Premiered last night on TNT. Stars Eric Dane (McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy) and Adam Baldwin(the man they call Jayne). And the Russkies are the bad guys again...
The Last Ship is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series that is based on a novel of the same name by William Brinkley. The crew of a naval destroyer is forced to confront the reality of a new existence when a pandemic kills off most of the earth's population.
Two civilian virologists, Drs. Rachel Scott and Quincy Tophet, claiming to be studying birds, join Captain Tom Chandler and crew aboard the USS Nathan James on their way to the Arctic. Renegade Russian forces attack them, and Chandler learns the virologists are actually collecting samples of a deadly virus that has wiped out over half the human population while they have been at sea. The remaining U.S. government orders the ship home, but those aboard realize home is not as they left it. The safest place to develop a vaccine is on their ship in open water.
The ship is out on maneuvers so they are protected but they are all that's left, supposedly. Sounds interesting. It should be on repeats again this week before the next episode.
