James M. gave it a10: I loved this show..and never missed a single episode at all...I wish that they would have kept this show on the air. I think its time for a network that will show nothing but canceled shows that audiences enjoy.
Rach E. gave it a9: The intellectual standard must not always be met to deliver an entertaining piece. This show, it one such case. While diverting from plausibility at times each episode is consistently entertaining with a charismatic leading cast. It's a fun hour to have with enough curious plot twists to tickle the imagination. It's a simple, honest show that deserves to be en joyed for the purity of what it is. A good program.
Adrian H. gave it a10: Absolutely fantasic, an original story line that breaks the boundries of scifi and the family, a must for any family with teenage kids and parents alike
julie y gave it a10: I loved this show and was very disappointed when it was cancelled
Masha M gave it a9: My 9-year-old son and I happened to stumble on the Surface just this year on the re-runs and we are both very disappointed that it only made thru first season. WE are bog fans of the Stargate and that is canceled too. Some people mentioned Lost-- Lost had me lost, it felt like too complex to follow. Maybe Surface was too simple for the critics, but it sure made sense. I am so sick of getting hooked on the show and have the network cancel it. And, no, Sci-Fi channel won't pick it up either, they really don't care about the fans. It is really too bad!
Walter D gave it an8: What happened with the show? It's over? Without disclosing the specimen origin's? It was a good show, with a very good argument, but it lost a lot when the scientist (i don't remember his name) was killed.
maridy n gave it a10: Its so captivating that my whole family fell for it! It was so good! It is the best series our family has seen in a long time,to bad we found that out by buying the dvd! WOW now we want more! This show ROCKS! I don't know anyone that could sit through one episode without wanting to see more! This show is a big hit! BRING ON MORE!
Mike M gave it a10: I'm not a big sci-fi fan but, Surface is the best No matter how busy I was I always made time to watch every episode. This is one show that needs to be brought back!
Craig V gave it a10: I just watched this on DVD. I cannot believe a TV-Show of this quality even made it to network TV - and then cancelled. Everything about this show was done right, great acting, effects, pacing, cinematography, EVERYTHING. BRING THIS SHOW BACK!! If not on NBC then some other network, please.
Linda S gave it a10: I didn't know it was canceled. I was hoping to see it as a mid season replacement. Now, I'm sad. Please bring it back.
Max E gave it a4: If you're looking for so-called 'sci-fi' miniseries,i prefer you to watch Stargate SG-1.And if you're looking for mysterious and thrill one,i bet you should see LOST or Prison Break .Everything about this show is quite predictable,no stunning scene,..with the pretty silly dialogue..and one more thing..please use high quality FXs..this is sci-fi,rite?
Alfred C gave it a9: Loved this show
Kathy V gave it a10: Very interesting show. I can't believe they cancelled it. I guess shows with imagination don't make it on TV any more.
Tanja M. gave it a10: It's a really great show. You never know what is going to happen next. All the smug critics cited above are just trying to outdo each other with their 'witty' comments.
Chris L gave it a10: Loved the show..one that I would rush home to see. Am very bummed it is cancelled. All my kids would actually sit and watch quietly for the full hour. Please bring it back!
Cheryle M gave it a10: I can't believe they cancelled 1 of the best shows.. I really looked forward to seeing this show every week. I'm really disappointed in the network for letting this show go !!! How stupid can you be !!!!
del m gave it a10: great show, good plot, good characters, suspenseful. I can't believe they didn't bring it back earlier.
Sherri H gave it a9: Please bring Surface back - it was such a great show!!!!!
Reggie gave it a10: Great story, great plot, great characters...can't say anything wrong about this show.
Connie S gave it a10: Boycott all NBC shows, until Surface comes back. I know I will. Was watching a couple of their new shows. No more NBC, they should have ordered more 1st season, so the story line could have been drawn out more, then to cancel it! Can you say S-T-U-P-I-D???
Kate D gave it a9: I'm a lit. teacher and I know this show was flawed, but it was flawed in all the right ways! Big, messy, exciting, compelling, and driven by a fantastic female character. I'm so disappointed it is cancelled.
BEttye R gave it a10: Best Sci-Fi I have seen. What a shame not to continue, all newspaers were neg and those who watched week after week were positive.
amy s gave it a10: I loved this show !!!!!!! I know when the critics don't like something then the program will be great! This goes for everything -- tv, movies, plays, etc. what world do they live in? BRING BACK SURFACE!!!! As usual we are left wondering what next was going to happen
Christina H gave it a10: This is one of the best shows I have watched. The suspense was awesome you knew somethings were going to happen but you didn't know if it would turn out like you thought and it didn't. I really hate when networks cut a show after only a few episodes or even a year you leave people haning.
Surface Rulez gave it a10: Surface was about all that was worth watching last season...
Cristina A gave it a10: I love SURFACE, bring it back!!!
