Last Resort the new ABC drama about the lives of many people who work for the USA in a sub and take orders from them, party and have a good time. These good times are stopped when Captian Marcus Chaplin refuses an order he is demoted and then his second in command is put in charge but also refuses causing the Americans to fire at this submarine. Then when the US government say to the public that it was the Pakistan who fired the missile maybe causing a world wide war. When the crew survive and set up camp on fictional island Sainte Marina and tell the government not to fire at them they become a sovereign nation with some deadly weapons still in their hands. The crew have survived but the Army covers up some things by telling the population that they had died. Andre Braugher playing Marcus is another great role for this actor, the end of the episode gives the character a monologue to the American army informing them that they will fight back if America try's to get in their way. Scott Speedman playing XO Sam Kendal is an interesting part as he has a wife at home that he may never see again, but the performance from Speedman is OK but nothing really to talk about. The rest of the cast is fine but this show to me is all about the production values directed very well with this first episode by Martin Campbell. I did like the pilot but I'm worried where it will go on especially since show may get boring staying in one place for too long.
EPISODE GRADE: B (MVP: Andre Braugher)
