This evening, ABC airs the last episode of Last Resort — titled “Controlled Flight Into Terrain.” The network cancelled the Thursday night military drama after a short season of 13 episodes.
With low ratings, the writing was on the wall almost from the start. It was clear that Last Resort wouldn’t be getting a second season. Thankfully, ABC execs made their decision before the cast and crew had wrapped up filming, giving them time to change the 13th script and give fans some closure.
The cast and crew filmed the series finale in December and you can read some of their thoughts here.
If you missed the last episode, you can read about it.
Have you seen the series finale? What did you think of it? Are you satisfied that the show was given a proper ending?
Loved the show I did not realize it was being cancelled.
Last nights show was a good closure to the 4 months I invested in it.
You get a get show with excellent acting and it gets cancelled! Wow!

sorry to see it end but glad it had an ending – I loved it from the start – I am tired of all these silly half hour sitcoms about stupid stuff – like others have said another good show gone to soon – best of luck to all the cast and crew
Last Resort was the only show I watch on prime time tv. Now i have no reason to watch ABC for its shows….
I really enjoyed the and shocked to find it had been cancelled. I’m glad they had an ending but I would of rather it had been a 2 hour show as the final, as it was to rushed.
Freddy, The Neighbors is not rubbish, I love it.
I will miss this show and my husband and I loved the ending last night. I am retired Navy and loved the strong female military characters and the acting of the CO, XO and COB was awesome. Thank you to all involed in putting this show together.
Show became very repetitive after a few episodes. Season finale was weak and there were way too many commercials to hold your the interest.
This show was the greatest….but once again ABC cancels a great show and keeps crap like The Neighbors on, I guess some viewers like to continue to watch stupid stuff….If you want a network with stupid things to watch, ABC is it…
Yes I saw the last episode. It was really good. I am so disappointed that the show cancelled. My wife and I always looked forward to Thursday evening to watch Last Resort. I don’t havee many shows that I really like. I will miss this one!!
I liked this show a lot! Andre Braugher is a great actor. Thanks for the final episode. At least there was an ending. Remember the show “Surface”? I’ still wish there was some closure to that one after all these years. Oh well.
Thanks ABC… for nothing. Another quality show bites the dust alright. While teenage vampire flicks, “cop dramas” (jezus enough of the cop drama already) and fast food, laugh track comedy rule the airwaves any intense drama or quasi sci-fi series that shows any originality or possibly goes beyond the US’s comfort zone gets shelved before getting a chance to develop. How much money is spent, how many actors waste a year of their lives just for ABC to pull the rug out from under every good series. Ratings…? Could a show with more quality than more than half the Thursday… Read more »
This show started great for the first 30 minutes, but as soon as they hit the island the show became a constant bore. What exactly are they going to do on an island. They had this secret weapon in making their sub stealth, but after a few episodes abandoned it. They should have made the series into a modern day hunt for red October, showing the drama that takes place every day being isolated on a nuclear submarine. The show had a lot of potential I just dont understand how a show with a sub could take place on an… Read more »
Low ratings??? Everyone I know loves this show?!?! I’m wondering if our own government didn’t want it taken off air with the way they are violating our rights lately, don’t want to give any good soldiers any ideas… What a shame…
While im sad that it had to end thats something I will remember ABC that YOUR NETWORK and ONLY YOUR NETWORK ends shows in the correct manner. I am tired of good shows cancelled with some bullcrap ending that leaves everyone wonder what if. For an example I will use the show Firefly, that was a great show I have watched the episodes and the movie at least twice(a few episodes a 3rd time) but there was no ending to most of the story arc. I say this to you television networks if you cant end your shows with grace… Read more »
This series really got ****
Other then “Justfied” it was my favorite show? Good draw a why too many commercials so always recorded it?
