US: Last Resort Season 1 (will contain spoilers)

SexyGreyFox · 20 Oct 2012 at 09:45

I'm missing the plot here and not following the basics.
As far as I understand they received some rogue orders to nuke Pakistan but didn't follow the orders.
They have now become criminals and hunted by their own country or are the naughty men the ones are are hunting them?
If it is the naughty men then why haven't they talked to their own country about what's happening?
Like I say, I've missed something.

Yea it's an odd show - they received the order through the back-up network which was what prompted the query before firing - at which point that other US sub was told to fire at them (by who I'm not sure we know) and tried to take them out.

They only have so many missiles/torpedo's though so the "bad" people have to be careful as they have nukes and they've proven they will fire at urban centres (albeit missing on purpose!) ...

It's a little early on to get any better idea than that to be honest - they are now holding out on that island trying to figure out who in the administration has it in for them??

So it isn't the whole of the American military after them?

JBod · 20 Oct 2012 at 13:33

My take is that there is a rift in the US administration or possibly a military coup taking place. In the pilot episode in the background of some scenes were news items playing that gave hints.

Thanks.
I really should pay more attention.

2 episodes in and its a bit ****. I shall not bother anymore.

Judging by first three episodes, don't invest your time, it's unlikely to survive more than 7 episodes. It's quite clear the makers have no idea what to do with the plot, the long term conspiracy arc is very weak, and the short term a-team/mafia arcs are just not interesting to watch.

I watched the first episode of this last night and loved it, hopefully it can keep up the suspense in the following episodes.

George Hincapie · 25 Oct 2012 at 22:07

I watched the first episode a few weeks ago and haven't bothered since. Utter crap. Most unbelievable story and character interaction ever.

Avoid.

_Jimlad_ · 26 Oct 2012 at 13:34

poor story, really bad 80's style acting and predictable characters. I will eat my hat if this gets a 2nd season. watched 2 episodes and ditched it.

territt · 29 Oct 2012 at 14:04

Im liking it so far, :-)

_Jimlad_ · 29 Oct 2012 at 14:48

you're wasting your time, they will leave it on a cliff hanger and unresolved but we will never see a 2nd season

Castiel · 29 Oct 2012 at 14:51

I am enjoying so far, and I expect going by viewing figures and reviews in the US as well as the initial order of 13 being increased to 15 we will see a full series at the very least.

I enjoyed it.

Pilot was awesome.

SB118 · 5 Nov 2012 at 10:40

This going to be a one season job, can't see how the story can be dragged out longer than that. Hopefully they know this and will give us a finished story.

I ended up watching the first 5 episodes back to back

_Jimlad_ · 6 Nov 2012 at 11:58

surely when on the island they would just call the press or some world body and say "hey you know what, somethings is wrong here, we are the good guys"

v0n · 17 Nov 2012 at 00:07

And it's cancelled... Unless replacement show is ready, ABC will let all 13 ordered episodes run to the end.
