Customer Reviews

"It is a new world."

I knew of the series on NBC and was interested. However, I have a life and cannot wait for week-in and week-out for a program that I have to record because I do not know if I will be there at the correct time. Therefore, I waited for the series to finish and watched it through. The series starts well with a handful of overlapping stories that are a little unnerving, switching back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Eventually, you can get used to that. One story is of a boy and his pet, which is more interesting to him than girls are. The other is that of a young oceanographer who finds something of "huge" interest at the bottom of the ocean. She teams up with an insurance salesman who just happens to be a jack-of-all-trades and several times a blunt force. They are pursued by a mysterious figure working for a multi-named cabal that is determined to keep the discovery secret even from the government. With each episode, we get a little more progress made towards the goal. In the meantime, we get to know the characters better. We may even fall in love with the boy's pet. Each episode has a cliffhanger for each of the sub-stories. Moreover, just like the Saturday afternoon serials pull everyone out of the fire at the last moment with some trick that we mortals never would have thought of (well, art is supposed to think of). In the end, if that is what it was, we are left with almost as many nagging questions as we started with. I believe they had full intentions of another season or at least a movie. In any case, this series is a real shocker.
