2005年秋季於NBC週一晚間首播的海洋科幻影集Surface(原名Fathom)，
經常與同時推出的Invasion(abc)、Threshold(CBS)相提並論，
三者同樣以疑似外星生物入侵地球為故事背景，
是無線電視網少有的科幻題材，
然而隨著情節的發展，相對於Invasion的緩慢節奏以及Threshold的舉棋不定，
Surface持續帶來的驚喜以及大量的壯觀特效，
讓觀眾有著─是科幻影集就該這樣─的滿足感。
故事起源於一連串的不明海洋生物目擊，這新品種神秘生物的出現讓海洋生物博士Laura Daughtery(Lake Bell所飾)、保險專員 Richard Connelly (Jay R. Ferguson所飾)以及初中小男生Miles (Carter Jenkins所飾)三個人的命運緊緊聯繫在一起。Laura因為紀錄到該神秘海洋生物的行蹤而被政府高階警告繼而被迫逃亡； Richard 在弟弟潛水意外後，對在海裡所目睹到的奇特現象無法忘懷，進而拋妻棄子啟程追蹤真相；Miles在海邊夜遊時與同學撈起不明卵狀物體，進而撫養孵化後的狀似蜥蜴寶寶，並取名為Nimrod：暱稱Nimmy，然而Nimmy不若想像中無害：他喜歡吃活魚還有鹽巴，不小心惹毛了他，還會放出高壓電，擁有這樣奇特的寵物當然是紙包不住火，Nim意外燒毀了藏身的儲物房，又被捕獲成為實驗物，然而惹禍上身的Miles仍排除萬難，帶著心愛的小Nimmy逃走。
綜合了科幻動作懸疑以及溫情元素的Surface，讓觀眾先窺見神秘而龐大的海洋生物，進而藉由小男孩天真的眼光看到惹人憐愛的不明生物後代，最後發展出怪獸並非壞人的想法，頗有向酷斯拉、大白鯊以及威鯨闖天關等片致敬之意。
於週一晚間時段表現中等的Surface，日前播畢第一季共14集，尚未宣布是否續約第二季。
