This show is genuinely intriguing. For the first few episodes you are wondering what is real versus what is imagined by Reese because of his head trauma. But, this show is a good solid production. Exciting, dramatic, and even touching at times. It's despicable how much critics hate Chris Pratt IRL because he is vocal about traditional family values, and equally wrong that they bring that obvious animous into their reviews, rather than just giving an honest take on the quality of the show. When users en masse dislike a 'woke hot mess' of a show, critics are quick to call it review-bombing, but if they do the same thing to a great show because they don't like an actor IRL... perfectly fine? I highly recommend you watch this show, not only because it is genuinely good, but as a middle finger to critics who are incapable of keeping their political biases out of entertainment reviews. 93% user rating. Enough said. Enjoy!
I absolutely loved The Terminal List! It's hard to even describe how much better this show was than I was expecting. First of all, Chris Pratt was terrific as the lead. He proved that he can do more than comedy and action with this dramatic performance and how he continues to grow as an actor. Pratt shows once again why he's one of the biggest actors on the planet right now. I know this is a mini-series but there is plenty of ways they can make this into a few seasons worth of great television. This action packed thriller will keep your heart pounding and wanting to binge this as fast as you can. If you haven't seen this amazing show yet then do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as possible!
The Terminal List is an action packed thriller that will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire series. It's absolutely loaded with star power led by Chris Pratt and also has incredible performances by the rest of this great cast including Taylor Kitsch, Riley Keough, Jai Courtney, Constance Wu, JD Pardo and Jeanine Tripplehorn just name a few. You don't get that kind of star power (especially Pratt) for a tv show unless you have a good show on your hands. This show is full of action but it's not a mindless action show, it has a good story that keeps you entertained throughout the show.
James Reece (Pratt) is a commander of a Navy Seals platoon that's wiped out except for him and his buddy. He gets a concussion and when explains to his bosses what happened they tell him he's wrong and have their own story of what actually happened. They keep telling him he's wrong and the trauma is why he's not remembering but it's much deeper than that. The only who who believes him is his buddy (Kitsch). Turns out he is right and the US Gov't has an agenda and are against Reece, who's a decorated and respected soldier. What is the Gov't trying to protect? Again, it's a great action show that will absolutely keep you entertained!

Ignore the critics they have no idea what they are talking about. This is probably the best show I have streamed all year. I couldn't wait to watch the next episode and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I enjoyed seeing Chris Pratt in a serious role where he isn't constantly used as the comedic relief and he did a great job as such. This is a great entry in the revenge genre and I seriously recommend it if you are considering watching it.
Don't worry, there are no politics here left or right. You'll definitely feel a bit conflicted about the protaganist at times, and wonder if he is going too far. There is particularly one scene on a beach that gives you pause. Its an engrossing thriller about a man that has nothing left to lose.