Michael A gave it a10: This show was one of the first TV series I could sit down and enjoy in about 5 years and trust me i've tried. It was original, innovative and though it didn't seem like it could have lasted longer tha none more season, another 15 episodes could have told the conclusion to the story. We missed out because the Winter Olympics hit, that like life is not fair. 30 episodes have finished many of my fav. shows, Cowboy Bebop is one of them (yes its a cartoon but it didn't need 2000 episodes like the simpsons.) if anything a Mini-series event should finish out the conclusion.
Jay VH gave it a10: bring it back - we love it. We hate when you leave a show hanging!
Sherry D gave it a10: I really injoyed the show. For me it was filled with great lengths of suspense. I was always wondering what was gonna come next, I couldnt wait to see the next show to air. BRING IT BACK.
[Anonymous] gave it a7: I still like it.
heather a gave it a10: I'm very disappointed this show was cancelled. My 7-year old and I were waiting all summer for this to come back on.
nathan s gave it a10: this show ws incredible, it kept me on my feet wanting to know what was going ot happen next. i loved how there was one main plot and a whole bunch of sub-plots leaking off the main plot. please bring it back! i really want to know what happens next!
isvar p gave it a10: An imaginative and original show. BRING IT BACK!
sandra u gave it a10: Love the show, and I can't stop watching it. There are not too many shows out there that makes you look forward to the followng week to see what's going to happen.
Roland V gave it a6: The show has some good special effetcs. But one character polutes/destroys the whole show. Its that enoying kid that took care of that little creature Nim Nimrod ?, it all smells to much ET !!! (lack of fantasy) . The character seems so stupid, for one example he doesnt tell anybody about the creature, and dont even tell others other weird stuff that happends. Im going to stop seeing this silly show.
Paul L gave it a10: NBC needs to fire those in charge of cancelling surface. Great show---bring it back please!
Robert T gave it a10: It's a great show and I have waited for the second season to start for some time now. Bring it back please!!!!
leigh r gave it a10: please do a season 2
Peter L gave it a10: - Great show. Rather watch this show than ( Prison Break ). NBC should be proud to have a hit new series.
Jeff S gave it a10: One of the best Sci-fi to hit TV in years
Julie E gave it a10: what a joke!!!!! surface and invasion cancelled. who decides this crap, obviously not the viewers. Fall tv will suck.
Greg S gave it a10: Best Shoe on TV.
Bil A gave it a10: AWSOME show. Hopefully NBC will pick it up.
Samantha S gave it a10: I love this show. I was extremely upset to find out that the show had been cancelled. I watched every single episode of the first season. The characters were interesting and the graphics were very upscale for television.
Stephan R gave it a10: It´s fantastic!!
Matt U gave it an8: Pretty entertaining. A little heavy on the Spielberg cloning, and I'm not crazy about the "ET phone home" story with the kid and his alien pet that the evil government is after, but the overall plot is moderately engaging. The so-called "science" is laughable (e.g. calling an egg-laying amphibian a "mammal"), but hey, it's Hollywood, right?
Rena M gave it a10: Since the show apperently isn't comming back and som many people liked it so much they should come back w/ a move explaining what happened afterwards. It wouldn't be hard they left the story open enough to go back and explain a lot.
tom b gave it a10: one of the better shows along with invasion. never should have been cancelled.
D not telling gave it a10: One of the best TV Series! True creative genius is shown here. Very intertaining and the FXs are wonderful.
Jenny A gave it a10: My husband and I really enjoyed the show and am currious as to what's next. Please don't leave us hanging without answers!
Jason Z gave it a10: I loved surface and the season finale really left me wanting more. I hope they bring it back!
Cathy G gave it a10: I thought this was one of the best shows that was on NBC. I think that the critics have no Imagination, this is suppose to be a what if show, it makes you think of all that could happen. Its just fun. I am hoping they will bring it back. I have watch the reruns and now I am buying the DVD...So please let us know what will happen next..Just like they show alot..
Jessica B gave it a10: Stumbled across this show by accident and VERY happy I did. The critics need an enema. Honestly all that gobbledy-gook they spew is asinine. Just shut up and enjoy a thoroughly entertaining show for a change! Loved it. Is it coming back?????
Mandy M gave it a10: Please bring this show back! My husband and I will be extremely upset if not! We became addicted to the show the first time it aired.
Bonnie A gave it a10: I'm not sure yet if this show is coming back, but I would be highly disappointed if it doesn't. The critics who watched this must not like a genuine sci-fi thriller. I watch a lot of shows and this one kept me interested.
Carolin O gave it a10: I rarely watch sci-fi shows. But this one I enjoyed and couldn't wait until the next one. I've been looking to see if it is this fall's lineup! Would very upset if it doesn't return. So......what ever happen to making the viewers happy?!
Donna Marie M gave it a10: From Ireland - downloaded it on Itunes - best show ever had my family addicted. Have to bring it back would be stupid not too, best thing since xfiles.
Mike T gave it a10: This is one of the best TV shows ever! I love it!
