Surface is a science-fiction drama series that premiered on NBC in 2005 and ran for one season until 2006. The show follows the lives of three separate yet interconnected characters as they discover and deal with the strange phenomena that are occurring in the ocean. Lake Bell stars as Dr. Laura Daughtery, a marine biologist who discovers a new species of sea creature that she believes to be both intelligent and dangerous.

In the first episode, we are introduced to Daughtery as she is out on a diving expedition in the ocean. While exploring the depths, she encounters an enormous, luminescent creature that seems to possess a level of intelligence far beyond that of any known marine species. The encounter sparks Daughtery's curiosity, and she becomes obsessed with discovering more about this mysterious creature and its potential implications for scientific advancement.

Meanwhile, we also meet Miles Barnett, a teenage boy who finds a strange egg-like object while he is out fishing with his father. He takes the object home and, to his surprise, it hatches into a small, frog-like creature that quickly grows to be much larger and more dangerous. Miles becomes increasingly worried about the creature's safety and tries to keep it hidden from his family and the authorities.

The third main character, Richard Connelly, is a Louisiana fisherman who encounters a giant underwater creature while out on a routine fishing trip. The creature attacks and nearly kills him, leaving him with a newfound respect for the dangers that lurk beneath the ocean's surface.

As the series progresses, we see these three characters drawn together as they each try to navigate the strange and dangerous world that they have found themselves in. Daughtery works to study and protect the new species she has discovered, even as others seek to exploit it for profit or destroy it out of fear. Miles struggles to keep his own strange creature hidden while also trying to learn more about its origins and purpose. And Connelly finds himself drawn into a larger conspiracy involving both the new sea creatures and the government forces who are trying to control them.

Surface is a show that balances suspense and intrigue with character development and emotional depth. While it certainly involves plenty of action and intrigue as the characters race to discover the truth behind the new sea creatures, it also explores the complicated relationships and motivations of its protagonists. Daughtery must grapple with her own ambitions and sense of responsibility to the creatures she has discovered, while Miles must confront the consequences of his own curiosity and desire to understand the world around him. And Connelly finds himself struggling with both the physical and emotional scars that his encounter with the sea monster has left him with.

Overall, Surface is a show that explores the fascinating world of undersea creatures and the impact that they can have on our own lives and relationships. With strong performances from its cast, including Lake Bell as the complex and determined Dr. Laura Daughtery, the show offers a thrilling and thought-provoking look at the potential consequences of scientific discovery and exploration. While it may have only run for one season, Surface remains a standout example of the science-fiction genre, one that is sure to leave viewers both entertained and captivated by the mysteries it presents.

Surface is a series that ran for 2 seasons (21 episodes) between September 19, 2005 and on UMS
