Product 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 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've seen a lot worse so this was ok but I kept losing interest. James Nesbit is a brilliant actor but I felt that he was wasted in this, although he was probably it's saving grace. I can't even remember what it was all about but it was better than watching the dire rubbish that was on the TV at the time

if you like a thiller with a bit of a sci fi environment to it then you'll probably like this. Each episode builds a little more on the characters to keep the story intesting. The story is clever and well thought out, the writers obviously knew the ending when they began to writing unlike some series that go on and on and on without any real ending.

I think this features a deep diving submarine fitted with a moonpool. Read more

Good thriller.
This is a good show, that might require more than one viewing, it could have done with being a bit longer, but it is a good yarn and I recomend it.

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 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

I think this series is brilliant, different from what the BBC normally produces. A lot of people have criticised it, but I would say, lighten up! Read more

Dull
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.