Delilah H gave it a10: I like this show, its my favorite show. I think that there should be more about Miles though. I'd like the show to come back for a second season, if it doesn't I will be very, very bummed.
Amos L gave it a10: i can't beleive the critics what the hell show are they looing at this show was great
Lu de S gave it a10: Please brings this show back!!!

Robert D gave it a10: My favorite show last year really pissed if it doesn't come back!!
Michael C gave it a10: Excellent Sci-Fi Drama
Sigrid M gave it a10: Great show
Nancy W gave it a10: One of the best sci-fi programs I have ever seen! I could hardly wait for the next show. I really got attached to the story line and the people in the show. I can't believe they cut this show, every one of my friends are/were Surface junkies
Kathryn B gave it a10: This was one of only two or three shows we watched regularly. We were looking forward to season two!
Don G gave it a10: I was looking to see when season 2 comes on again we loved it. if it was cancelled because of some moron critics that sucks!
Pascal B gave it a10: Hope that NBC will change there mind and go with a second season. If not it will be really sad... SURFACE is the best sci-fi series i've seen in the past 5 years.
rebecca m gave it a10: Great family television. One of the few television shows this book reader would watch. I'm sure they will replace it with another cop or detective show. ugh!!
Leah K gave it a9: I liked it, the acting wasnt all that great but it was entertaining, and thats not that easy with all the crap thats on t.v. now-a-days. They should have at least kept it around one more season. Instead they let the stupid critics ruin it.
Chris B gave it a10: NBC should be ashamed, This was the first show from NBC I actually watched and enjoyed tremendously. Please rethink your decision.
Jenn D gave it a10: My favorite show last season! It's a shame NBC shot themselves in the foot by not keeping it!!
Haley S gave it a10: I loved this show it kept you on the edge of your seat.And I absolutly loved how the season ended. I'm real mad because now I'll never get to know what happened.
Sykvia W gave it a9: I thought it to be very entertaining. Did not miss an episode. It was good scifi.
Brian L gave it an8: While the show does lack a little bit in the acting department, I still "like" the characters in that I actually kinda care what happens to them. Thats hard to do especially given the wild story line (which is the main strength of the show). It is cheesy. It has cheep thrills. But neither of those comments are meant to be negative. Its not trying to be a serious movie, its a sci fi action/suspense romp. I certainly hope they pick up a season 2. What I tell people about this show is that its like a good sci-fi novel. I can't wait to see the deeper motivations and corruption that spawned the monsters and.... is Rick's Bro Alive?
Patrick S gave it a10: This Series was Awsome! It gave out alot of personal veiws about the whole point of the show! 2 thumbs WAY WAY up!
Edwin K gave it a9: I thought it was good TV entertainment.
Tyler B. gave it a10: the critics do take it to hard they probably dont even watch the show. It makes me mad because I wanted to know what happens in the 2nd season but the stupid critics ruined it.
David G gave it a10: What do the critics no about good old SciFi. Wake up NBC are you that stupid ? Give the people what they Like & not what the critics like. Surface season 2.
Samantha gave it a10: The first two episodes were a little iffy, but it improved and ended up being my favorite show EVER.
leslie c gave it a10: kept the tension going throughout. humorous too.
Phyllis W gave it a10: Love the show. Very entertaining lets me escape from this life!
bill l gave it a10: cutting edge graphic's intruiging one of the best sci fi show to date
m colwell gave it a10: Great Show Sci-Fi should pick it up, NBC needs to wake up,taking shows like this off is why its always last in the ratings.
Jean S gave it a10: Has this show been cancelled? I hope not, its my favorite show.
Janet S gave it a10: This show had more surprises than "Lost," and is actually based on real science. This type of speculation about the impact of science and technology on nature is the best of the science fiction genre. Surface is a fast pace drama that offers food for thought.
Phillip S gave it a10: I think that the show is awesome. I hope that their will be another season.
Randy A gave it a10: I just viewed the SciFi channel's marathon of 7 episodes from season 1. I thought the show was outstanding and kept me on the edge of my seat. Maybe SciFi will pick it up and continue this intruiging story!
Lisa M gave it a10: I think this show is awesome. I am not a big fan of scifi but the end of each episode found me wanting to see more. I have been looking forward to the 2nd season and just found out that is was cancelled. The critics can stuff it, Surface was the only show I have watched on NBC since Friends. Guess I'll stick to Fox
corey c gave it a10: i love surface, please bring it back for another season
Bo G gave it a9: I loved this show.....figures they would cancel it. I thought it to be one of the best shows on TV. Well..it's not the first tike the jerks that run the networks canceled great shows.
kim n gave it a10: the show was great you get pulled in by the story its so refreshing to see something other than the usual shows in which typical critics find interesting
ron g gave it a9: I think that critics look too hard for what's wrong, instead of giving it a chance first. all of my family and friends loved this show, and were disappointed when it was canned. what a shame. i still hold out hope. the plot has a lot of potential, the effects are good, and the characters are genuine people you root for.
