Revolution Season 2

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

All 22 episodes from the second season of the sci-fi drama executively produced by J.J. Abrams. Set in a post-apocalyptic world 15 years after all forms of electricity have mysteriously been shut down, the show follows Miles Matheson (Billy Burke), his niece Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and other rebels as they fight back against the powerful Monroe Militia. Sebastian Monroe (David Lyons), the militia general and former friend of Miles, is in the possession of special pendant devices that can activate weapons and machinery, which he plans to use to take over the United States. The episodes are: ‘Born in the USA’, ‘There Will Be Blood’, ‘Love Story’, ‘Patriot Games’, ‘One Riot, One Ranger’, ‘Dead Man Walking’, ‘The Patriot Act’, ‘Come Blow Your Horn’, ‘Everyone Says I Love You’, ‘The Three Amigos’, ‘Mis Dos Padres’, ‘Captain Trips’, ‘Happy Endings’, ‘Fear and Loathing’, ‘Dreamcatcher’, ‘Exposition Boulevard’, ‘Why We Fight’, ‘Austin City Limits’, ‘S**t Happens’, ‘Tomorrowland’, ‘Memorial Day’ and ‘Declaration of Independence’.

Fantastic series, sadly this is the last season of Revolution as NBC didn’t renew the contract for a third season. It was a fun ride to follow the gang of Miles, Charlie, Tom, (maybe not so much Rachel) and my favorite, Monroe. It’s a very fun two seasons but the end will leave a bad taste in your mouth, considering the Season 2 Finale was clearly never meant to be the end of the whole series, as it ends on something of a cliffhanger, and leaves many questions unanswered. I heard there was a comic series that wrapped things up in a nice bow, but I haven’t read it, and without it, there’s no real closure for the story and the characters that by now you’ve invested quite some time in. Nevertheless, you will enjoy the series throughout it’s two seasons, but you’ll have to imagine a good ending, because it’s nowhere to be found.-Luke Meyer

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.-slugger
