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

    Basically, mix together the good parts of Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead, and distill it down to 5 seasons with no filler. It’s one of my favorite binge-watches.

        I stand by my opinion, which is what it is. An opinion.

        That being said, only 2 seasons of The Last Ship had 13 episodes, the rest only had 10 each.

        So 56 total epsodes, versus Battlestar’s 76 episodes + 4-hour pilot miniseries + 2 TV films.

        Or The Walking Dead’s 177 episodes, just for the original series. Which blows up to 336 episodes and counting, if you include sequels and spinoff shows.

        Opinions may vary, but at least from a numbers standpoint, The Last Ship has less potential for filler episodes. If you really wanted to, you could stop watching the show after season 3, and get a complete-enough story. But the show’s main selling point is the action, and it delivers on that front all the way through.

          It just me, I dont like long serie (except thoses will self contained episode) Even something I liked, the 3 body problem, had 2 full episode (close to the end) of filler in 1 season. And they already got past the 1st book in that season, so they have room to 1 or 2 more season at best.

          5 season?.. no way I can invest in that, but cool for those who can enjoy this kind of show
