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.

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.

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.

This is such an unfortunate case of not having a singular vision and committing to it.

It had a really interesting setup, and greatly executed, but shortly it begun to fall apart.

I get the sense that one person had a great idea and then more people started contributing to make it more "accessible" to more audiences, resulting in a bland mixed soup.

Unfortunate, and doesn't seem that it will get any better looking at the cast.

Started reasonably well. I like Jason Clark so tried to stick with it but couldn't get past ep2. I was looking forward to some glorious scenery but that seemed to end after ep 1. After that the majority of scenes were indoors in various 'locations'. It is also preposterous that we are meant to believe that CIA agent Sidney Scofield trained 'Havlock'. She's way too young to have gained the qualifications and experience to pull that off.
