DVD Description
With an all-star cast, including James Nesbitt, Minnie Driver and Goran Visnjic, this gripping thriller follows the crew of an oceanographic submarine as they search the deepest, furthest, loneliest place on earth.
In the state-of-the-art research submarine Orpheus, Captain Frances Kelly leads a team of scientists deep below the Arctic ice. They are following the path of an earlier, disastrous expedition; searching the final frontiers of Earth for unknown and remarkable life forms, attempting to find the solution to the world’s escalating energy crisis.
Enduring crushing pressure, boiling vent gases, freezing temperatures and total darkness, the Orpheus arrives at the Lomonosov Ridge, an enormous area of sea bed which is disputed territory, currently under the United Nations’ jurisdiction. Nobody comes here. But there is something else out here: something huge and bewildering. And, as the Orpheus crew struggle for survival and attempt to unravel the mystery, they uncover secrets more terrifying than they ever could have imagined…

I watched this programme when it was first aired on the BBC. I thought it was absolutly fantastic. It was exciting and gripping with many thrills and surprises. This is a must buy.

I think far too many people are focusing on picking mistakes in the technical side of things in this show, in so many of the reviews all I hear is such criticism.
Maybe people should just relax, enjoy and remember that this is fiction. And with fiction, a writer can do as they wish.
Indeed, there are a few holes in the plot, which only really can be picked up if the whole thing is incredibly over-thought. But at the end of each episode I was on the edge of my seat to watch more, and that's how I know I'm entertained by TV shows.
Interesting setting and story, I'd reccommend this to a friend. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this, regardless of everyone else.

I think that this may well be the most dire BBC production I have ever seen. So much promise, and a decent premise, but an awful script has ruined it.
Dull. Should have been done over 2 hours or so. Five hours was far, far too long.

I enjoyed it, intelligent drama.
I can't understand the number of 1 star reviews this series has on Amazon. It is nowhere near as bad as Bonekickers, for example. Read more

Simply the worst TV drama of the year
The idea is good - and that is about the only positive comment that can be made about this.
I recorded the series so had the dubious pleasure of watching it all at once. Read more
