I've been seeing the previews of this series. What's most disturbing is the focus on a rogue government and a conspiracy against a US military crew and submarine. There are enough nutters out there who will think this is based on a true story. "Hey Bubba, I done told ya that they are out to get us!" sort of mentality.
I don't think encouraging this sort of nuttery is really prudent right now. jmo It also depends on whether they carry on with the government conspiracy theme.............
Here's a synopsis:
500 feet beneath the ocean's surface, the U.S. ballistic missile
submarine Colorado receives their orders. Over a radio channel, designed
only to be used if their homeland has been wiped out, they're told to
fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan. Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre
Braugher) demands confirmation of the orders only to be unceremoniously
relieved of duty by the White House. XO Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman)
finds himself suddenly in charge of the submarine and facing the same
difficult decision. When he also refuses to fire without confirmation of
the orders, the Colorado is targeted, fired upon, and hit. The
submarine and its crew find themselves crippled on the ocean floor,
declared rogue enemies of their own country. Now, with nowhere left to
turn, Chaplin and Kendal take the sub on the run and bring the men and
women of the Colorado to an exotic island. Here they will find refuge,
romance, and a chance at a new life, even as they try to clear their
names and get home. From executive producer/writer Shawn Ryan (The
Shield, The Unit, The Chicago Code) and Executive producer/writer Karl
Gajdusek comes this dramatic new international action-thriller about
treachery, treason, and nuclear brinksmanship. LAST RESORT contemplates
establishing of a new society in the modern world, and character becomes
everything when unthinkable decisions must be made.
