The Last Frontier

The premise and the initial 3 or 4 episodes set up an interesting conflict between the FBI and the CIA as they try to capture escaped prisoners from a plane crash in Alaska. One prisoner is a CIA traitor.

The problem is the you learn what the CIA is up to through backstory exposition and the finale strains credibility.

It's mostly fun, but not the most satisfying story.

Had potential. But unrealistic, corny and not rooted in reality. If this is how law enforcement would behavein this situation... we are in trouble.. and yes. We are already in trouble. The problem starts I. The first 20 minutes.. and nosedives. Another huge disappointment with Apple's choice content, which is why I probably can never find anything to watch.

I'm about to finish The Last Frontier and while it's far from the best show I've seen this year it's edgy and suspense enough to hold your attention and for you to be entertained by it. It's about a U. S. Marshall (Jason Clarke) whose life is turned upside down when a plane full of violent inmates is deliberately crashed in the remote wilderness of Alaska. The CIA officer (Haley Bennett) is after one very dangerous person (Dominic Cooper) while the Marshall wants to bring them all in. The pacing could've been a little better and this probably should've been a 7 or 8 episode series instead of 10 but I still enjoyed it and never found myself bored.

Episode one reeled me in. It felt fresh and the fast-paced action kept me engaged till the credits rolled. It felt promiaing and so I continued to eps 02 thinking this was gonna be binge-worthy.

Episode 2, seemed like a filler, trying to establiah main characters and their motives. Allowing the audience to gauge who they would sympathize with for the rest of the show. This episode instead, felt like a stretched filler, a mixed bag that for some odd reason, I fell asleep aomwwhere at the halfway mark. There goes the plan to binge LOL. Anyway I managed to finish E02 but the inferest waned down. Ain't no way i'm gonna binge this.

The next day 1 progressed to E03. Boy this wa a mixed bag. Yes there were aome solid thrills but the dumb decisions by juat about every main character leads me to believe the writers are clueless on how to keep audience engages besides thoae dumb decisions and plot holes. Yes the dim-witted teenage son, the unstable female agent who loses her cool easily (twice), the weird dumb decision by whoever flew the chopper and other thinga that truly distract from the story. It's like the writers were making up the atory as the crew shot the film. Oh My... this level of absurdity is so far off from what E01 has us believe. And I still have 7 more episodes????

I am trying to decide when to attempt watching E04 onwards. Should I watch it while eating? Doing the diahes? Or background noise when driving?

Sorry Jason Clarke, you are the man! But this ain't something to carry by yourself. Haley Bennet ia auch a letdown (feels like she doesn't wanna be in this mini series) and dominic cooper doesn't win any hearts as a cold-blooded ruthless villain.

Maybe I'll revisit this review and edit it if it gets.

But believe me, those giving this overall review anything above 7 surely only watched episode 1.

A plane crashed in Alaska is full of violent convicts.

A manhunt begins, as FBI and CIA arrive at the site.

The local police, with main good guy, is vigilent, but the prisoners branch out and action becomes hide and seek in the snow and cold.

Good scenery, decent pacing, average dialog.

The show deserves your attention. It is good entertaining, light tension and thrill.

Users crashed it like a plane of bad guys, but it is just a decent TV show. I enjoy it, I am at ep. 4. People hate everything these days, like whole world is evolving around them, and they feel the need to diminish other people s joy.

Just have fun watching. It is simple.
