I read some terrible reviews for this show but went ahead and watched It anyway. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It's relatively Clever in a predictable kind of way it is also quite emotional for a Military drama. The concept is clean uncomplicated and somewhat original. I find this refreshing during a time when everything from the 70's and 80's seems to be being rebooted or rehashed. I wouldn't rave about The Last Ship but I will say it's more than watchable. If you consider the level of acting in the original A Team or say Knight Rider then this isn't bad and I only mention those shows because The last Ship seams targeted at today's version of the same market. This is after teatime viewing really and just a pleasant way of wasting an hour. I will warn you that it is what we have come to expect from an American show, it is a little gun ho but what the hell. They spend the money on there shows where other countries don't. So to summarise the story concept is good, the acting is mediocre and it's light entertainment. Doubt it will win any awards but it's an inoffensive and honest show.
