Season 1 Review:
[Jessica Raine] brings a sultry, complicated vibe to a show that’s mostly square-jawed and obvious. She communicates the depths of boredom, loneliness and depression that afflict expatriate communities, and The Last Post gets interesting, rather than just pretty, whenever she’s onscreen.

Season 1 Review:
Though gorgeously shot and replete with a who’s who cast culled from top-tier British television shows, the first three episodes available for review suffer when they step gingerly around colonial politics, appearing as uncomfortable as its mid-century characters are in exploring those messy intersections between peacekeeping and oppressive foreign occupation.

Season 1 Review:
There are only two or three recurring characters with dialogue in the three episodes sent to critics, only one of which is bestowed with a shred of backstory or distinctive personality. Even ignoring the impolitic elements of character development, however--which again, Moffat really shouldn’t have--the greater sin of The Last Post is that the writing is stodgy and unrealistic plot is as parched for tension and excitement as the dunes in the desert where these men and their families are stationed.
