Obliterated cast - Meet the characters in Netflix comedy
Everything you need to know.
Action show Obliterated from the makers of Cobra Kai has landed on Netflix and proved rather divisive, with some labelling it the "worst show of 2023".
The thriller follows an elite team comprised of the best and brightest from various branches of the US military who are ordered to stop a catastrophic terrorist attack in Las Vegas.
When they believe they have neutralised the threat, they celebrate with a night of wild partying.
But little do they know they've been outsmarted by their enemies, with the deadly nuke still out there.
The cast includes Nick Zano as Chad McKnight, Shelley Hennig as Ava Winters, Terrence Terrell as Trunk and Alyson Gorske as Lana.
