So I've given this show a decent shot. But - SPOILER ALERT - it suffers from the same conceit as the original Star Trek. In what rational world does the captain go on away missions? It ends badly.
I have to admit that the best post-apocalyptic sci-fi was the Battlestar Galactica reboot. It dealt with the moral and ethical issues of being the remnants of humanity with amazing sophistication. It avoided the standard liberal platitudes. It made you care and wonder what the hell you would do in that situation.
Last Ship? Not so much.
