After ambitious oceanographer Laura Dougherty (Lake Bell) comes across an enormous creature underwater, she will not be satisfied until she has answers.

I was impressed by Surface and look forward to the coming weeks to provide the same level of entertainment. There is a lot going on during the pilot, setting the stage for future developments.

Variety 8 of 10
Fantastic concepts about strange underwater creatures must toe a delicate line or risk toppling into silliness, and this splashy NBC drama takes that plunge in its very busy premiere. Filled with riffs seemingly lifted out of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and any number of other Spielberg films, "Surface" actually appears well-positioned to do some business in this timeslot, but if the opener is any indication, this handsome, globetrotting series is going to have a difficult time avoiding a gradual descent into the abyss. - Brian Lowry
