What to Know

Critics Consensus

Squandering a crackerjack premise, The Last Frontier stretches on for too long to sustain momentum while also leaving its potential largely unexplored.

Always, I’d come back to the same damn question: is this show bad? Or knowingly bad, and therefore a little camp? Go to Full Review
Graeme Blundell The Australian Dec 15
The production is all class, the many set pieces organised with ruthless efficiency by Hargrave and the clever use of the soundtrack – similar to The Blacklist – wittily enhances mood and dramatic texture. Go to Full Review

The Last Frontier begins and ends on a high, but the middle crashes down to earth with slow, lumbering diversions that waste its cast and squander an incredible premise. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ Jan 1
As anyone who sat through the increasingly wild and wildly implausible misadventures of James Spader’s Raymond Reddington will know, subtlety is not Bokenkamp’s strong suit, but he sure he knows how to deliver addictive action and thrilling escapism. Go to Full Review

"L’air Perdu" is the last thing that The Last Frontier needed so close to its finale. Go to Full Review

What makes this edgy, suspenseful manhunt/procedural series unique is the spectacular scenery, rugged landscapes cinematically captured by cinematographer Barry Donlevy. Go to Full Review

Cynthia C. @RT68125412 May 19 Loved it, intriguing and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Good acting good story line. See more S P @RT38185926 May 18 I couldn't get past how ridiculously unrealistic the first few minutes of the first episode are - where "physics" seem to only apply to random background characters. Zzz See more Kim C @KimCostello May 2 It was ridiculous from the very first moment. I made it 22 minutes in before turning it off. Honestly I shouldn't have made it past the first 5 minutes I don't know what I was thinking. See more Zahid T @Zahid2025 Mar 18 Excellent acting. Great direction and storyline. One of the better Apple TV shows. This is one sore that deserves a second season See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Mar 3 It kinda knows it is somewhat of a soap but has solid acting, Clarke rocks, Bennett delivers, and the action is good during the earlier procedural episodes See more Andrew R. @ADufresne Feb 20 First two episodes are great and then it quickly descends into mediocrity with choices that are arbitrary and highly illogical. I’m on the last episode and I guess I’ll finish but I’ve lost most of my interest See more Read all reviews
