It's one of those shows that is better than it has any right to be, similar to Ted Lasso in that regard. I thought the first episode of S2 was cheesy AF. Critics say it starts slow but is just as good if not better than S1 so I'll continue to watch. S1 was pretty good.

Stallone's weird-ass old face creeped me out, but will probably watch S2 because I love Martin Starr.

He sucks in this, can be replaced by any pothead but he played the perfect role in Silicone Valley.

Any recommendations for a show that's fun right out the gates; action-packed, plot holes, bad dialogue and subpar acting but awesome nonetheless? I'm thinking something like 24 or Prison Break. In Patrice O'Neal's roast of Charlie Sheen, he described Charlie's work as very Christian Slaterish. "He sucks, but he's good—but he sucks at the same time." That's what I'm looking for.

Prison Break season 1

remember seeing pilot for last resort, thinking it was going to be the greatest show ever and then by episode 2 i was thinking it actually sucks and by episode 3 stopped - very similar to the last ship

greg, in all honestly, the best guilty pleasure popcorn fun show i've ever watched is entourage

I watched all of The Last Ship, it was ok, a bit better the first few seasons.

I just watched the trailer for Last Resort, I don't think I ever heard of it, it seems to have some good reviews but if it got cancelled after only 1 season it couldn't have been that good.

I found the Last Ship to be perfect airplane content when I was traveling a lot internationally.

Black Sails is another one.

Strike Back is probably what you are looking for. Banshee and Warrior will probably have too good of dialogue and acting.