Robert E gave it a10: great show... moving plot, doesn't cheat me with cheap cliff-hangers... the plot and plot tension between episodes are legitimate to the story... they do an excellent job of suspending reality and nothing ever happens that makes me say "wait, that's not consistent with what happened earlier" hope we have a season 2
Lipwah L gave it an8: grest suspense without actual bllod & guts
Rey A gave it a10: I love this show. I can't believe it's being cancelled. I used to laugh when Jay Leno makes fun of NBC BIg Wigs on why their ratings are bad. Now I agree. What's wrong with this show? It was exciting, had a great plot, focused on current environmental issues. The characters were normal everyday people. I can only hope that another network picks it up.. Pull your heads out NBC before it's too late. Renew Surface!!!!!!!!! John Q. Public has spoken.
Luann W gave it a10: I love this show...it takes away from reality to a different world...
Lionel A gave it a9: The show started off kinda slow but, really picked up after the first 3 episodes. I loved the show. Bring it back.
Jeff K gave it a10: fun, entertaining and suspensful show to watch. Always wondering what's next.
Ryan M gave it a10: Surface is one of the better sci-fi shows out right now
Mark C gave it an8: My family and I really enjoyed this show, and I'd still like to know how the saga ends.
DENISE R gave it a10: I love this Show; every week my 5 kids and I would sit in the living room just to see what was going to happened that week... and that's rare..It unique; exciting; you laugh you cry it all in one. It's not the same old boring shows & plots they give every week... We want more....you guys are awesome ;finally something we look forward to seeing....Thank You; Denise & my kids
Scott H gave it a10: They don't make good SciFi like this anymore. Enough with reality TV! I want entertainment that doesn't come from the intelligence level of an ape. Please save us from TV retardation!
Kevin G gave it a10: I Love this show, I cannot wait to see what happens after the last seasons cliff hanger
Lizzy S gave it a10: This show is the best show EVER. I never knew they canceled it, i haven't seen anything on it. Me, my mom, and dad watched every week. And the way they ended the first season, i was really looking forward to the second season, I can' t believe the canceled it, it rocked.
Gin E gave it a10: They cancel a show because the reviewers say "they did not like it" but they'll keep reality crap on TV that make normal people hate their lives. Good Job you dumb jerks. My whole family loved the show which is rare
Shae G gave it a10: This is a great show and I cannot wait for Season 2!
Jennifer R. gave it a9: I love this show. I can't wait for the next season. Please bring this show back. You can' just leave us hanging on the roof of a building surrounded by water. Can I have a small version of the creature, like the boy has.
oldfogey gave it a9: Started off weakly, but the the last several shows picked up the plot development pace. Looking forward to Season 2.
Regina B gave it a10: I've been wondering where the show went. I really looked forword to every week. I can't believe it was cancelled either.
Anneke J gave it a10: My whole family has been waiting for surface to come back in the fall. I can't believe it was cancelled. It was one show we could all watch together. I sure hope someone else picks it up!
Michael B gave it a9: I hope this show comes back, give it a chance, Is there no room for niche shows?
Donna G gave it a9: This was a very enjoyable Sci-fi. It may not have been feasible, but it sure makes you wonder what the human race is doing to its own environment!! Hey, if it had been a reality show it would have lasted, they should have eaten bugs or maybe walked a tight rope over the creatures. Well maybe fear factor can do that one! Get rid of the 15 minute famers and get back to some teeth sinking shows!!!
Michael B gave it a10: My son and I watched this show every week. It was fun and I wish that Nimrod was coming back.
Valerie L gave it a10: Wonderful SciFi is hard to come by. This show had something a family could enjoy together. Maybe the SciFi channel will pick it up.
Richard S gave it a9: Show got better as it went along; the characters got more interestin.; Hopefully SciFi chanel will pick it up as the suits at NBC haven't got the brains to continue it. No wonder they are lagging in the ratings war.
Amy B gave it a10: I can't believe this was cancelled.. it was great scifi and the plot was getting better and better...why do they always drop the good stuff?
Guilherme gave it a10: I love Surface, plz come back to the second season,
Melanie C gave it a10: Critic's never cease to amaze me in their utter ignorance. And it also never ceases to amaze me when really GOOD shows get canceled, like this one. NBC should be ashamed of itself and the critics who gave this a bad review should be fired. I found this show brilliant, engaging, well-acted, fabulously cast, gung ho, straight edge sci-fi BLISS. I'm guessing it was simply TOO smart and escapist for the ignorant masses of reality TV show watching general population ~ the kind of people who lack in imagination or intelligence. I really hope the creators try to get the Sci-Fi channel or someone else to pick this show up and move forward with it, because it was absolutely brilliant.
Lanie C gave it a9: I saw one episode while I was babysitting and was HOOKED! I've showed a little to my mom, it was enough for her to buy our cable back!
