Last Resort Season 1 Episode 1

Captain 

Last Resort is full of tension, and that is the best part of the pilot episode. The mood, atmosphere and mistrust that the first episode is able to create is outstanding and separates them from the rest of the pack.

The show is about a submarine crew that disobeys orders to fire nukes on Pakistan then they are fired on by the U.S. for disobeying orders. But not everyone in the government knows this truth and instead think that the sub was fired on by Pakistan and retaliate by attacking Pakistan. 

Andre Braugher as Captain Chaplin steals the show. His speeches suck you in and don’t let, especially his last one of the episode. He is such a well built character. The rest of the crew works well in the show, each getting their little moments in this episode and sets up some story lines down the road for them to explore. 

This show is the most like LOST out there. By that I mean that the show goes for it. Money was spent making this feel as real as possible and that really shows the commitment of the show. The sub looks great, both the interior but even the CGI outside of the sub is done well. The mystery of why they were attacked or what was the Navy Seals doing in Pakistan in the first place can drive the show long enough for Last Resort  to find itself and know where it is going down the road.
