Revolution: Season 2

This is great science fiction story with fantastic characters. One of my top favorite series. No surprise that Jon Favreau was involved with this one as well. There is a lot of conspiracy intrigue, good guys versus bad guys, and good moral/ethical dilemmas. The series ended too soon before the final season could be created so it leaves you wanting more. Apparently, the final season was put into a comic book format to wrap up the story for die-hard fans. I've watched the series twice and will probably watch it again every year.

Wonderful & weird Siri meets Civil War with some of the top Scifi actors and great new additions.

This dvd set was in brand new condition and at a great price. What more could you ask for!

I might have already been asked by Amazon to give a review on this series, but if not, I'd just like to be safe and mention a few words here. I really love the show and the cast, but there's just one thing getting a bit old for me: the violence and the sword fighting. Some episodes are genuinely interesting, like the wowie zowie cliffhanger of season 1. Very interesting, revealing, in a word, I loved it very much. But so many episodes just have a general plot that doesn't matter episode to episode, with a lot of sword fighting throughout. It's getting hard for me to remember now what's going on except that they are moving towards one destination or another, fighting their way through it with swords, bows, and arrows, without much mattering, in the end. That's just what is in my memory. The series Grim was getting this way for me, too, but then suddenly, they started to at least change a little bit each ep, making it interesting, doing things a little out of step. Revolution just needs a little kick start, with more brainy stuff for the audience to think about and chew on, a little bit more intelligence infused into the series, rather than just watch the same old sword and crossbow fighting. I sincerely hope that we can see a little bit more, which is actually interesting to the minds of the viewers. But I really believe it does have a lot of potential. I believe that we will see this borne out or not, if the writers, producers, directors, or whoever can get more creative and interesting in their writing.

This post semi-apocalyptic drama has more plot twists than I can remember in a t.v. program in a long time. If you haven't been following this from the beginning it is worth your time to watch every episode from the very beginning of the series. It is somewhat reminiscent of the real life drama that is unfolding today with the stories of NSA spying and government scandals and corruption, only on a smaller scale and in a low-tech society. It pits tyrannical leaders who believe they are keeping the peace against revolutionaries who are searching for a way to restore civilization to it's former state while opposing the many leaders of the new societies that have formed out of necessity. It is a story of determination and self reliance, as well as a story of friendships, rivalries, and associations founded on needs and the strains of reliance on others to aid in survival at a time where betrayal is as commonplace as true friendship. Characters are shrouded in a shade of gray, sometimes portrayed as good and at other times revealing a dark inner self that rises up in times of despair. It is a variation on the novel "Lord of the Flies" with adults playing the starring roles rather than children, and involving more plot twists and greater flexibility in settings and situations. Even if you haven't followed this show from the start, you can be entertained by the action that is found in nearly every episode, though you will find the story line a bit confusing, especially with the flashbacks of the characters and looks at their personal histories and what events shaped them to survive in the new world.

Has to resurface a couple of the discs but the price was good so it was worth it

I will miss this show. And don't let three stars lead you to think it wasn't good. Revolution is good, but what should have been a complete story was reduced to rubble by NBC's decision to cancel the show. Season 2, like Season 1, stumbled on occasion. There were episodes that reminded me of the era of Lost where Jack is getting beaten up on a beach because his tattoo is insulting. There were times when I thought they were dragging the story out to stretch it to a 6th or 7th Season. The thing is you can't do that in Season 2. Anyway, I have a theory. Nobody watches TV shows when they are on, especially on network TV. A lot of people DVR episodes but it is hard to get to everything and some shows get lost in the shuffle. On a long rainy weekend it is a lot easier to start a DVR binge with a show that has ten episodes rather than 20 +. At some point, though, people will start binge watching the show, probably when it hits Netflix. They will tell other friends, and so on, and in about three years people will be mumbling to themselves why did NBC cancel this gem. This show is the Jericho of our times, and people will love it when they find it. What NBC did to this show is exactly why I am on Amazon. Make more room for moronic reality based trash, less for well thought out, well written gold like Revolution.

CAUTION MINOR PLOT SPOILERSSPOILERSThis season had an excellent build up by the previous season and had you hooked about the twist. Sadly it all just falls apart the story seems to stagnate after a few episodes and it seems like it’s stuck in time. The twist from the ending of season one is so poorly handled it is actually quite annoying. The unrealistic things about season 1 such as overpowered main characters gets even worse and characters change allegiances so many times betraying their own personalities from season 1. The flip flopping of sides became laughable it got to the point I didn’t know how many times a character had fought for and against another it was too many. Also this series was cancelled so it ended it a cliffhanger, my advise it don’t start watching this.

One of the best acted sci-fi series with some of the best plot lines and themes ever produced on t.v. or cinema. Absolute shame series three was never produced - so for that reason it feels slightly incomplete at the end - as if you are watching a mile race and it ends after 1000 metres instead of going the whole 1600 metres. And still it's for me the best sci-fi series ever.

Definitely worth buying although there are only two seasons! I love this series. It is such a shame America cuts off so many good quality series like this-don't they realise how much money they could make just out of the DVDs! Well perhaps they do and that's the whole point. Shame. Sorry I digress, excellent viewing, I recommend it!

Nice to see.

Disk 3 will only play halfway. It wont let me fast forward etc. I have a high end blue ray player, so must be a bad quality disc. Not impressed
