   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the best new pilot of the season in my opinion. It had me hooked in the first fifteen minutes. The acting is great and the premise is certainly intriguing. Definitely looking forward to how well it maintains the suspense and the conflict with the inhabitants of their landing spot.… Expand

   By far this is one of the best shows to come out in years. An interesting plot, well written characters, and just enough action to keep people interested without being "overkill". My only real complaint about the show is that the premiere was only 1 hour, when it should have been a 2 or even 3 hour event. Hopefully we'll get a little more back story through flashbacks etc. in the coming episodes. 10/10!… Expand

   Don't be fooled by good shows that have a couple weak episodes in the first season. Of the seven episodes released now, the second and third seem to be least popular. I though the first, second, fifth, sixth, and seventh episodes were strong.
   
   They have a limited amount of things they can do with the premise of a sub on an island. They look at how to keep the US from just blowing their sub up. They tackle in an episode the threat of mutiny. Then they have sailors who are getting bribes sent to them, offering them riches or their family's safety. They also have to contend with the possibility of a sleeper agent on the crew.
   
   The married couples are tempted on the island, and the unmarried ones hook up quickly. It's been said the show is a little too 90210. I don't see that. These are people being hunted for treason, may never see their family again so it makes sense they are forming their own confused highly armed community on this remote island.
   
   To complicate matters is a drug cartel that controls the island. Unwilling to just shoot a cruise missile into the cartel stronghold and spark guerrilla warfare while trying to keep the US at bay, each episode continues back and forth. The CO and the Mayor meet once an episode, sometimes it is the CO kicking his door down with two dozen armed marines. Sometimes it is the Mayor throwing a sailor with a bomb strapped to their chest out of a truck.
   
   Lastly I'll say the morality issues are being handled at home, with the woman who designed the high tech stealth system of the sub and the XO's wife are working together to expose the government cover up of the smelly situation from the first episodes launch orders.… Expand

   From high hopes to up in flames. What a disjointed mess of a show. The writers seem torn betwee a show based on reality and a cheesy soap opera. Plots are complex and don't flow, the acting goes from average to bad. It had potential. underscore had..… Expand
