Storyline

By the mid-21st Century, humankind has colonized the oceans and formed the UEO--the United Earth Oceans--as a military organization to police it. Formerly a high-ranking member of the UEO, Nathan Bridger retired after the death of his wife, and retreated to an isolated island to study dolphins. An attempt is made to hijack the Seaquest DSV, the UEO's most powerful undersea vessel, and Nathan--its original designer--is convinced to return to active service, to assume command of it. His second in command is Cmdr. Jonathan Ford. In second season, the DSV added Dagwood, a prototype GELF (Genetically Engineered Life Form), Tony Piccolo, a man with surgically implanted gills, and Dr. Wendy Smith, a telepath/empath, to its crew of specialists. The series has New Age leanings, often presenting stories that deal with environmental issues or mix myth and mysticism--from ghosts to "gods"--into its science fiction.

Oportunity Lost!
31 August 2018 | by papajoefSee all my reviews

I had to chime in here. I had the greatest expectation for this show when it came out. While the first season needed a bit of help in the writing department... most do. But, while the principal reviewer credited the show with improved writing over the prevailing seasons... I most certainly do not. They forced too much change each season and the writing just continually got worse. I would love to go back to the end of the first season and redirect it on the same path it was on. I would push for better writing, but keep it on the same path. This series could have been a new "Star Trek," but instead it became a joke.
