Last Resort is a TV show about a U.S. submarine crew gone rogue after the U.S. government tries to frame them for the nuking Pakistan and tries to destroy their sub. In retaliation, the captain of the sub launches a nuclear missile set for Washington D.C., but detonates it in an uninhabited location. This show of force is their gambit to prevent the U.S. from pursuing them further.

The crew commandeers an island where a NATO owned missile monitoring station has been established and treats it as their own territory, establishing a DMZ, with the threat of launching the remaining nukes on board the submarine in case any government tries to go after them.

There are numerous characters to explore in the show (ala LOST) like the captain and how he deals with the death of his son, his ex-o (executive officer) and how his wife deals with pressure from the U.S. government, a female lieutenant (daughter of an admiral) who is third in command, and struggling with issues about being respected, a female scientist (ala Tony Stark) who is responsible for the submarine's cloaking technology, a stowaway Navy Seal who is dealing with guilt, a crime lord on the island, manipulating the sub's crew, etc.

So many characters to explore, and I'm not sure all the players have been introduced.

If you like military type shows, where there exists both internal and external conflict, then the Last Resort is the current show for you. As my friend would put it, the show makes you realize that there are a lot of evil men in the world (which may sound depressing) but there are a few characters on the show that try to prove that there are still some individuals with redeeming qualities and even those who are evil are trying to atone for their past mistakes.

Try the show out and share your thoughts and opinions about it. Thanks.
