The first season of Seaquest was watchable, but this is utter garbage. Some of the only amusing characters are dumped and the entire Seaquest universe is changed from one of a semi-realistic future to complete fantasy. It is like the series was pillaged for every scrap of originality and likability it had and was replaced with a sorry copy-of-a-copy template into which the characters and story were forcibly inserted. Roy Scheider was correct to call the stories of season 2 "childish trash" and it's no wonder he abandoned this debacle of a series "evolution" after this season. I never write reviews, but I was stunned that no one had given this only 1 star so I had to stand up. The fact that the season starts the series in the ocean and ends it with Seaquest on some other planet fighting aliens that look like rejected dummies from a bad 1980's horror movie should be enough to convince you to steer clear if you still have any doubts. This is so bad, you can't even laugh. The urge I kept getting was to render myself unconscious.

I saw this show when it first aired and loved it. Just recently picked up Season 1 and 2 in an effort to keep my brain from seeping out of my ears with all the reality trash currently on tv.

I was expecting to not be as excited about the show, since I watched it originally through the eyes of a teenager, but I still very much enjoyed it. And am now re-watching with a friend of mine who has never seen it.

The character relationships were nicely developed, and continued to be as the series progressed. As with any series, there were some good episodes and bad. The acting was good, notably Roy Sheider, Stephanie Beacham and Jonathan Brandis, but, really, they were all good. Either they were well directed, or they were just very talented actors who knew just the right amount of emotion and depth to give to a scene.

The show mixed science fact with science fiction and for the most part was quite believable as something that could really be manufactured 12 years from now.

As with most early 90's shows, the CGI isn't perfect. You probably don't want to watch on an HD tv. But I can get past it because I really like the characters and most of the stories.

This is my favorite season by far.
