Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
An enormously ambitious television series from executive producer Steven Spielberg and series creator Rockne S. O'Bannon (Farscape, Alien Nation), seaQuest DSV made a valiant attempt to present a thoughtful and socially conscious science-fiction series on par with Star Trek to a '90s audience (which had already latched onto Star Trek: The Next Generation), but struggled with mediocre scripts and special effects for most of its three seasons (1993-96). The first season, however, embodies much of the ambition and scope its producers envisioned, starting with the two-hour television movie to introduces retired officer Cmdr. Nathan Bridger (a grim-faced Roy Scheider) to the crew of the underwater vessel seaQuest DSV. The pilot feature is well helmed by Scheider, and offers an agreeable mix of fiction and fact (oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard served as technical advisor for the series), as well as considerable action and excitement for an expensive network series. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the cast (which included Stephanie Beacham as the ship's fetching doctor and the late Jonathan Brandis as a teen science whiz), the show's momentum faltered under the weight of corny embellishments such as its talking dolphin, Darwin (a genetically engineered human with gills would join the fray in the show's second season) and episodes like "Knight of Shadows," which offered a hoary possession storyline, or "Photon Bullet," which hinges on underwater computer hackers. The series would alternate between intriguing stories (like the suspenseful "Games") and ill-advised ones for much of its remaining seasons, which also saw cast changes (most notably, the departure of Scheider) in an attempt to revive audiences' flagging interest. All 23 episodes of the first season are included on this four-disc set, as well as a decent selection of deleted scenes from nine episodes, including the pilot. -- Paul Gaita

- I loved this show.
I can only remember watching this season of SeaQuest DSV. So far I like this season over the second.

And I haven't seen any episodes of season three. I can't wait for them to release season three.

Scheider and Brandis are the main draw here because I've always been a fan of their work. The Bridger/Lucas dynamic is very compelling in this season.

I'm trying to collect shows from my childhood and as far as I can tell the quality of shows past is vastly superior ... Read More

- Entertaining
We have always enjoyed Seaquest and I was delighted to see that it was on DVD. It is still as entertaining as it was when it first came out. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to be entertained.

- Big-Budget SciFi
There are three seasons of Seaquest DSV. If you had to choose only one of the three, THIS IS THE ONE! The character lineup is the best and the plotlines are the best. If you're a fan of big-budget SciFi, you don't want to miss this season. Captain Nathan Bridger (Roy Schieder ... remember him from JAWS?) is the consummate real human hero -- to young Lucas he's a father figure and to the rest of the crew he's the gifted leader blessed with tremendous insight, wisdom, life lessons, not to mention well-placed ...

- seaQuest DSV- great!
I received the first season of seaQuest DSV on dvd for my birthday- I really loved it! Almost all of the episodes include deleted scences from the aired versions. Plus each DVD has 3 hours on EACH side, cutting in half the number of DVDs needed- so it takes up less space, and its less waste. :0)

- Good Show for the 90's but no true fellings for it
I received this as a gift awhile back as I have a fondness for some of the 90's shows way back when like Earth2,Space Above and Beyond,Hercules The Legendary Journeys,and Xena. The series was for the most part decent for the first season and some of the second season but the third season was the most forgetful and hopefully forgotten. The series tried to bring in for the audience issues like the environment,third world tragedies,and about the insanity of wars. The first season I also feel had the best ... Read More