Tony D gave it a10: Please Save Surface
leah g gave it a10: i love this show thats why it needs to come back to NBC or tell me when its coming to a different channel like sci-fi i love it and carter jenkins is so cute
Thomas H gave it a10: Great show. Best in a long time
Nick gave it a10: Kept me hooked and fulfilled all of my sci-fi fixes! I love this show, Sci-fi better pick it up!!! please!!!!
Greg P gave it a10: I watched this series again on Universal HD and loved it. I WANT MORE!!!!!
Steve M gave it a10: A great show. What do the "critics" know?!?!
Eli gave it a10: Awsome show. Please bring it back!!!!
Luana W gave it a10: I hope this show will be returning in 2006.
Judi B gave it a10: I loved it! Shame on NBC for nixing it.
AmberLee J gave it a10: In spite of the rare negative comments given by the sour grapes whose opinions of bad acting and plot lines stem from their own inadequate and jeolous lives, I found Surface to be refreshing, captivating and inventive. When I heard it was not going to return to NBC, I was very dissapointed, to say the least. What idiot made that decision, and can he/she be fired? Bring Surface Back!!!
[Anonymous] gave it a9: Surface is truly a great show. My family and I only watch three shows; 24 (the best show ever!) American idol and Surface. I love surface and I hope NBC brings it back!
Kevin M gave it a10: the best show on NBC by FAR....
MZ V gave it a10: Love the show. Hate the show disappeared. Any word on it's return?
JERMAINE B gave it a10: one good show!!!!!!!!!!!!
David R gave it a10: Great show-not at all like the other boring shows on NBC. Keep it!
Chris D gave it a10: tis is a great show , a new version of spielbergs imagination, this show must continue
tina h gave it a10: Unique and interesting. The networks no longer give a show a chance. They run a couple of episodes these days and then cancel the show. This show needs to be given a second chance.
Kel T gave it a10: I finally saw all 15 episodes and I just love it!! It's definitely one of the best sci-fi shows around!
Darren H gave it a10: i'm Brittish and love the show. The public's opinion is what matters the most, not that of critics. I have introduced my friends to the show and they are addicted ! It should stay.
Cynthia F gave it a9: My whole family loves it and were anxiously waiting for it's return to Monday night.
Brad gave it a10: GREAT SHOW,,, cannt get enough of it .. to find out at the end of the season that its man made ,, WOW,, Cannt wait for season 2,,, Cheer's Mates keep it up
Rob K gave it an8: When is the second season happening?
LESLIE G gave it a9: Although the storyline is a bit of a reach, that is what makes this show stand apart. The actors and drama in each episode keep the suspense level up enough to justify staying up past bed time to find out what happens next.
carla g gave it a10: This is one of the best shows on T.V., me and my son watch it every monday. We also would give it an 11 if we could . Those critics don"t know good T.V.
Angel gave it an8: better than all the other 'there's something out there' shows!! good stuff!! one of my favorite shows from the season..can't wait for season 2!
[Anonymous] gave it a10: Just b'coz I cant give it eleven
Rebecca F gave it a10: I love this show so much it is a great thriller it kept me on the edge of my seat at some points in the show!!! I can't wait until next season!!!
Nikki W gave it a10: I can't wait untill the second season!
Vicky S gave it a10: I find this sho is great, it have suspense and is very interesting. I think NBC should bring back the second season. I dont understand why people will spect a Scienc fiction, pay attention to the last word fiction would be believable.
mike c gave it a10: I loved the show. It was the best i have seen in a long time. I hope it comes back on
Apryl T gave it a10: My family really enjoyed this television series, we are huge sci-fi fans. We would like to know when this show will be back for it's next season.
Misty F gave it a10: I love this show!! Its refreshing and something NEW!! I'm just hoping that they bring it back for a second season.
susanne h gave it a10: We watched as a family. My kids and I loved the show. We could not wait for the next week. I was interesting and different. Everything on the tv today is about murder, law, sex, and being gay. I am not against this totally. However, it was nice to actually have a plot that was new....I did not have to keep telling my kids to close their eyes...
Leoni D gave it a10: I agree with others - this is a breath of fresh air from the reality shows medical and lawyer shows. I love Lost and I put this up there with Lost because they are the only 2 shows that I look forward to watching. NBC PLEASE BRING BACK A 2nd SEASON!!!
Bob G gave it a10: very real actors in an unreal situation...they make it believable and there's something that makes you want to be a part of their experience
Daniel from the deep gave it a9: Intriguing episode after episode, one of the best scifi shows around!!
Steve G gave it a10: This is a GREAT show and I don't care what critics say. 1st of all they have been know to be wrong MANY TIMES and we're going to base decisions solely on 39 individuals. I think you should let the views decide, obviously you can clearly see that there is a loyal following and it's growing. Give it the time and respect any show deserves compared to all that reality garbage that's out there... for we need a change! The show is great and I enjoy it tremendously!
