The new show Last Resort about the rogue Submarine.

I have to tell you, from my point of view it is very good and tonight it is clear that the bad guys in this show are the neocons that have taken over the government.
I recommend it FWIW

But so far I'm very impressed. Of course, I love Andre Braugher. I was seriously disappointed when Men of a Certain Age was canceled.

In any case, I just watched it and it was easily the best episode of the series yet.

I hope and pray that there are actually ranking officers in our military who would behave that way if a similar situation occurred. Hell of a show. Tonight's episode was excellent.

I thought it was very good episode. Sadly IMHO it is getting away from Hunt For Red October and more like Lost. Im getting tired of characters being overly antagonistic for no other reason than douche baggery, i.e. the COB/Master Chief. While I have high hopes for this show I think we will be left with a cliff ending (Awake, Alcatraz, Heroes) cancellation. Hopefully I will be proven wrong...now I gotta watch tonight's episode. Commercial free...thank you DVR.

but just found it too bombastic and filled with faux nobility and a slew of absurdities.

3 yeomen captured, one killed, then one goes wacky, SEAL romance with bar owner, etc. These all just seem like filler and it's boring.
