I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

You watch the first episode and it's good. You wonder if they can keep it up. Maybe toward the end of the first episode you start to wonder a bit. The doubt starts to creep in. You think, "No, it wouldn't happen like that. This sequence of events is implausible."Despite your doubts you'll move on to Episode 2 and 3 - each episode bringing more and more events that lead you to slowly conclude that the screenwriters of this show have absolutely zero respect for the unfortunate souls watching this show.The acting was good, some better than others, but the script and possibly the entire premise of the show itself was like someone's unfinished first draft. It's like a bunch of screenwriters got together and had a contest entitled "What's the lamest way we could combine Lost with Hunt for Red October all while making fun of the viewer."Looking for something to watch, I'd skip it.

Just finished watching the first season. Overall the concept and plot were actually very good. The execution was OK given that the budget was probably limited. The acting was a let down in some episodes. Also for a plot that spanned an island in the middle of the ocean to Washington to Pakistan somehow managed to be very limited in breadth. Washington was limited to various rooms in buildings were discussions were held and somehow seemed narrow. St Helena was sufficient but we saw very little of the other forces at play except for bits here and there. It was mostly focused on the various challenges the crew of the USS Colorado faced on the Island while dealing with a hostile home government, with a side plot in Washington that grew as the season went on. If the show had the budget it deserved I believe it could have been exceptional. 6 out of 10 for making it on a a limited budget.

Have the writers of this series ever been on a Submarine? I had high hopes and was looking forward to the first episode but was hugely disappointed.O.k First beef, The opening scene is the Submarine retrieving a team of Navy Seals. The submarine in the story is a ballistic missile sub a Ohio class SSBN. The whole point of a SSBN is to go to deep water and hide so an enemy doesn't know where you are. To risk a strategic nuclear asset when other classes of Submarines are well suited for it is just ridiculous. Just add insult to injury they are attacked by another US Sub which must have been nearby and much more suited to retrieving a Seal Team.Second - US Warships are "Dry" so no alcohol. Even if it was allowed a Captain in charge of nuclear missiles would never give the exec a drink of scotch when at any minute the order may come to launch.What the hell is a "NATO" communication site doing in the middle of the Indian Ocean? And even if did exist left unguarded! Sending B1 Bombers to bomb a nuclear submarine? That's equally ridiculous. One they are totally unsuitable for sub hunting and a SSBN could easily avoid then by simply diving. No way for a B1 to track a submarine and they could just slip away. Even a dedicated anti submarine aircraft have trouble finding a SSBN if it doesn't want to be found.The characters themselves seem to have written to a formula of Gruff older navy types surrounded by "Beautiful" male and female young officers (You can see the writers already are going for the sexual tension between the young officers)One the opening scenes for one of the female characters was in her in her underwear that must have purely been put in to excite teenage boys.The series is utter tripe of the worst type and if you want to watch a series or movie about potential nuclear war or submarines go rent Crimson Tide or as bad as it was "The hunt for Red October".I understand this series was canceled as it bombed in the ratings. I just wished it had bombed earlier.

I am really enjoying the Last Resort - I am on the edge of my seat when watching every episode. It has really been keeping me guessing what is going on and all the double dealing is great!! It is so up to date by using the problems in the world around basing the series which adds to the realism of it and which could possibly happen. The added bonus of course is Scott Speedman who looks very handsome in his naval uniform!!! I am really disappointed that it is not coming back for another season and will be cancelled after 13 episodes. What is the matter with the makers of TV series in America? This is not the first series that I have enjoyed which then gets cancelled and I am positive it wont be the last either!!!
