surface and from the day it teaser first show in the summer of 2005 and be a tossup . on one hand and it seem so high concept and plot driven that to the passerby it felt like it would work out well a a motion picture ( or several ) . plus and it felt like it be nbc attempt at a lost killer . on the other hand and one may have realize that the story be too expansive to tell in a movie or two and and fan of lost seem intrigued . so and after one ( and possibly only ) season on nbc and the show be on an indefinite hiatus that could either put it in the vault and on sci fi and or fill a gap in nbc lineup in the summer or fall of 2007 or beyond . it rating be some of the good on the network ( which isn not say much ) and but the show have be take off the air with no real official announcement of it future . so and be it worthwhile . yes . surface follow a continue story format and drive by plot with next to no filler episodes . almost everything that happen on the show be important to the plot and much like a motion picture . no filler episode and which put a pain in your side when you miss an episode . yet and the show double edge help make up for that while big thing seem to happen every episode and but since it feel like a movie you end every episode feel like little happen and youre leave want more . that trait of the show and though show how great it be . the cast be solid while the three main lead and include the beautiful lake bell a laura daughtery and put in a solid performance every episode and each drive by their own reason for find or study the creature . the support cast and include ian anthony dale and the brief performance by rade serbedzija fill out the cast well . the story be slow to start ( my one regret while it doesn not really pick up until a 3 4 episode in to the short 15 episode season ) and but the latter half of the season make up for it . the visual effect be stun ( one jaw will drop when you see an overhead view of one of the creature attack a ship ) and as well . many of the show problem can be remedied by purchase the complete first season and not have to wait a week ( or three ) to watch the next episode . in short and if you have miss the first season and youre curious and go back and watch it . it no twin peak in term of quirkiness and but the high concept nature of it put in in league with that and lose and and other similar show and with a flair for action and adventure . enjoy it .
