Summary of Season 1 (2014) - 3 discs
While most of the rest of the world's population is being ravaged by a pandemic, the crew of a naval destroyer sails free, escaping infection. Now, they must confront a vastly changed landscape and figure out how to save what's left of the world.
Following the return of the destroyer Nathan James to U.S. shores -- carrying supplies of the vaccine and cure -- the crew finds that conditions on land have changed drastically, making the challenge of saving lives that much more difficult.
The USS Nathan James continues to sail the seas, bringing supplies and solace to survivors of the pandemic that wiped out much of humanity. But with rumors of cure hoarding and a potential virus mutation, the crisis is far from over.
This season finds the "Nathan James" crew continuing their efforts to aid the survivors of the global pandemic. With Capt. Chandler's retirement, executive officer Mike Slattery takes over command and soon discovers a new threat.
Based on William Brinkley's popular novel, The Last Ship chronicles a global catastrophe that nearly decimates the world's population. In the final season of The Last Ship, the world is finally recovering from the deadly virus that devastated the population, but global political unrest remains.

TV-14 - This program contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age.
Parents need to know that The Last Ship is a tense drama about a post-apocalyptic scenario involving a pandemic and military personnel attempting to find a cure. The show contains no sex, drinking, or drugs and only the mildest of foul language, such as when one Navy officer calls another "badass." However, the premise of the show is quite scary, and both plot points and imagery are far too frightening for young viewers. The camera shows us dozens of dead bodies, including hospital wards stuffed full of the bloody, groaning dead and dying. Young children are affected by the pandemic and shown dying in bed. Family members are killed or in danger; characters are suddenly killed or commit suicide on-screen. There are countless shots of high-tech military weaponry that make it look glamorous; guns and bombs are shown and fired/detonated.
Many shots of dead bodies, including creepy imagery of plastic-wrapped bodies piled up in a freezer, a hospital ward full of bloody and decayed dead people, and sick and dying children. Characters die suddenly on-screen, including an on-screen suicide by gun. Characters are generally in mortal danger. There are shots of animals being injected with long needles. Guns are fired, and there are many admiring shots of high-tech military weaponry.
Rare cursing, often used in a jocular manner: "That was badass."
The overall tone is dark and scary. Military officers are dedicated and brave in this show, sending a powerful message of reverence for the armed forces.
The Last Ship was filmed with extensive cooperation from the U.S. Navy, and as such pictures a lot of real military tech, making it look cool.
