I can't wait to see where the journey goes on Last Resort.September 27, 2012
The Last Resort pilot episode is far and away the best I watched for this fall season.September 27, 2012
Good pilot. Crazy premise. But maybe just crazy enough to be engaging in the early going. It's the long run that looks questionable.September 27, 2012
Execution was a let-down.September 17, 2013
It's worth rooting for Last Resort, despite its potentially fatal flaws. As their fiery protagonist would surely agree: When the odds are against you, it's better to make a giant splash than a quiet surrender.September 27, 2012
Last Resort is well-appointed with multiple back stories, duplicitous motives and other seemingly solid characters.October 14, 2013
It's cool and ambitious and everything we always say we want network TV to strive for.September 27, 2012
The imbalance between the macho military action and what seems likely to become a character-driven study in human relationships is unresolved.September 27, 2012
Last Resort is a thriller on the order of 24 as much as it is a puzzle, so I'm hoping the show will surmount audience mythology burnout. It deserves a fair chance to unfold.
