Synopsis

TV Series (1993-1996). 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.

Critics' reviews

"They should have spent less of that budget on computer graphics, scale models and sets—and more on the writing. This is drab melodrama."

People Magazine
"This derivative but technologically advanced series has a sufficiently interesting premise and enough high-tech toys to perhaps survive the hostile waters of Sunday night programming."

Jonathan Taylor: Variety
"The special effects and sets hold up, even if the characters don’t."

Collider
"Ham performances seem to be encouraged, perhaps as a means of keeping viewers puzzled in lieu of being enthralled."

John J. O'Connor: The New York Times
"So far, seaQuest hasn't achieved the kind of nuttily intricate, oddball- festooned plots that make the [Star] Trek shows objects of cult adoration."

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"It needs people stories instead of technology stories."

Howard Rosenberg: Los Angeles Times
"Too much is at stake for SeaQuest to remain this awful"

Matt Roush: TV Guide
