Creata da Andrew Cosby (Haunted) e Jamie Paglia, la prima stagione sarà composta da 11 episodi, oltre al pilot della durata, classica, di 2 ore.
L'agente governativo Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson), a causa di un guasto alla sua vettura, capita ad Eureka, cittadina americana del Nordovest, dove presto si rende conto del fatto che non tutto sia come appare. In seguito ad un'indagine cui prende parte, scopre che la cittadina è in realtà una sorta di paradiso in cui sono state radunate le più brillanti menti scientifiche allo scopo di condurre ricerche governative top-secret. Apparentemente la vita scorre tranquilla, in realtà sotto la superficie della banale quotidianità si nascondono misteri, cospirazioni, segreti solo sussurrati.
Gelosie professionali, amori non corrisposti, depressioni si trasformano da problemi di ogni giorno a grossi grattacapi, considerando le capacità intellettive dei personaggi che li vivono.
Eureka è l'ultimo arrivato nell'ambito delle produzioni di Sci Fi Channel che, ricordiamo, ha tra i suoi telefilm di punta Battlestar Galactica e Stargate SG-1 (visibili in Italia su Fox), nonchè Stargate Atlantis. Ciò dovrebbe presentare una garanzia di qualità e di durata, in un periodo in cui la maggior parte delle nuove serie fantascientifiche è stata prematuramente cancellata.
TRAMA:
As World War II came to a close with mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the impact that science and technology would have on the continued security of our world became catastrophically apparent. America nearly lost the race to build the atomic bomb; it could not risk such a close call again.
With the help of Albert Einstein and other trusted advisors, President Harry S. Truman commissioned a top-secret residential development in a remote area of the Pacific Northwest, one that would serve to protect and nurture America's most valuable intellectual resources. There our nation's greatest thinkers, the über-geniuses working on the next era of scientific achievement, would be able to live and work in a supportive environment. The best architects and planners were commissioned to design a welcoming place for these superlative geniuses to reside, an area that would offer the best education for their children, the best healthcare, the best amenities and quality of life. A community was created to rival the most idyllic of America's small towns — with one major difference: this town would never appear on any maps. At least, none that haven't been classified "eyes only" by the Pentagon.
Thus, the town of Eureka was born. But for all its familiar, small-town trappings, things in this secret hamlet are anything but ordinary. The stereotype of the absent-minded professor exists for a reason, and most of the quantum leaps in science and technology during the past 50 years were produced by Eureka's elite researchers. Unfortunately, scientific exploration is rarely what one expects, and years of experiments gone awry have yielded some peculiar by-products.
From unrequited love to professional jealousy, from addiction to depression, the problems of Eureka's townsfolk stem from life's myriad of everyday challenges. But with the population's unique talents, troubled psyches and limitless resources, these small-town concerns have a way of becoming big-time problems. It is at that intersection, where human frailty and super-science collide, that Eureka begins…
