Last Resort is a little slow to start but given time it just gets better and better the more of it you watch, its a shame that is only went for one season, it should have been given more but i am not surprised as most decide if a series by the end of the first episode.the entire concept of the show caught my attention, the idea was great and executed, but the story was told to quickly, it needed more time to go through everything correctly so it would make more sense. They used good actors to play the main characters which worked out good. really if you haven't watched it then your missing out on an amazing show.Worth watching, just give it a go you will enjoy it.

In a strange way I want to watch more of this show but it is so weird. The acting in parts is terrible and some of the script feels like it was written by school kids. "I hope you die alone" was one line that really made me cringe; I mean who says that? Another (whilst holding up three fingers) "Read between the lines". It's so cheesy, but quite exciting in parts if you can scrape the lashings of cheese off your face. I still can't work out if its pro or anti-American; there's far too much pro- American bull in some scenes but you kind of expect it with this sort of production. The character played by Autumn Reeser (that really is her name) is probably the most annoying obnoxious female character I have ever seen on screen; thankfully she's not in it much but the scenes where she rants on about misses whilst trying to look sexy frankly made me nauseous. Overall 5/5 nice try but no cigar...

I was curious to see what all the hype surrounding Last Resort was all about, so when it popped up for free viewing on Netflix I gave it a shot. When it was all said and done, I found some of the shows (or parts of shows) to be interesting, and others to be totally off the wall. The same with the acting. Andre Braugher was the best, IMO (except when he grimaced and bared his teeth; that's an image I'd like to get out of my head forever), and it was a real mixed bag after that. Daisy Betts was okay -- slightly reminiscent of Jennifer Garner in Alias (which is not a good thing in my book), but better. I'm not a big fan of Dichen Lachman, either in Dollhouse or Last Resort. And Scott Speedman's performance/role went increasingly downhill as the series raced to the finish line. (The rest of the cast is more or less forgettable.) All in all, I found the series somewhat entertaining, but I understand why it got canned -- it's just not that good.

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.
