Initially, Syfy’s The Ark is a rough ride — and not only because the premiere episode opens with a catastrophic event that destroys much of the spaceship it’s set on, along with most of its passengers.
Its premise feels borrowed from countless other sci-fi tales. Its heroes seem to have been plucked half-formed from a factory of tired tropes. And its tone is off somehow, as if showrunners Dean Devlin (Leverage) and Jonathan Glassner (Stargate Sg-1) haven’t yet decided whether to lean into the grimness of its survival drama, or into the jarring uplift of its credits theme.
Yet just as the ship’s crew begin to rise to the occasion, so too do their series’ disparate elements. The Ark may never be admired for its thematic profundity, or its brave ideas, or its nuanced character development. But by the fourth hourlong episode sent to critics (of a...

The Last Ship's final chapter is just a few weeks away, and TNT has dropped a high-octane new trailer that shows all of the key players in precarious situations.
"The world is finally recovering from the deadly virus that devastated the population, but global political unrest remains," reads the official logline.
"Tom Chandler (Eric Dane) has retired and his former crew has scattered, many having risen in the ranks within the Navy."
"Sasha Cooper (Bridget Regan), Lieutenant Danny Green (Travis Van Winkle), Sbs Wo-n Wolf Taylor (Bren Foster) and Sergeant Azima Kandie (Jodie Turner Smith) are on a covert mission in Panama. When they are wrongly blamed for an attack on the Panamanian president, the consequences for the United States are dire."
