Sealab 2021 is a television series set in the year 2021. The show is set deep below the ocean's surface, in a vast, high-tech compound called Sealab. This scientific station is a multi-national facility with an annual budget, manned by a diverse group of individuals. The crew's primary focus is not on conducting research, but rather on their personal interactions and leisure activities. The series portrays the crew's dynamic, with their leader, Captain Murphy, being manipulated by the rest of the team. The crew's behavior is driven by their desire to receive government paychecks, which they perceive as a lucrative benefit.
