Surface

Surface is a science-fiction thriller on NBC, which aired fifteen episodes before being cancelled in May 2006. Originally intended as a mini-series with even fewer episodes, positive ratings led to the extension of the show before it was ultimately cancelled, leaving its outcome as a cliff-hanger. In Surface, strange things are happening in the oceans all around the world. Shooting stars fall out of the sky into the Caribbean Sea, an unknown carcass washes up on a public South Carolina beach, and Californian oceanographer Laura Daughtery (Lake Bell) is attacked by an unknown life form during a routine submersible dive in the North Pacific Ocean. Daugherty, North Carolinian teenager Miles Barnett (Carter Jenkins), and Louisiana man Richard Connelly (Jay R. Ferguson) join together to figure out what is going on. Their discovery of a new, beautiful, but often dangerous form of sea life is even further complicated by the government's attempts to keep the species secret. Oh, and then there is also small matter of an imminent world disaster. MORE
