The Last Ship

Season 5

The Nathan James embarks on one last mission in the fifth and final season of The Last Ship. When a Latin American dictator named Tavo launches a sneak attack on the United States’ new naval fleet former admiral Mike Chandler comes out of retirement and takes the James to Central America to organize a resistance and prevent more counties from falling to Tavo’s march across the Americas. It turns out that this being the shows last season is a good thing, as it really stretches for material and the plot seems contrived. Still, it attempts to honor the show’s original premise by working in a computer virus as the catalyst for the sneak attack and the cast delivers some strong performances. Also, the writers take some daring risks, and do a good job at building dramatic tension and suspense. Season 5 of The Last Ship has its problems, but still delivers a thrilling adventure that closes out the series.
