This episode's first act is incredible. I wish that the rest of the episode had maintained the brilliant plot of being stranded at the bottom of the ocean and so forth, but unfortunatley it soon devolved into some tosh about mermaids. Still, the plot isn't half bad and the idea of the Lost City of Atlanta is novel.
There are plenty of good gags to be found and Parker Posey does a fairly good job as Umbriel, the mermaid that Fry falls in love with.
Unfortunately, Atlanta's quite a bland place and that rubs off on the overall feel of the episode, despite it being underwater. Not bad, but not great either.
