Last Resort Preview: Trailer For Shawn Ryan's Intense Looking ABC Drama
Joining ABC's line-up this fall is the Shawn Ryan/Karl Gajdusek drama Last Resort, which stars Andre Braugher and Scott Speedman, and follows a nuclear submarine crew disobeying orders and ending up taking shelter on an exotic island. With Ryan's name attached, I have high hopes for this one and the trailer has me thinking it's going to deliver.
Despite the unfortunate cancellations of Terriers and The Chicago Code, I'm still optimistic that Shawn Ryan's latest project will achieve the kind of ratings success the previous two series deserved but didn't get. Interestingly enough, Last Resort steps away from law enforcement and takes us into a military setting, which could make for some very interesting drama.
The above description lays out the story but the trailer does a much better job of giving us quick introductions to some of the characters and then thrusting us straight into the drama as we see what happened when Braugher's character Chaplin questions orders.
Last Resort doesn't look like anything else on ABC, or on network TV, come to think of it. The story is interesting, the cast looks great and there's an exciting plot. I'll be looking forward to seeing this drama premiere this fall.
