The Deep

Came across this by accident. I am in my 60's and my grandchild is 2 - we BOTH love the series. Members of our family who are between those ages do as well. The messaging, the script, the ideas, the graphics, the originality are stellar! My only complaint is that there's only 2 seasons.

My 13 y/o son LOVED this TV series and couldn't wait to watch the next one. I really wish there were more seasons and more episodes of this TV series, b/c it was clean AND educational, which is so hard to find these days. My son loves anything that deals w/sea creatures, so this was the perfect show for him, and b/c it was shown on Netflix, he didn't see any commercials, and could go from one episode to the next. Please consider making more shows for this series. Would there be a way to be notified if more episodes come out? I highly recommend this series to parents!!!! Thank you for making quality shows like this so I don't have to worry about the content of what my son is watching!!! Lisa Moon

I loved this. There's not much underwater sci-fi out there and this is great - informative, exciting, and with some cool tech' (the sub' the Aronnax is almost Tethyan in its coolness). The characters are well rounded, not at all your typical competent martyr mum, hapless dad, and clever kids. Mum Keiko is an expert pilot, dad Will is a myth-hunting marine expert, their (younger) son Ant is a genius with a remarkable pet fish, and their (older) daughter Fontaine is sassy and sceptical. The kids in particular are both likable in their different ways and also annoying (when they bicker). The plots are always more than you think they will be, with just enough hard science in the mix to ensure that there are no easy ways out, and here and there just a sprinkling of the supernatural. The bad guys also deserve a mention, the pirate crew of the Dark Orca (another brilliant conception) with Hammerhead, Mad Madeleine (his daughter), Smiling Finn (his somewhat reluctant son) and Danny Boy. Excellent. Roll on series 2!

Well made. Enjoyable and worthwhile content for older children. Young ones will likely be scared at times so not appropriate viewing for them. Parents will probably end up watching this too(I did!).

Great story, good characters and not all total silliness that gets boring very quickly.

The story arch is compelling and it feels like a real adventure, educational and inspiring.

My daughter lives it. (and I like it too).
