The Last Ship

[Vista]

Anyone else been watching it on Friday nights over the last 10 or 11 weeks?

 

I confess, I'm hooked and can't believe I'm going to have to wait till the summer for the next series!

No ... I did record it but ran out of space as I was recording too many other things so had to delete it. Will wait for the repeats

What's it about? Never heard of it?

It's based on a book of the same name but essentially the world is in crisis due to the outbreak of a fatal virus for which there is no cure (ebola anyone?). When the outbreak began a USN Destroyer was up in the Arctic with a couple of virologists aboard on a research mission. They are observing radio silence and know nothing of what is happening till their mission completes. They are then tasked with developing a cure. Meanwhile they get into some scrapes with a rogue Russian admiral on the way.

 

It's a bit predictable at times but is entertaining none the less and I enjoyed it. Can't wait for season 2 in the summer.

Glad it's not just me then!

 

I confess that I was originally drawn to the naval side of it having had a naval career on similar ships but it's a good yarn whether you understand all the naval jargon or not
