Beautifully drawn characters aid immersion. Go to Full Review Dylan Roth Observer 01/14/2022
The story plods along at such a deliberate pace that the audience has far too much time to consider the evidence and draw conclusions, sometimes hours before the characters have caught up. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 01/06/2022
The pacing is wonky, but the digital effects are immersive -- the implausible soon becomes intriguing. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim 07/27/2023

"The Silent Sea" is based on director Choi Hang-Yong's short film of the same name. Starring Bae Doona and Gong Yoo, the eight-part series is set on the moon, where the astronauts have been tasked with recovering research from the previous mission.

The Silent Sea is an exploration of corporation & government’s control and abuse of power to gain control of resources. Bringing into question, will powerful people continue to preserve themselves from disaster? Go to Full Review Bethan Ackerley New Scientist 07/19/2023
A few of The Silent Sea‘s twists are over-telegraphed and under-explored... But these are minor cavils compared with the show’s assets, from its bleak, uncanny tone to its highly talented cast Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more AL V @RT65347619 Jul 7 If you like Sci Fi, this is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. See more The Dry T @RT03991991 Jun 7 Bae Doona was the only reason I tuned in. She's awesome! Otherwise, there is little that makes any sense. "Viral Luna Water," wtf?Unfortunately, I'm very likely to watch this Korean boondogle of a train-wreck to the very end. Oh yeah, stinted dialog. Plenty of stinted dialog. I mean, is all this a failure of translation?? See more Chris B @Cwisbee 01/25/2025 I must be missing something here. This series is incredibly boring and slow. The physics and biology of it all make no sense either. Redeeming qualities are subtle acting and good visuals. See more Jane I @RT29746198 07/15/2024 Well written, thought provoking sci-fi. Great dubbing to English language so was able to use the sound without being out off by poor pronounciation. Hopefully, there'll be a S2, but if not, the ending is still very satisfying .
