Adam Baldwin And Eric Dane's Pandemic-Fueled Military TV Series Is Streaming On Netflix
This action-packed sci-fi drama follows the crew of a United States Navy destroyer as it navigates a world where a pandemic has killed most of the population.
Adam Baldwin and Eric Dane's military TV series, The Last Ship, is now available on Netflix. Originally airing from 2014 to 2018 on TNT, the five-season show follows the crew of a United States Navy destroyer as it deals with a global pandemic that has wiped out most of humanity. The series, which enlisted action filmmaker Michael Bay as an executive producer, features thrilling battle sequences in various settings.
Despite mixed critic reviews, The Last Ship earned praise for its entertainment value, as the high-stakes action revolves around developing a cure and vaccine for the virus, known as the Red Flu. The show's key characters include naval admiral Tom Chandler, portrayed by Eric Dane, and admiral Mike Slattery, played by Adam Baldwin.
Dane's character, Tom Chandler, was a tough and determined naval leader who had to make consequential decisions while facing danger. In an interview ahead of Season 4, Dane described Chandler as "a badass" and a conflicted, reluctant hero who found himself in these situations beyond his control.
Baldwin's character, Mike Slattery, rose through the ranks alongside Chandler on the USS Nathan James. Recognizable for his roles in Firefly and Chuck, Baldwin described Slattery as a man with a family who wanted to return to them but also had the responsibility of guiding and leading the crew aboard the ship.
