Critic Reviews

Robert Lloyd

"Surface" is steeped in Spielberg, and is better Spielberg than Spielberg has managed in quite some time. Read full review

Cynthia Fuchs

It helps that Bell is able to suggest complexity, emotional and moral, even when the dialogue fails her. Read full review

Dalton Ross

This by-the-numbers entry is pretty damn toothless. [23 Sep 2005, p.81]

Robert Bianco

There isn't a moment of wonder or suspense in Surface, or a single performance or character that is even remotely involving. Read full review

Barry Garron

There's nothing particularly appealing about any of the folks having the close encounters. Read full review

Rob Owen

At first glance... it comes off as silly sci-fi, a not-so-intriguing series that wades into all-too-similar waters as two other fall shows. The difference in this one is that the water is noticeably more shallow. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

One of the lead characters is an evolutionary biologist, which makes sense, since there's not a lot of intelligent design here. Read full review

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.

I really wanted to see where this went... but canceled. A good gem for the intrepid to unearth when they tire of the current crop of trash.

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.

This was one of only two or three shows we watched regularly. We were looking forward to season two!

Started off weakly, but the the last several shows picked up the plot development pace. Looking forward to Season 2.

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.
