Starts this week on Sky. Detective crashes car with wife and son on board. His wife survives but his son doesn't, except when he goes to bed and wakes up again, she's dead and the son isn't.
He alternates between realities borrowing experiences from each to help with his life and work in the other.
I downloaded the series to date. Intriguing but I hope the find a way of wrapping it up at the end of the current 13eps because I think it's one of those that will be canned after that.

Yeah, looks like it will be canned: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/04/03/nbc-aw...
With that in mind, think I will cancel my series link.
Ended up deleting all the current episodes of Alcatraz for the same reason.

The problem with it appears to be that they have cleverly used the two realities to influence each other, but there's no clear indication that he is gaining any understanding of why the situation exists. And based on previous experience with shows, I would be surprised if the producers have an answer. As usual, they have a good idea/premise for a show but no ending in mind.
