On Metacritic, the first season has an average score of 60 out of 100 based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Rotten Tomatoes gives the show 83% over the five seasons. The website consensus states: "Movie-sized action sequences and a pretty cast provide smooth sailing for The Last Ship, though it's not anything that hasn't been seen before." In July 2015, Entertainment Weekly's Ray Abdur Rahman said of the second season, "The story is getting more interesting as we get an on-the-ground sense of how the pandemic-ravaged US has fared."

neutral · AI labelView post →Less snarkily, The Last Ship has ever since been my go-to example of the Doctor Memory Theory of Broadway Shows: you should just always go to the show if it's offered, because even the bad ones will be staged and performed by people who were the top 0.001% of their local talent pool.
positive · AI labelView post →I am very concerned about the numerous medical errors and misrepresentation of the zombification process in the "Walking Dead" universe. Why can't the stick to the facts as beautifully and correctly laid out in World War Z or the TV series The Last Ship? Follow the science people
neutral · AI labelView post →I am currently watching The Last Ship and on season 4 it is so far off the rails, I don't think any of this science checks out 😂😂😂 The 100 goes off the rails harder than any show over ever watched, tho.

At one point, they re-upped and I listen to their pledge about honoring the constitution. To protect against any enemies, both domestic and foreign. We have to remember who we are! 💙🇺🇸
positive · AI labelView post →Anyone looking for a Netflix series. If you haven’t seen The Last Ship, you should. Before this administration, it would’ve just been another fictional thriller. Now it’s a cautionary tale.
positive · AI labelView post →Such a profound loss… My heartfelt condolences to the family. I want to highlight how much I enjoyed his role in “The Last Ship.” He truly made the show a hallmark of American resilience and perseverance. Rest in peace, kind sir…
positive · AI labelView post →The latest beneficiary of "The Netflix Effect" on Nielsen's streaming charts — aka when an old series gets a big bump after being added to the platform — is the TNT title 'The Last Ship,' which originally ran from 2014-2018. Full streaming charts: bit.ly/4vPnF8j
neutral · AI labelView post →I started watching this show The Last Ship and it is terrible, plus the politics and military propaganda are abysmal, but its just banger after banger of dumb lines like "the only thing I hate more then seeing a submarine on radar is not seeing one" and I fucking love it

neutral · AI labelView post →There’s a musical I’ve been listening to since I was like 16 called “The Last Ship” there’s a couple of songs on the soundtrack I associate with them Specifically “show some respect” which is Akihiko/Mitsuru “Dead Man’s Boots” is kinda shinji

neutral · AI labelView post →Eric Dane was in a TNT show called The Last Ship- a post apocalyptic hard-on for the military and homoeritic subservience- which was so bad that I was convinced that it was only being watched by M and I. It was utterly, mindlessly, preposterous and therefore brilliant. 53 is far too young to die.
neutral · AI labelView post →loved his series The Last Ship more than grey's anatomy. time to watch it again in remembrance R.I.P
positive · AI labelView post →This is a sad story, at 53 from ALS. My wife knows him as McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy, but I liked his as Captain Tom Chandler in the series "The Last Ship". I highly recommend it, if you haven't seen it. www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/e...
positive · AI labelView post →My fifth show of 2026 involved a bit of a field trip - but it was well worth it. I’m glad - finally - to have caught The Last Ship, in a new production.
positive · AI labelView post →THE LAST SHIP (2014-2018) was before covid 19… So glad I never watched it before. I would have been freaking out more. This show is worth the watch.
positive · AI labelView post →We *almost* got an A-list feature film adaptation of William Brinkley's nuke novel THE LAST SHIP, but Steven Soderbergh decided to do KAFKA instead. THE LAST SHIP was made into a five-season TNT series beginning in 2014.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight I’m going to see Sting in The Last Ship. I adore the soundtrack for this show. Excited
positive · AI labelView post →My dad and I are watching an old tv series from 2015 the Last Ship. Today’s episode had a submarine filled with terrible people and a bunch of foreigners using the Designated Survivor President as a puppet to take over the US. In 2015 I would have said it was a silly plot. Now we’re living it.
neutral · AI labelView post →The show titled: The Last Ship gave a grim view of what rich privileged people would do for their creature comforts
neutral · AI labelView post →That not knowing what the show is about is really the show at times too. My mom when she was alive loved Noah Wylie from ER so she was the one who wanted to see it. Sort of like the other TNT series The Last Ship....both now on Netflix. TNT is a cable channel here owned by Warner Brothers.

With hindsight, his view of the place he was once so eager to escape has shifted. “My community made me who I am. They gave me a sense of dignity, a sense of work ethic that I still have,” he told AP recently. “I wanted to thank my community and my parents, and telling the story is a way of doing that. When you escape a community to have a different kind of life, part of you wants to go back…

positive · AI labelView post →Everyone is posting about Eric Dane and Grey’s Anatomy. A few years ago back when I first got Hulu I watched one episode of “The Last Ship” and proceeded to watch the whole fucking series - it was the first show I ever binge-watched. And he was fucking great in it.

neutral · AI labelView post →In more mundane things to ponder... Setting aside your opinion of the show, it's kind of weird that the entire last (fifth) season of "The Last Ship" has been removed from streaming. Do you recall that happening with any other multi-season TV series in the streaming era?
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Last Ship series it’s from around 2013, so many coincidences but on another level but coincidences like their playbook in a sense which if so the good guys prevail as we will prevail!
positive · AI labelView post →One time I watched a cast Q&A for that dumb show he was on, “The Last Ship”, and it was so painfully clear that all the other actors hated his fucking guts
negative · AI labelView post →so sucked it up and got a 1 mo. sub (commercial free even tho it's more, I can't tolerate commercials) to Max on Amazon so I could watch the Yacht Rock doc in addition to The Last Ship series & a bunch of other stuff. Will be cramming those in until mid Jan. Bonus: ALL the Ghibli movies are there!

negative · AI labelView post →So my wife spends two nights a week with her dad and he’s watching ‘The Last Ship’ so she watches here to keep on the same episode. This is possibly the worst plotted/paced/written/acted show I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen Melrose Place.

neutral · AI labelView post →Highly recommend The Last Ship film series currently running on Netflix. It originally aired on TNT beginning in 2014. Kicks off with a dangerous pandemic but in 3rd season takes a political turn that will scare you to death because it is so relevant to today. I will say no more.
positive · AI labelView post →Finally got around to watching The Last Ship. Loved the book and read it when it came out. Holy crap, talk about a VERY different storyline. It went from a meditation on why nuclear war was bad to an inspirational show about resilience in a hyperpandemic.
