found myself hooked on that although they ladle out the treacly seppotastic military rubbish pretty thick.
yer almost obliged to do about 10 comedic Benny Hill salutes at the overwrought bits every episode.
The last line of the series, from the captain, was so ludicrous I just burst out laughing
Boardwalk empire starts sep 7
The Leftovers, started a bit sooky, but some murderously well done episodes come thru
SoA iHomo it jumped the shark about 2 seasons ago when it went from cool biker dudes hijinks to soapy sooky stories focused too much on the nasty women. Fucking Peg Bundy married to the producer! Wrecked ut!
(spoiler alert)
Yes, you are going to get this when Michael Bay produces a TV series - nothing is ever underdone. I told the wife the Doctor McSteamy (Eric Dane) was in it and she showed an interest, then she saw the first scene in Egypt and then got too grossed out. Fair to say she's not a fan of the walking dead either, but strangely she was hooked on GoT after 2 episodes.
The reason it caught my attention was Adam Baldwin (Chuck, Firefly) and Rhona Mitra (Strike Back and various b-grade movies). The rest are nobodies, although I could have sworn the evil chick (the one trying to seal all the vaccines) in the last episode I've seen before.
The think I worry about with The Last Ship is the same thing that happened to Revolution; the main goal of the show was achieved after a season. For Revolution they had to get the power back on, when it went on it went back off again and the series took a very boring turn. No wonder it was cancelled. In The Last Ship they have found the vaccines and now they are trying to find their way in the post-apocalyptic world. They have any meany good story arcs to run as Revolution, let's hope they choose the right one.
For me the best season of SoA was still season three, I NEVER saw that ending coming in the season finale with the ATF agent before they went to jail. Some of the finales have been good, but the seasons have been lacking. Although ol' Peggy Bundy doesn't make it more like a soap opera, but what she did to Tara I think many fans have been screaming for for about 7 seasons!
Have you managed to catch Falling Skies?
