This is pretty rubbish. They've taken the movie "The Abyss" and tried their best to make a feature long episode as a pilot for a series. Having checked, there actually are more episodes of this "series" but only this has ever been shown on UK TV.
An island mysteriously explodes and a "black tide" (whatever one of those is) is sweeping across the ocean killing everything in it's path and threatening to kill all life in the ocean. There is no real plot, just tiny ideas trying to link huge bits of nothing happening to other bits of nothing happening. It eventually turns out to be related to parallel universes and everything is resolved apart from one guy who we are never sure if he died or not. Very weird and I wouldn't want to see any more episodes of the show. It's only redeeming features are the underwater photography (done in High Definition format) and the technical advice as offered by Dr Bob Ballard.
