engines.
"Revolution" takes place 15 years after something makes everything that uses any form of electricity -- from your iPad to your car to the simplest light bulb -- stop working. We see the calamity in a prologue: Planes fall from the sky and all the lights go out. Chicagoan Ben Matheson (Tim Guinee) knows why, although he doesn't have time to tell his wife (Elizabeth Mitchell) and two young kids what's going on before the power goes out. He does, however, manage to download something very important to a flash drive/amulet.
The story then shifts to 15 years later. Society has reverted to a pre-industrial state, and what was the United States is now controlled by various militias. Ben is now a farmer, his kids Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and Danny (Graham Rogers) young adults. They live a reasonably peaceful life in a subdivision-turned-agrarian village.
Militiamen, however, soon come calling, led by a captain named Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito). They're looking for Ben (and presumably his magic flash drive), things get tense, people get shot and Danny ends up in the militia's clutches. Ben tells Charlie to go find his brother Miles ("Twilight" dad Billy Burke), who lives in what's left of Chicago. She and her traveling companions Maggie (Anna Lise Phillips) and Aaron (Zak Orth) find him, trouble finds them, there's a pretty cool swordfight and we're off and running.
