What to Know

Critics Consensus

seaQuest DSV boasts a stunning visual design and a wealth of impressive special effects, but never quite delivers on its rich sci-fi premise.

Jonathan Taylor Variety 04/09/2020
This derivative but technologically advanced series has a sufficiently interesting premise and enough high-tech toys to perhaps survive the hostile waters of Sunday night programming. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 04/09/2020
"seaQuest" often seems so in love with its own flashy repertoire of high-tech gizmos that it fails to sufficiently emphasize the human element so essential for good storytelling. Go to Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times 04/09/2020
Ham performances seem to be encouraged, perhaps as a means of keeping viewers puzzled in lieu of being enthralled. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 10/18/2023
2/5
The costumes and melodramatic acting, replete with eye-twitching staring contests, come across as laughable by contemporary standards. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 07/23/2022
2.5/4
The unique setting is the show’s greatest asset, as the storylines are fairly conventional. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand People Magazine 04/09/2020

Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 21 25 successful National Broadcasting Company (NBC) episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated TV-PG for Moderate Violence (V)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide studios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Chris M @RT21954632 03/09/2023 I was always a fan of the show. They described it as "Star Trek" of the ocean. But it has lots of action, likable characters and cool episodes. The CGI is pretty much 90s quality. Way better than other CGI at the time. But not perfect. Unlike the animatronics for Darwin the dolphin. I thought for years that was a live dolphin on the show. Hell, that animatronic dolphin is more realistic than all the CGI animals today. See more sean G @Sean123456789 12/02/2022 Great old show from the 90's, I would say it's like a star trek under the sea ? Each episode has a new place to visit and new story's to enjoy , the Dolphin is cool and a very strong grout of actors here. 10/10 I like the info bit at end too. See more ken c @Coolrunning2009 07/15/2022 For its time, it was the Star Trek of the underwater world. It took the world to living under the seas and humanity had become more compassionate. Unfortunately the dark side is there too See more 11/30/2020 A great voyage. Season Two was trash, but the rest of it was really good...too bad this subaquatic dream didn't come true. See more 07/28/2020 My favorite series of all time! Great acting, unique settings, cool ships and seriously underappreciated cinematography. See more Read all reviews
