Was it an hour-long dream from which you never wanted to wake up? Or a nightmare?

NBC premiered its wildly-anticipated, critically-beloved new drama last night, introducing viewers to the confounding, dueling worlds of Detective Michael Britten on Awake. We loved it.

Looking ahead to next Thursday, Laura Innes will debut as Michael's superior, someone concerned over his bizarre behavior, but not for the reasons you might think. The following NBC teaser for season one reveals that a much bigger conspiracy may be at work here. Might that car accident not have been an accident?

Sound off now with your take on Awake. What did you think of the pilot?
