This thread is for the discussion of ABC TV's "The Last Resort" which is filming in Hawaii. From Wikipedia:

Commentary
ABC TV has successfully tied up the Ft. Ruger studio in Kahala now for several years. They had it for at least 5 years while LOST was on ABC, and then had it for another 2 years with the less than steller TV series Off the Map and The River also filming here.
Perhaps The Last Resort will be a hit... I think that is what ABC is hoping. They have been looking for another LOST since 2010....
The program supposedly premieres this coming Thursday September 27 on ABC (KITV 4 locally)... except that episode already "aired" on Yahoo (with no commercials) and is available on Hulu for viewing as I expect the rest of the episodes will be.
I've seen the program. It looks promising... a U.S. Navy Nuclear sub anchors off a small tropical island resort after it defies questionable orders from the United States to launch their nuclear missiles. Looks like these guys will become a presence on this island and use their remaining (17) arsenal of missiles as a means of defense and negotiation. There are people on the island, in fact it is some kind of "resort" already... not much is known about it so far.
Looks like the location shooting is done at the often used Kualoa Ranch on Windward Oahu, at least from what I could make in the first episode.
Whether the finicky TV viewer buys into this series (among several newbies being introduced this fall) remains to be seen.... at least I have to wonder if ABC has another series in the works in case this show fails so that they can continue using the state facilities out in Kahala.
Anyway use this thread to discuss all aspects of this show - episodes, production, cast, ratings, reviews, etc. Have fun.
