The Last Ship is based on a novel by William Brinkley following a fatal virus which decimates a huge part of the worlds population, now a team of lone naval ship must find a way to safe the world.
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.
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.
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.
