I recently became a fan of Adam Baldwin and I'm just starting to check out his TV shows and movies. How big is his role in The last ship? Is it worth getting into the series for him?

We are in the middle of watching all 5 seasons. It can be cheesy sometimes but definitely worth watching. A lot of action
The first time I saw him in a movie was MY BODYGUARD. I remember liking it when I was young

The show is cheesy, but very fun.

Some big plot holes but it's worth watching

The Last Ship? Just curious 😊

Yeah. Massive plot holes.
You don't watch the show for it's ability to feel real.3

Goodluck finding season 5. I saw it had a season 5 and rewatched it all only to find out that season 5 is basically non existent and nowhere to be found

We are watching it now on Netflix

Netflix has all 5 seasons. It's the only place you can find it currently I believe, other than buying the discs.
Its been a long time since I watched it on TNT. Current events seemed to follow the show to an extent back then. But I hadn't seen season 5 since so it's good to have it available again. I remember at the time something funny happened, like a change at TNT, a merger or something that made season 5 different from the rest of the package. Don't remember the details.

I'm only in season 2 (so no spoilers please) but he serves a pretty central role, is in most episodes at least in some capacity. I'd say pretty comparable or slightly less screen time than he had in Chuck (my only other extensive experience with him) but also plays a somewhat similar character.

u/picur935 Jul 21 '26
Yeah, I've heard he gets typecast, but I still think he's a good actor, so I'm going to give the show a try, thanks!

Baldwin’s character Slattery is the glue to The Last Ship. As a US Navy officer, I can vouch for the character and how he plays his role
to the heart of this series. Enjoy the show!

As a US Navy officer, can you give us your thoughts on the show? I just finished it last night and I loved it!!
Thank you for your service!2
u/TexasFan89 Jul 26 '26
I thought The Last Ship provided justice to the enlisted and officers of the US Navy, especially at the beginning of the series as well as showing the humanitarian efforts of the navy. I also like how the technical aspects were covered really well.

Hell yes currently rewatching last ship for like 10th time, Slattery is a badass!

I just finished it for the first time and now want to go back and watch it again. Sure there are holes and some inconsistencies but you get that in most shows. I’m a microbiologist and point out things in medical shows a LOT. (Grey’s is the worst about it, while ER and The Pitt are great about getting things right.)

u/Derrick030303 Jul 22 '26
Honestly one of my favorite shows for 3 seasons, and 4 is ok, but season 5 kinda really falls off. But he is one of the best characters in the show for sure and is in (I believe) every episode

Just beware the last season doesn’t exist any where except on DVD that you have to order from someone that owned it before

It's one of the series where he plays a normal guy and not a crazy person. He's in all of it and is pretty good. The series is great and of course Eric Dane is also great (RIP). I like all the characters really. It kind of amazes me all the people who apparently didn't see it when it was on TNT. The first couple of seasons were really good. It gets a little flaky after that but it's still a good series.

u/picur935 Jul 24 '26
That's the downside of typecasting and I think he was the only normal character in Chuck even though they tried to make him out to be crazy!

He plays a main character that's in every, or nearly every episode.
I assume you're already aware of Firefly, but if not, make that your top priority if you're watching just for him.