Chad D gave it a10: BEST SHOW ON TV. I love this show and if NBC dosent give it a second season they are crazy. I cant think of one reason this show should not be up for a second season
fazuley a gave it a10: just a one question from my side when will the second series start
Marlys D gave it a10: Surface was the only show that ws different from, doctors, investigators, lawyers & reality shows. Nimrod is endearing and watching his responses to being with Miles...the two love eachother. I and all my friends, including those on the internet love Nimrod and wnt him back.
Phillip C gave it a9: This is the best show that NBC has put out in years. It has captured the limited attention span of my wife (not a scifi fan), three sons (ages 13, 12 and 12), and me (a young baby boomer). NBC has got to get its act together!!!
Bob W gave it a10: Does anyone know if "Surface" is coming back for a second season?
Amanda F gave it a10: My family all love it . One of the best shows ever . Myles and Nim were truly the stars . Hope it comes back because I know we will be desperately waiting for another season.
Chad N gave it a10: i think that SURFACE was the best show on tv when it was on. i really hope it ill be on for a second season, it would be terrible if it just stopped and we couldn't watch any more of the awesome tv show. SO HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS CAN GET THIS TV SHOW UP FOR A SECOND SEASON
Chris A gave it a10: Awsome show, I hope there's a second season.
gary w f gave it a10: one of the best shows on tv to date. c'mon you can't leave us hanging!!
Lisa B gave it a10: Fantastic Show which caught my eye considering i rarely watch TV, however i have trouble finding it again as the last two times it has been on a different times and this week it is on neither of the previously times and seem to have disappeared altogether. When the bloody hell is it on again please!
Pixel gave it a9: It started of slow and fairly corny but then grew into this amazing story that kept us guessing. The last episode was truely on of the best things I've ever seen on TV, I'm still trying to get my heart rate back down. Here's hoping for season 2 and a DVD release soon.
Hugo M gave it an8: What will happen after the tsunami strikes the East Coast? NBC can't leave us with this question.
Cathy S gave it a10: Surface had me at nim. This is such a great show for all ages. It's fun; exciting; thrilling and any other wonderful thing that can be said. I am anixously awaiting the second season. So NBC hear us!! We want Surface back.
Katie B gave it a10: I have been waiting and waiting to catch this show since I first saw the trailer for the beginning of it, but I didn't catch it until now! I've only seen on episode, well into the season and have no idea what's going on, but I am absolutely completely hooked! Brilliant show, and I love the creatures!
Jay F. gave it a10: Finally a sci-fi show that is a great combination of the Speilberg films and the old monster movies we all grew up watching.
Carmen H gave it a10: Great show that caught my eye.
Charles K gave it a10: Surface and Battlestar Galactica are the two best shows on television.
Christopher g gave it a10: Great show, I too can't wait for new episodes. Sad to learn that NBC might can it.
Daigo V gave it a10: Surface is... misterious, appealing, exciting. A good mix of Sci-fi and drama, it really appeals an audience that is widely ignored by most commercial free TV. I offer Two Toes way UP!
Mina H gave it a10: Ignore the know-it all, seen-it-all critics and professional cynics. "Surface" has great storytelling and is consistently well acted and written. This is a great deep sea mystery/conspiracy yarn that maintains multiple suspenseful storylines with just the right mix of action and human drama. Lake Bell is (surprise!) terrific.
Duane S gave it a9: Love the show. Look forward to each new episode. Beats the hell out of "reality shows". The critics take all the fun out of story telling. They get too artsy fartsy and don't just take things for what they are. I think this is great entertainment! Hope it stays on for as long as possible.
Joe M gave it a9: Awesome show! I can't wait for each episode every week. If you like Sci-fi, but down to earth style, you will love surface!
Dan gave it a0: Suckage. If you want good sci-fi, watch Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and/or Battlestar Galactica. On Sci-Fi channel 122 (satellite). New episodes every Friday. Watch it. The Neilson meter will look good if you do.
Jessica N gave it a10: I love this show. All the people who spewed vitriol on the show must have only seen one episode or part of one episode. And since when is Speilbergian an insult?
Kyle R gave it a1: Some of the absolute worst garbage I've ever seen foisted on the public as "science fiction." The idea of ancient giant reptilian seamonsters threatening the world isn't the worst idea, but everything about the rest of the show is just flat awful. Of COURSE the government is killing people to cover up something that obviously can't be kept covered up. Of COURSE there's a couple plucky people who manage, against all odds, to find proof of the seamonsters. Of COURSE a kid finds an egg from of one of these creatures and *GASP* forms a special bond with it. Etc. etc. etc. The only things more cliche than the lines are the characters (evil government man running the cover up, outcast kid hiding a mysterious creature from everybody, blah blah blah) and virtually every line of dialogue is clunky and unconvincing. The special effects are also obscenely substandard for this day and age, even for a TV miniseries, with heavy use of dark, murky underwater shots to gloss over obviously cheap computer effects. I'm not a big fan of Spielberg, but comparing this show to pretty much ANYTHING he's ever made would be a complete insult to him. If there was any justice, the very next episode would end the series, culminating in the destruction of the world of such stupid, shallow characters.
