It’s been a “24”-like thrill ride so far, with baddies coming at the ship right and left to get their hands on the doc and the in-the-works cure.
If this “Battleship” meets “Contagion,” tension plus ick factor, hazmat-suits-for-all! kind of tale is your bag of summer escapism, then by all means climb aboard The Last Ship. It may be all formula and archetypes, but that’s Bay’s bread and butter, and the first two hours pack enough oomph to make you want to see what happens when the Ship finally pulls into port.

The Last Ship is a gripping drama of high calibre. I have consumed many apocalyptic TV series, but this one stands apart with epic casting and production values. It is ironic we just got through a truly global pandemic, and this show spun up right before that. Eric Dane plays a brilliant captain, charged with guiding this last floating beacon of hope in a world awash with threats, domestic and foreign. Rhona Mitra plays the excellent counterpart, a scientist charged with developing the cures for a world plagued to the brink. Like every apocalyptic series, the end times bring out humanity's worst. We see this brazenly in both seasons 1 and 2 when the strongest who survive prey on the weakest through false narratives, whitewashing evil with pretentious virtue. It is precisely in such dark times that the weak rely on the strength, courage and morality of the crew of Nathan James, to defend the helpless. Season 2 brilliantly showcases how foreign and domestic enemies can undermine the noblest of efforts. I loved how season 3 expanded the chess board to the rest of the world. Old geopolitical games never get old, even in a newly decimated world. Certainly, old demons will take advantage **** pandemic to advance genocidal ambitions in order to remake the world in their bloody image. None of the horrors of this season seem implausible. But it's always the domestic internal enemy that hollows out and eventually collapses an empire from within. The terrible scars of each personal loss are felt, overpowering in the end, as so many sacrifices are made. Season 4 took the show in a new twist, bringing new meaning to the word double whammy, and highlighting the sanity in the logic of an evil genius, once again hell-bent on dominating the world and being remembered for posterity. The crew continued to show unity and perseverance, with some interesting new members being added. The naval battles did not disappoint in the least, showing brains not brawn always wins the field. The final season opens on such a beautiful note, the calm before the final storm, the elder warrior musing about his remaining missions in life, what did it all mean? Could we have done better? It makes perfect sense that the final conflict will be far closer to home, with a demonstration of the vulnerability of digital platforms. I loved the return to old-school naval warfare and tactics, minus the benefit of electronics and software. It is poignant and touching to see the seasoned warriors remembering lost ones, and having a semblance of closure at the end of this last bloody chapter, as they seem to put down one last demon of the old world in the face of a new dawn. It's certainly sad and expected that our valiant crew pays a terrible price in life, limb and soul as they near the end of their 5 years of battle. The philosophical musings and parallels to ‘Moby ****’ and ‘Old Man and the Sea’ are quite apt and a welcome change. The military operations of the last season were just spectacular. The last 15 mins of the series were a haunting stroll down memory lane, what a feast. One of the most enjoyable series.

The cast is solid--including Adam Baldwin 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.
Since the series was filmed partly aboard U.S. Navy vessels, aircraft and with other working equipment, when the big guns go off it looks and sounds satisfyingly earthshaking. Inevitably, some things are formulaic.
The Last Ship is a naval recruitment ad for the apocalypse, and these waters look shallow. Careful before sticking your toe in.
Despite some initial problems with pace and a bland idea of suspense, The Last Ship is at least a break from all the detective and lawyer shows that characterize cable TV’s long summers.
It looks great but the plotting of the premiere, in which the world falls victim to a horrendous virus and a battleship that has avoided infection could be the only way to find a cure, is stale and manipulative. Square-jawed Dane has the charisma to carry the concept but it’s handled with all the subtlety of a lead balloon.
Good show with good actors. It predicted the pandemic and is Illuminati predictive programming. It's deep state propaganda spinning the new world order as a made up thing by the bad guys. But its real and on going. This show even predicted a corrupt politician giving people fake vaccines in sport stadiums.
