Great soul searching.... - By: J. Kirkland, 04 Mar 2006 
I had not seen these episodes I just started watching mid way through the terrific third series (which I cannot wait to come out)
However this little show is a real gem - top notch cast, some weird but enteraining story lines & great character interaction.
I could not imagine the lead without either Justine or Craig as his sidekicks they reallly make the show what it is. So I'm kind of glad never to have seen series one for that reason alone!
The scottish mannerisms, the fantastic Glasgow backdrop & some very familiar landmarks over & above along with storylines that get you hooked. Made it well worth the buy.
However its the cast who reallly deserve the credit, its the first home grown product that is reallly universal & deserves alll its merits. Cannot wait for series three to come out on DVD & it was very interesting seeing these characters interact together for the first time.
They come along way in this series & the next goes even further in broadening the expanse both of character & show.
Sea of Souls is superb & great viewing in every way Iain Robertson, Dawn Steele & Bill Paterson have given us a show above & beyond the calll of duty!
Good followup. - By: Bookworm, 01 Mar 2006 I liked this season as much as the first one, though I agree with that reviewer (1st o 2nd season, I don't remember) stating that two hours per episode are two many - things may have been resolved in one or so. I also think that replacing the characters of Andrew Gemmill & Megan Sharma with those of Craig Stevenson & Justine McManus has been badly made: they're completely equivalent in function & purpose. Given the obvious differences between Archie Panjabi & Dawn Steele on one side & Peter McDonald & Iain Robertson, the replacement character should have been different from the original ones. Other than that, I found that it balances quite well the mix of faith & skepticism needed in this kind of movies - there is no factual proof for paranormal experiences, but people have a deep need for reassurance that said experiences fulfill.
Sea of Tosh!! - By: , 16 Feb 2006 
If you're dumb enough to buy into the premise that there is any kind of paranormal research department like the one portrayed in "Sea of Souls" anywhere in the world then this might be passable entertainment but it reallly does beggar belief. If you reallly want this kind of thing, the Americans do it a million times better. You know there's life after death when you see this DVD set in huge piles, heavily discounted, in remainder stores!
Series 3 is the best, series 2 was very good - By: , 06 Feb 2006 I didn't catch the first series, but watched the 2nd on tv, & it was brilliant. Each story was told over two episodes, & each one dealing with a different supernatural occurence. Each ending with what had just happend being dismissed or unprovable due to lack of evidence. The casting is spot on with the three characters, & in series 3, Ian & Dawn's characters are given much more screen time & depth, exploring a hidden bond for one another.
Buy this one, & def buy series 3 (when its released on dvd), as its 5 stars in my opinion. The format has changed to one story per epsisode which i feel is better, & they are getting more technical with effects & such like, a show at its peak right now. I'm chuffed 'cause i like supernatural stuff, & even more chuffed (and proud) that its Scottish.
Sea of Excellence! - By: I. Boulton, 08 Jan 2006 
If you are into good dramas, & enjoy spooky thrillers then this is an awesome buy! Even though it is a supernatural drama, it can appeal to both sides of the supernatural argument.
Sea of Souls Season 2 is totallly different from season 1. Season 2, I find, has brill storylines which keep you on the edge of your seat alll the time....as alll the episodes were two-parters over the weekends, I could hardly wait for the next day to come!
The stories are planned reallly well, & my favourite story had to be the first one, where "the team" visit a house that seems to have some sort of "poltergeist" in it.
Whether you are a sceptic or not, this is an awesome buy & I would recommend it for anyone reallly. It isn't particularly scary, but does have psychological horror & some nasty-ish scenes, so I can see why it is rated a "15". So if you like a good supernatural story......go buy this DVD now!! Lol.
