Review of Oregon

Awake: Oregon (2012)
Season 1, Episode 5
6/10
Good, With A Caveat
17 March 2025
I find this series highly watchable. A great and unique premise plays out in each episode while main character Detective Britten solves two crimes with interesting crossover pieces. Suddenly there's a singular crime this time around to good effect. This one, however, is almost spoiled (not quite) by a terrible character. The FBI agent sent in to help is flat and totally, due to personal bias and motives, unbelievable. This character is both written and played terribly. Of course, Britten will prevail mostly, not completely, in spite of this. I'd say a better episode easily could have been written around the same basic story. There's a difference worth noting here and that is between the consecutive days (realities) for the first time we barely see Britten's wife, or son. Also, this episode skews almost completely to one of the two days instead of a 50/50 balance between the two. The dwelling on one day, and that crime, is a good move I'd say rearranging the basic formula of the show keeping interest up.
