    The Last Ship: The crew of a US Navy destroyer is faced with a new reality, as a pandemic wipes out nearly all of humanity.

    Basically, mix together the good parts of Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead, and distill it down to five seasons, 56 episodes, with no filler.

    The whole show moves at a breakneck pace in the best way; for instance, the virus that kicks off the show’s plot is cured just nine episodes in. Most of the following seasons’ underlying plot revolves around the struggles just to mass-produce and distribute said cure.

      I like how it didn’t dawdle, but at the same time I wish it went just a little slower. Things got up and running just a little to fast. I would have liked to see a little more of them alone and a little more of them trying to rebuild.

      Also RiP Eric Dane who I just found out the other day passed a couple months ago.

      I forgot about this show! I loved how they kept things moving and didn’t drag. Also the random season where Captain became a gladiator cage fighter, lol.
