The trailers and other bits and pieces we’ve seen of TNT‘s new summer series The Last Ship have been intriguing, but with this new trailer they enter the world of ‘creepy’, which I find completely excellent. And I have great love for their new hashtag, #DONTBREATHE. It may be some splashover love from the abundance I have for Helix, but no matter. Bring it on, please.
