With their great writing, expansive casts and outstanding production quality, these are really fun, smart and addictive shows.”

TNT’s summer action series will kick off Sunday, June 22, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) with the premiere ofThe Last Ship, from executive producer Michael Bay (Transformers). Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy) and Rhona Mitra (Strike Back) star in the series about a Navy vessel that may be humanity’s last hope in the wake of a worldwide catastrophe. read article
