Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I loved this show. It was NBC's only decent sci-fi show since they canned Star Trek: TOS in the late 1960s. What we have is a show that parallels Star Trek in many ways yet instead of space travel this takes place underwater. Roy Scheider is Capt. Nathan Bridger who take command of Seaquest DSV an experimental vessel of UEO, which stands for United Earth Oceans. The show draws on many Star Trek principles such as exploration, science, and technology.
Season 2 introduced new characters to the crew and this is when the show's steady decline began. You had a character with gills, an empathtic doctor and a mentally difficient clone called Dagwood joining the crew. The storylines continued to get sillier as the crew battled aliens on other planets. I guess the writers ran out of ideas.
Finally season 3 saw the departure of Schieder as Capt. and the introduction of Micheal Ironside as the new CO. Dont get me wrong, I like Mr. Ironside but after the departure of so many key characters and then the subsequent departure of Scheider made me want to say goodbye to the show as well. Seaquest DSV was cancelled during the middle of its 3rd season.
Once again, a great show that had potential which was ruined by poor writing, frequent cast changes, and an audience that failed to embrace it.
