Where to Watch The Last Ship in Canada

Where to Stream The Last Ship Right Now

The Last Ship is the kind of sci-fi that works on ideas as much as spectacle. It is currently available in the US on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, so there is no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees — and those who disagree tend to be in a clear minority. The production does not waste your time: every episode earns its place in the run, and the pacing is calibrated to keep you watching rather than checking how much time is left. The run length is exactly right for the story being told. Eric Dane is the anchor, but the depth of the supporting cast is what elevates it. Start it tonight and see for yourself why the ratings are where they are.

What is The Last Ship About?

The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry The Last Ship through the more ambitious episodes. Their mission is simple: Find a cure. Stop the virus. Save the world. Eric Dane and Adam Baldwin lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 5 seasons (2014–2018), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details in early episodes that only make sense later in the run.

Is The Last Ship Worth Your Time?

Perfect for late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge. The kind of show that makes you feel the absence when it ends. The Last Ship sits in the corner of the genre where ideas and character work get equal attention — not all science fiction manages that balance, but this one does. The comparison to Planet of the Apes makes sense in terms of ambition and approach, though The Last Ship develops its own identity quickly. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it, which is the mark of good science fiction. Start it and see.

Who's In It?

The cast includes Eric Dane, Adam Baldwin, Charles Parnell and more. Strong ensemble performances are a big part of what makes The Last Ship worth the time investment — the characters feel real in a way that carries the show across every episode. Each of the lead performances brings something specific to the material: the kind of work where you notice what an actor is doing without it drawing attention away from the story itself. If any of these names are on your list of performers you follow, that alone is a good reason to add The Last Ship to your queue. You can search TV Butler Pro by any of these actors to find every other show and film they have appeared in — and where each of them is streaming right now.
