Administrator Toups Posted May 12, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted May 12, 2012 “LAST RESORT” 500 feet beneath the ocean’s surface, the U.S. ballistic missile submarine Colorado receive their orders. Over a radio channel, designed only to be used if their homeland has been wiped out, they’re told to fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan. Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) demands confirmation of the orders only to be unceremoniously relieved of duty by the White House. XO Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman) finds himself suddenly in charge of the submarine and facing the same difficult decision. When he also refuses to fire without confirmation of the orders, the Colorado is targeted, fired upon, and hit. The submarine and its crew find themselves crippled on the ocean floor, declared rogue enemies of their own country. Now, with nowhere left to turn, Chaplin and Kendal take the sub on the run and bring the men and women of the Colorado to an exotic island. Here they will find refuge, romance and a chance at a new life, even as they try to clear their names and get home. “Last Resort” stars Andre Braugher (“Men of a Certain Age”) as Captain Marcus Chaplin, Scott Speedman (“The Vow”) as XO Sam Kendal, Daisy Betts (“Sea Patrol”) as Lieutenant Grace Shepard, Dichen Lachman (“Being Human”) as Tani Tumrenjack, Daniel Lissing (“Crownies”) as SEAL Officer James King, Sahr Ngaujah (“House of Payne”) as Mayor Julian Serrat, Camille de Pazzis as Sophie Gerard, Autumn Reeser (“Hawaii Five-O,” “No Ordinary Family”) as Kylie Sinclair, Jessy Schram (“Falling Skies,” “Once Upon a Time”) as Christine Kendal. Recurring guest star is Robert Patrick (“The Gangster Squad”) as Master Chief Joseph Prosser. “Last Resort” was written by Shawn Ryan (“The Shield,” “The Unit,” “The Chicago Code”) and Karl Gajdusek, who are also executive producers along with Martin Campbell and Marney Hochman Nash. The pilot for “Last Resort” was directed by Martin Campbell. “Last Resort” is produced by Middkid Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.

Members wingwalker Posted May 17, 2012 Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 Given the premise and the timeslot, this is DOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Another one that I don't understand how it can be a series. It comes off like a made for tv movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted September 28, 2012 Members Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'd like to see this show fail only because it would put Scott Speedman back in the unemployment line where that no talent [!@#$%^&*] belongs! Sorry Andre B and Robert P! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted September 28, 2012 Members Share Posted September 28, 2012 I love Andre Braugher, but that was just downright horrible. The whole premise makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted September 28, 2012 Members Share Posted September 28, 2012 I liked this just because of Andre Braugher. Couldn't keep up with the younger cast. The plot maybe unreal but that's what I want unreal not reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 29, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted September 29, 2012 I thought it was pretty good. Will definitely be tuning in next week. I also love the background music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 Canceled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 Not surprised. I love Andre Braugher but I couldn't get into this show. I wish TNT hadn't canceled Men of a Certain Age. That was a perfect show for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 Of course it is. Everything has to be in the top ten or it's cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 No, shows have to bring in solid ratings which Last Resort did not. It's ratings were ridiculously low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 And the show was very expensive with the special effects, the large cast and the location shooting in Hawaii. LR needed to be the second coming of Lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
