Reviews
“seaQuest DSV brings ecologically minded, deep sea adventure to you in
neat, 45 minute doses. It offers a great (though underutilized) cast and a
fantastic sensory experience. The writing is never allowed to breathe, which is
a sign of an uncertain helm. The problem with seaQuest DSV isn't so much what is
there as what could be; it has more squandered potential than most shows have
potential in sum. If you can overlook that, seaQuest DSV is a gem.” DVD
Verdict
“…a cut above the typical television action series around at the
time, the one exception being the previously mentioned Deep Space Nine. Roy
Scheider is well cast as the reluctant commander of the vessel. He can pull of
the role of a man of science who also has to serve as the military command of a
large and powerful submarine. His character of Nathan Bridger is loosely based
on famed deep sea explorer Bob Ballard… SeaQuest is a welcomed part of this
growing trend of releasing cult classic TV.” hometheaterinfo.com
About SeaQuest
seaQuest DSV is an American science fiction television series created by
Rockne S. O'Bannon. It originally aired on NBC between 1993 and 1996. In its
final season, it was renamed seaQuest 2032. Set in “the near future”; the
year 2018, seaQuest DSV mixed high drama with realistic scientific fiction. It
originally starred film star Roy Scheider as Captain Nathan Bridger, designer
and commander of the titular naval submarine seaQuest DSV 4600. Jonathan
Brandis also starred as Lucas Wolenczak, a teenaged computer genius placed
aboard seaQuest by his father and Stephanie Beacham as Kristin Westphalen, the
chief medical officer and head of the seaQuest science department. In the third
season, Michael Ironside replaced Scheider as lead of the series and starred as
Captain Oliver Hudson. Also present was a dolphin character called Darwin who,
due to technological advances, was able to communicate with the crew. Steven
Spielberg served as one of the show's executive producers during the first two
seasons. wikipedia
