I don't see a lot of resemblence in the two. Having read the story its based off of I can promise you its very different.The Last Ship looks more or less like a classic doomsday-show commissioned by the US Navy PR department.
There's generally a fine line between entertainment and propaganda. With this show, the line is in bold italics. I don't mind. Just gets me stuck studying the technique more than the story.
Started watching Whispers. Looks like another Dome. Some clichéd "who is that mysterious guy" - "who is this cute little girls secret friend", etc and so forth. Sprinkled with your average filler of Family Matters-level drama. Will keep watching. Won't expect much more than the standard dime-a-dozen weekly mystery-carrot shows.
I would say the new series Between is very similar to the Dome though. Kind of a cross between that and Jeremiah.
