Where's the safest place to be during a pandemic? One might think it's in Roy Scheider's bigger boat with the talking dolphin. However you can't forget about the underwater sea facility making mutant plants that are oddly reminiscent of an infamous speech in the Val-Air Ballroom in West Des Moines, Iowa. If you like girthy, swinging, unkempt foliage, wonder why Dom is disappointed in himself and are curious about an underwater Wesley Crusher, then this is the series for you. According to popular opinion on the internet:The best episode of this series is season 1 episode 8: Give Me Liberté While the worst is season 2 episode 8: By Any Other Name
