Imagine you’ve been on US Navy Ship in a remote location with no communication whatsoever for several months; and then when you finally do talk to someone, you find out that 80% of the world has died or is dying from a pandemic. To make matters worse for you, is the person (Rhona Mitra) who is working on the cure is on your ship. What would you do? That is the basis for the very thrilling
The Last Ship that debuts on TNT tonight at 9p.
Commander Tom Chandler (Eric Dane) is manning the ship and he has to keep his men and women calm as they learn that their families might be dead. Besides dealing with that, they are being attacked by other nations who want the cure. There is no leadership in the world anymore because many of the leaders have died from the fast spreading virus. So they have no way of seeking help from anyone or any country because they don’t know who to trust. They don’t know if there are any safe places to dock at because there are very few people to talk to and those numbers are diminishing by the moment. Then since they have been trapped on the ship for several months, their supplies are running low, so how will they get what they need to survive themselves.
How will they survive? Will they survive? We will just have to tune in every week to find out.
I am obsessed with movies and TV shows about viruses, and I can tell you that The Last Ship gets it right. I don’t like Michael Bay, who is the Executive Producer of this drama, and after 3 episodes, I can tell you I love this show and I know you will too. The drama is very contagious.
