I had never heard of Surface until I spotted it in the Video rental store the other day. I was told that the series had been cancelled and I began to suspect the reason why as I watched with horror as scene after scene rolled out almost EXACTLY as they appear in Close Encounters, X Files etc. Tiny, tiny changes were made but still the scenes are almost word for word AND the entire storyline has been lifted from John Wyndham's 'The Kraken Wakes'. There is nothing original about this series except for its ability to circumvent the copyright laws! I'm glad this series was cancelled and I hope there won't be a film.
If you want a brilliant science fiction series watch Firefly - sadly too short lived.