Jeff F gave it a10: The Best show!!!!!!!! Better than Lost and all the others. The critics are out of touch with good entertainment and impossible to please so to hell with them.
micke s gave it a10: Awsome show!, i never miss an episode, so cool!
A P gave it a9: What do the critics know? Of course it's far fetched and at times, most of the time, unbelievable, after all it's Sci-fi! I recommend it, it's a good watch for the entire family.
bruce d gave it an8: Great effects. Story line interesting but takes place in too many places. The submarine construction never would work esp at that depth. Savannah is hot like to see her in a more steamy scene. Very good but needs refining....Get rid of the attraction to holes and spinning water...corny
Alicia H gave it a10: Even though I'm about 6 months older than Carter Jenkins I still think hes HOT and SEXY!!!
Scott R gave it a9: There's essentially three different story lines working at all times on this show. (1) the government cover-up, (2) the sexy protagonist & pal trying to figure out what's going on, and (3) the teenager who adopts an infant creature. Although #3 is a stinker, #1 and #2 are very good. I highly recommend it!
Kastef gave it a4: The actors on this show have lost the will to act. The raft scenes had me slack jawed in amazment at the bad acting. Good story aside from the stupid owner love pet aspect. VFX slipping alongside the acting.
Fingerlakes Dave gave it an8: In the era of Survivor, multi CSIs, etc., etc..... this is one of the more original shows on at the moment. Any SciFi appears to borrow from other SciFi. Science is science. It's in how you spin it. As for Miles, I'm waiting for he and Nimrod to meet up with either the government agent or Laura. Odds are Nirmod recovered from the gunshot. And I want to see the eggs Mile's boss brought in start to hatch! ;-) A better than average show!
Janet P gave it a10: I love this program. It gets better and better each week. The best on tv!!
susan gave it a1: This show has become ridiculous. Too bad, I love good sci-fi.
Millie H gave it a9: What an interesting twist. I love this show.
Maria T gave it a10: The storyline is good and the special effects are fantastic for a TV series.
Rianna Y gave it a10: You know what, I LIKE Miles, and I think his part makes the story line even more interesting.
Pete R gave it a9: it is a great show.. I do like the x-files like story line..
Tracy F gave it an8: I think this is pretty good except for the whole Miles story line could have been eliminated, it seems the writers are too focused on Miles relationship with Nimrod. Are they trying to make a child star of Miles ? It also seems that they can't write more interesting dialog for Rich, he seems to say the same things over and over, " My brother is still alive.", " I talk to my brother." and keeps seeing visions of the hole.
Vincent P gave it a9: Sometimes I like a show that I can sit back and enjoy. This is one of them. I notice a lot of my friends and some people I don't know spend hours discussing the events of each episode. To me that is the sign of a successful series. I notice a lot of the reviewers don't like it much, that is another sign of a successful series. I only hope the Pate brothers keep the script tight and don't have too many contradictions like the X-Files did, for instance. Give us good and interesting clues, make sure there are logical answers to situations like the crew disappearing from the Topeka, etc. At least this show gives us something each episode not like Invasion.
Kirsten H gave it a10: Carter jenkins is SOOO hot!!!I am like totally in love with him
Robert M gave it a10: Lake Bell. Need I say more?
chance w gave it a2: This show just doesn't work for me. I find the characters unbelievable, and the story just seems to be going in silly directions.
sharon n gave it a10: I have not had a TV show captivate me in years the way Surface has managed to do. What a great cast, amazing story line and an awesome concept! I am awaiting next weeks episode with baited breath!
Florian H gave it an8: Once this E.T was closely encountered, it showed jaws. But nevertheless, this multiple Spielberg-ripoff works. And is easily more enjoyable than its competitor "Threshold", which is an insult to an audience who likes the science in science fiction.
Aleaha B gave it a10: I love the show. It can get boring but i love it. The actors are great and the carter jenkins is a great actor and cute. I LOVE HIM! I want to see more. Its the only thing on Monday nights anyway.
Russell B gave it a1: This show could be ok...but the characters range from boring to downright annoying and kill the overall experience.
Joe H gave it a9: Since the X-files series wrapped, there has been no good SciFi on the tube. SURFACE seems to be a cross between Jaws and E.T. and has several likeable characters. It can be slow evolving at times, but I rank it better than INVASION but less cerebral than THRESHOLD, having more of a fantasy feel than a thriller. I have gone out of my way to follow this show.
Lance U gave it a9: This show is pretty sweet. It get's a little cheesy at times and may be drwan out too long and therefore become anticlimactic. However, I can't stop watching it and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Jared Prophet gave it a10: I Love this show. With Lost, Alias, Invasion, Threshold, Night Stalker, Medium, Commander in Cheif... TV IS BACK!!!!!
