R2 originaali, ei tekstitystä. 

All 15 episodes from Season 1 of the US sci-fi series. When young oceanographer Laura Daughtery (Lake Bell) discovers a massive underwater creature, her obsession to uncover the origins of this dangerous unidentified species leads her and others on an adventure through the darkest, deepest parts of the sea and the most sinister and shady places on Earth.

Surface lasted one season on NBC before cancellation, but Surface: The Complete Series on DVD will keep the show's exciting, Spielbergian suspense around for a long while. The primetime drama, involving several characters--in different parts of the world--all having similar brushes with fantastic creatures, instantly draws comparisons to Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Add a government conspiracy (complete with a cover story to force one community's evacuation) to prevent the public from learning of the existence of a previously unknown life form, and the parallels with Close Encounters grow thick. But it's not a problem: the many twists and turns in Surface's far-ranging storyline, and the nature of the species that slowly becomes a factor in the survival of the human race, are compelling on their own terms.

Created by twin brothers and television writers-producers-directors Josh and Jonas Pate (L.A. Dragnet), Surface stars rangy beauty Lake Bell as oceanographer and single mom Dr. Laura "Dee" Daughtery. While doing some research in a submersible at the bottom of the sea, Dee discovers a seemingly bottomless pit leading to astonishing depths in the Earth. But she also bumps into a sea monster that emanates electrical charges strong enough to wreak havoc with her vessel. Meanwhile, a Louisiana-based insurance salesman, Rich (Jay R. Ferguson), is traumatized when he sees his brother dragged away by a similar creature, and a 14-year-old boy, Miles (Carter Jenkins), raises one of the beasts after it hatches from an egg. Throughout all this, a scientist (Rade Sherbedgia) and a heavy-handed national security agent (Ian Anthony Dale) are trying to unlock the mystery of the species, which appears to be growing in number at the same time strange forces are affecting the oceans. Naturally, there's a story behind the story--government and corporate shenanigans and all that. That stuff gets a little tedious and, truth be told, a couple of the show's protagonists are among the most unlikable people seen in series television in a long while. But despite its premature end after a mere 15 episodes, Surface finally offers an original, unsettling, and even surreal vision of the world going through apocalyptic transformations. The final image of the final show lingers in the imagination a long time. --Tom Keogh

I have recently been enjoying a resurge of both American and British mini-series and basically chose this mainly because of it's bargain price. The first couple of episodes were interesting, pretty predictable and obvious plot and amusing sub-plot. After episode 3, it starts to pick up until by the end of the first disc it has become really gripping; twists and turns and many feasible explanations to the answer of what these creature are, where they're from and who is responsible. It really is edge of the seat stuff despite the ludicrous episodes intro narration. This is a must for those who love a fast pace marine based conspiracy series that has a healthy sprinkle of daftness just to stop it all getting to serious and to prevent it all going up it's own rear end! There's an air of Da Vinci Code-type race against time and lots of "they'll never get out of this" moments, usually at the end of every episode and some pretty good CGI throughout. I'm only giving 4 stars all because of the huge one and only fault I can find to critisise (apart from a second season). The DVD set has obviously been done on the cheap: no english subtitles, no time check and worst of all: The packaging boasts a host of extras such as "a making of" featurette, cast interviews and deleted scenes; (Yes, I know that's more than one, but I'm talking about other than the actual show). However there are no extras to be found anywhere, the last disc having only 3 episodes where all the rest are 4, (presumably where the extras where planned to be). Maybe I have a duff copy, in which case can someone let me know if their's has these missing features. Moaning aside though, this collection is worth every penny. Recommended for a wet weekend or a miserable day off work with the flu!
