US: The Last Ship

Executive producer Michael bay.

Starts 23rd of June.

Looks like a high budget action packed series. Just hope the acting and story can live up to the explosions and the rest of it.

plot: The crew of a naval destroyer is forced to confront the reality of a new existence when a pandemic kills off most of the earth's population.

Unless the virus eats ships this is not the last ship

Ummm. I dunno. I'll give it a go but the fact it's high budget will mean cancellation quicker than something very quick if it's ratings are not high.

Agreed "Pandemic" or "The Vaccine" would prolly make a better title

Indeed, any idea of it'll be on Netflix or another service, like the, The 100 and a few other recent series.

It "feels" a bit like Last Resort but I'll probably watch the first episode just to see the lovely Rhona

I'll eat my hat if it's worse than Last Resort.

It sounds a whole lot more like On the beach

Raymond Lin · 22 May 2014 at 01:10

It looks okay but it seems the entire opening episode was shown in that trailer...

I have been waiting for this since Jan

First episode was ok i thought. I am not sure on that female lead and some of the scenes the acting was poor. I will definitely continue watching it as it has a lot of potential and an interesting story. A global pandemic, its everything that helix should have been.

I do like watching the ship in action though, great stuff with the close up of the guns.

Wash your mouth out.

Not bad so far. Be interesting to see where it goes from here

rids57 · 24 Jun 2014 at 04:38

Enjoyed the first one, I just hope they can keep the level up

Pretty decent and action packed first episode. Helps immensely that they have the US Military on board to allow filming aboard a real Guided Missile Destroyer, albeit one with a false name, and to supply the hardware, i.e. the Black Hawks and the CH53s.

Had to feel the love when they switched to the 5" gun to take down the last chopper. Not many shows actually acknowledge the the fact the main deck gun on a modern destroyer is capable of engaging, and destroying, air targets.

Oh yeah, it features Rhona Mitra. She is top tier totty!

Character 1: I'm saying a thing.
Character 2: Are you telling me that you're saying a thing?

*EXPLOSIONS!*

The Last Ship, in a nutshell.

I thought it was pretty **** without rhona mitra who would really care?
