The Last Ship - Season 1
The Last Ship is based on a novel of the same name by William Brinkley. After a global viral pandemic wipes out over 80% of the world';s population, the crew of a lone unaffected U.S. Navy Captain Tom Chandler and his crew must find a cure after a pandemic wipes out billions of people worldwide. Scientist Rachel Scott is assigned to the U.S.S. Nathan James to investigate the cause of the rapidly spreading virus. Chandler and his crew head to the U.S. Military base at Guantanamo Bay in hopes of collecting food, medical supplies and fuel replenishments. Three teams are dispatched to carry out these varied tasks.

The plotting is often suspenseful, but the characters are one-dimensional, and the dialogue is a mix of cheesy one-liners and cliched grandstanding.

The cast is solid - including Adam Baldwin ("Chuck") as Chandler's No. 2 - and if we must contemplate annihilation-by-virus, there are certainly less-pretty places to view it than from the deck of The Last Ship.

Tense post-apocalyptic thriller is violent and scary.
June 18, 2014
Passable summer thriller with some decent (for TV) action sequences.

The Last Ship is entertaining enough to overlook things that don't quite make sense. Which don't really matter. You have to just sit back and have fun with it, as serious as the situation is.

The Sunday night scene just keeps getting worse on TNT. No, I don't mean the programming. The shows were already good and just got better with the addition of The Last Ship.

The Last Ship isn't the kind of series that people will brag about liking, but it could go viral.

The Last Ship is a show that I kept wanting to enjoy more than I was (being a big sci-fi nut and looking for a new summer diversion) but I could never get on its wavelength.
June 19, 2014
The Last Ship sets sail on a strong premise. The question is whether it will be able to stay on course.

You just sit back, swallow this thing whole and wait for sturdy, studly, stolid Captain Chandler to fire off another round of uniformed rhetoric.
