** The different realities don't use so much different colors as different tonalities. The "red" reality is filmed primarily in warmer tones (yellowish incandescent light on the walls of the house, for example), while the "green" one uses cooler tones (ambient diffuse natural light inside the house).

A high-concept [[CopShow cop drama]] premiering on February of 2012 in which Police Det. Michael Britten, played by JasonIsaacs, lives a double life in two separate realities after being in a car accident with his wife and son. In one reality his wife, Hannah, (played by [[{{The 4400}} Laura Allen]]), survived the accident, but their son, Rex, (played by Dylan Minnette) did not. In the second reality, the exact opposite happens, Hannah dies but Rex did not. The show follows Britten going about his life in each reality, mourning for his wife, son, and ''both'', in the two realities. While he's moving between these two worlds, Britten also has to deal with trying to solve crimes in the standard CopShow procedural with a different partner in each reality. It's up in the air which if either of the realities is a dream.
