Michael Bay's Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Series Is TV's Smartest 5-Season Binge

Article excerpt

While viewers have increasingly gravitated toward end-of-world narratives, evidenced by hits like Fallout and The Last of Us, The Last Ship remains overlooked despite fitting squarely into the genre's current popularity. The article argues the series merits binge-watching status comparable to its better-known competitors, even as Netflix and other streamers dominate the dystopian landscape.
