NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Preacher, Captain America and Mamma Mia! alum Dominic Cooper says his new TV series, The Last Frontier, is compelling entertainment that also explores important themes like truth and morality.

"It was a nonstop page turner," Cooper, 47, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.

"Jon Bokenkamp, our show-runner, refers to it as a cheeseburger, which I didn't understand at first. But I think what he means is there's something for everyone and it felt like, and he's described it, a 1990s[-style] blockbuster action piece, but, at the same time, it's complex," Cooper said.

"People are desperately needing to follow a complex story-line about issues that are important and reveal truths and lies about the society in which we live."

Airing Fridays on Apple TV+, the series casts Jason Clarke as Frank, a U.S. Marshal whose quiet life in Alaska is upended when a plane filled with dangerous criminals -- including Cooper's former CIA asset Havlock -- crashes into the snowy mountains under his jurisdiction.
