This series looks like it has been written by a child with too little or too much imagination, it's hard to tell which.
Firstly it is completely unrealistic, both in the plot and on the technological level.
An artefact to make a submarine instantaneously disappear, communication with a diver from a submarine in deep water (that would require ELF with a *very* long antenna for the poor diver), people watching from the submarine at mid-depth, missiles cruising at insane speeds... are just plain ridiculous and really distract from the interesting part of the story.
Or lack thereof actually.
Because the plot resembles to an incoherent succession of badly digested theme-based episodes, each of which has a kind of moral related to the theme. And we see Spetsnaz attacking a small lost island, a submarine crew invading land, a US secretary of defense going all the way to this island to engage talks with the captain of a rogue submarine (whereas they apparently have video-conference available at some other time), people delivering message on TV to their family, gas attacks (with time-limited bizarre effects), ... and so on.
So in conclusion, the plot is shabby at best, on the edge of uninteresting, within a completely improbable and inconsistent universe. Better than 24? I would say, even worse.
1 point for the nice island vistas.