G M gave it a9: This is an excellent show. The best of the new sci-fi offerings. Much better than all the reality garbage that litters TV today. Unlike Invasion, where we are yet to see what the darn creatures look like, this show reveals a bit more of the creatures each episode. While it does borrow from other scifi movies, the overall story is quite original.
McFly gave it a5: This show would be alright if it wasn't for the terrible kiddie parts with the hobbit kid and his skank ho sister. The rest is ok so it gets a 5.
jody m gave it a9: this is easily one of the best shows this season. who gives a flying ^%^&*()^& what the critics think. they obviously have no idea what good is.
Kevin M gave it a5: Science is all wrong (well, 75% of the time).... the kid plot smells of E.T... the story line mimics Close Encounters... the entertainment is in laughing at the story and the dialogue. Don't get me wrong, its entertaining, but in a train wreck type of way. I think it would be better if they drop Bell's son, and the entire "baby alien" in the hands of spoiled rich kids plot and concentrate on the rest of the show. Anyone who thinks this is anything close to a 6+ show doesn't need to be handling a remote control.
John M gave it a10: It took a few episodes, but I think this one has passed the other sci-fi-ish offerings on TV this year. As more of the stopry starts to emerge, this show is just getting better and better
Jackie L gave it a9: Great concept, both suspenseful and thought provoking. Characters need to be fleshed out and some gaps to be filled but hopefully the network will let this show grow. Critics missed another one but the fan base should grow and appreciate a good sci fi offering.
Chris gave it a9: I think this is one of the better showings of new premiers in a while. It has good dialogue, good character development, and has enough of a story 'spread' to cover a variety of ages. I think Carter Jenkins is doing a great job and should be commended. I have been looking forward to the way the seemingly random sightings and reports have been building to a place where some of the characters will eventually come together to take this to the next level. Overall I think this is a great show with a lot of merit. Cheesy? I don't think so. I think it delivers exactly what people look for in television... a chance to escape from the everyday mundane into a life of excitement. Surface is definitely much deeper than the critics have given it credit for.
brent M gave it a10: One of the most entertaining new shows in a long time, hopefully time will tell the critics wrong!!!
Sheridan H gave it a9: Ok so I'm a geek, but this show is fun and inspite what the critics say, worth watching. I've been a fan of Spielbergs for a long time and I look forward to tracking the crators of this show Josh and Jonas Pates careers. Hopefully this show will last a few seasons. Two words for the critics Bah Humbug!
Dave S gave it a9: I like it. It's the best thing that's happened to network TV in a long time. Up until now, I've had to limit myself to cable channels to watch anything decent, especially Sci-Fi (Stargate, Battlestar, etc) so it's nice to see some quality TV from the networks.
J A gave it a9: this show is great. I look forward to it and why not - it is a lot of fun!
Charles F gave it an8: You know, it's funny how this show was so thoroughly slammed by the critics. And yet, all the signs seem to indicate that it will outlive all of the season's other one-word-title-sci-fi dramas. While Threshold and Invasion are already stagnating, this show is a consistent pleasure. Sure, it was created by folks who got their cinematic education exclusively from the likes of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, JAWS and THE ABYSS. But they've learned well, and they've managed to bring a sense of big-screen adventure to the 1-hour TV serial format. The pacing is brisk. The tone is just right, not self-important and not smirky. The dialogue is snappy. The set pieces are unusually imaginative for TV. Add in some very appealing characters (Ferguson's take on Richard Dreyfuss' everyman especially), and you've got a very endearing show. What if the science is bunk? There's always Nova for that, and good as that show is, it doesn't exactly set the pulse racing the way Surface consistently does. Check it out yo'.
Bill D gave it a9: If you like sci-fi with lots of suspense and mystery this is a great show with lots of potential
[Anonymous] gave it a1: Trite, Boring, steeped with poor dialogue. I'm glad I have a TV, because I can watch a whole episode in about 15 miutes. Most of it sucks, so I can skip it.
[Anonymous] gave it an8: The publications, if researched, show the positive reviews came from corps that are not ran by creationist and those with poor reviews are...guess if they can't gain favor in the populace with truth and equality for all, they will resort to propaganda and lies...even in reviewing a FICTIONAL SHOW.
[Anonymous] gave it a9: I enjoy this series so far
John J gave it a9: The critics are wrong. Though not a high mark in TV drama it is the best new show of the season. Now that might not be saying much but I find in one of the better over all well done TV shows in some time. Filming, character development, plot lines. Now you have to buy into giant sea monsters but thats what Sci Fi is about.
marcus gave it a10: this show is extremely awsome.this is a great show.finally some thing to look foward to on mondays
jim h gave it a10: It's better then Jaws so far, wish they would put it on DVD after awhile, out it with my other shark dvds movies I have
marshall m gave it a3: it's so cheesy that it's not even funny, dont watch it, go see " war of the worlds" in theatres, or watch "invasion", both alot better then this stuff.
