The Last Ship

The latest tv series I've been renting is The Last Ship ...

an American action-drama television series, loosely based on the 1988 novel of the same name by William Brinkley .... After a global viral pandemic wipes out over 80% of the world's population, the crew (consisting of 218 people) of a lone unaffected U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-151), must try to find a cure, stop the virus, and save humanity.

One of the reasons I gave it a try, aside from it being post-apocalyptic, was that the executive producer is Michael Bay. His films are often panned by critics, but he is really good at action films and has done two of my past favorites: The Rock and The Island ...





Anyway, The Last Ship is pretty good so far, and weirdly interesting because of our own real-life COVID pandemic. You might like it too.
