Episode 1 is excellent but the slide towards FANTASY starts almost right away at episode 2. Overacting is the rule of the day and we move from situations that are unlikely to improbable....impossible....ridiculous and before 3 episodes have aired you might as well be aboard the Enterprise with Captain Kirk. This series is ONLY for the imagination-challenged...those who need to be spoon-fed their excitement in HUGE shovel-sized bites. I have ticked off spoilers but in reality it would be nearly impossible to 'spoil' this already severely damaged 'entertainment'. Truly I think this must be aimed at the teen and pre-teen market....those not yet aware of the realities of modern military codes and actions. If you think Halo and Call of Duty were realistic gaming then this is probably the perfect movie for you but for the rest of us...here in reality...pass this series up...you'll be glad you did.

This could have been a blockbuster, A navy commander of a nuclear sub caught up in the world between obeying orders and nuking 4.3 million people to further a covert objective for --oh we all know who gives such orders--and after deifying the US government to the point of ignoring a direct firing order--in the eight bells episode they kowtow to a little rat of a man on a local power trip to the point of sacrificing one of their own. Nobody bought that --stupid editor in whop chief -- you blew it--that could have been a cult classic now because of your incredibly stupid somehow politically correct writing/thinking---its just so much drivel

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.

I watched the first episode of this with open eyes. I generally keep my hope bottled up when it comes to these over-hyped American shows, and this show is a fine example of why. It is just a typical melodramatic poorly written attempt at a genre that they never seem to get right. The acting was mediocre, the characters were cut outs of generic characters played by actors who seemed to know how shallow the characters are. The ridiculous plot made me laugh out loud in some points, about halfway through it turned into such complete rubbish that I had to continue watching to see how much worse it could get. In summary, this programme is an insult to your intelligence and you should avoid it unless you want to know what not to do when making a TV series.
