Really I think you’re judging the show’s plot on the wrong criteria. It isn’t some copout that he’s in a coma; you see his life in the modern world in the first episode, see him hit by the car that sends him into his coma, and then the central conceit of the show is Sam trying to wake up from his coma while struggling to adapt to his new life and the world and people he doesn’t think are real – and growing increasingly attached to them, and sometimes wondering if his old life isn‘t the real hallucination.
The show plays with Sam’s perception of reality, but it doesn’t try to hide some kind of twist.
