    Good show. Very entertaining. First two or three episodes with a mind bender. I was hooked on it. Satisfying ending.

    Unrelenting from start to finish
    This show is easily one of the best shows I've ever personally had the opportunity to watch. I saw a preview about a week prior to the release and a few buddies and I just happened to be drinking and browsing for something to watch when this was dropped a few hours ahead of schedule. I COULD NOT stop watching this... every episode was like a mini movie,    Unrelenting from start to finish

I COULD NOT stop watching this... every episode was like a mini movie, and the story could not have been more perfectly written. Chris Pratt deserves Emmy after Emmy for this... he brought to life the character and the authenticity that was observed was undeniable. Congrats on a true masterpiece and shame on any of these completely biased and so called "critics" who gave this review anything but stellar marks. This show is nothing short of incredible in ever way.    … Expand

This thriller is not for the faint of heart I highly recommend it. And for the book series the audible version is also excellent. I listen to it on long runs or hikes.
    Watched it a second time with my son who also enjoyed it and was reading the book at the same time - big thumbs up for us and episodes 4 and 5 were stand outs for different reasons and the whole progression of action to psychological thriller to conspiracy thriller to a time of reckoning works really well.    … Expand

    WOW! We need more series like this! Awesome production value, cinematography, acting, writing, dialogue, and action sequences. I can't see any weak aspects, but I gave it a 9 just to be restrained. Could very easily been a 10! Maybe an actual specops person would be more critical, but that's not me. Loved every second of it! Sad it ever had to end!

    This show is conservative propaganda/kill the bad guys/ us against them; covering every reason why America is mocked. It ranking so high on the user's list just shows me how little I can trust the tasteless bros who takeover the reviewing over here. What a waste of time and a complete embarassment for Amazon video.

    Poor Chris Pratt. I don’t think there is anyway he could make the critics happy. But I hope he knows he still made a crowd pleaser. Don’t worry about the critics Chris!

    Old school action, grit and masculinity that we lack these days. Most audience will like it, shill liberal critics won't. Great character depth, solid action and no shoe horning current media thing/ politics and narratives down your throat. More of this please!

    Such a good show. I honestly haven't seen a show this good in a long time. These fake critics who are paid for activists have truly played their cards and shown they don't actually care about giving honest critiques. A condemnation from critics is always a recommendation for viewers.

    I wrote a detailed review of this show, just a few days after release.. Somehow, it disappeared..
    I can't believe after spending that much time writing something, it just vanishes.
    This was an amazing show, I believe this is my favorite performance from Chris Pratt, it was very realistic, if any CGI was used it was unnoticeable, which is how it's supposed to be.

    Everything you want from a series like this. Action, suspense, conspiracy, betrayal, and heart. Also, the most complex and accurate portrayal of SEALs ever. Pratt demonstrates more range with each role and hear he is excellent. We know why some people gave this show bad reviews. Which is just one more reason to watch and enjoy it. The Terminal List is what you want.

    I used to think Chris Pratt was overrated, but he really surprised me with this excellent performance. Writing, directing, and acting were all pretty solid. The only complaint I have is that pacing was a bit off here and there. Overall, a great show.

    Overall it’s an enjoyable special forces ride and Chris Pratt is believable as an operator. The show does a 180 turn in episode 3 and I’d have rather been guessing if he was actually losing his grip on reality a little longer. However, I agree with other user reviews that the critics panned the series more for what it represents than the actual show.

    An action-military-revenge series with what I would call a fairly predictable plot. Lots of guns, explosions, car chases, etc.

    In my opinion, acting, writing, directing, casting, etc comes together in a fairly exciting and immersive entertainment experience - assuming you enjoy this type of genre.

    This is a good show. It is violent but the show has an excellent plot and is carried out well within the number of episodes it has. It isn't rushed nor is it slow but is well paced. Kudos for a riveting and honest show.

    I cannot believe the public response to this. It does not have the wit of Reacher or the writing/acting chops of The Old Man, but boasts the same kind of scores. Must be something in the water. It is decidedly average in every respect. It is serviceable entertainment, if slightly slow.

    Do not listen nor pay attention to ANY of the critics reviews. Mark my words, this is an fantastic and 5* performance for Pratt. Anyone marking this under an 8 deserves to be removed from any review site.

    As for the plot, there’s no “sizzle until it fizzles” because the story never really gets off the ground, never gets up and running.

    The personality of The Terminal List can best be described as “grim,” as are the performances of Pratt and the rest of the cast. Life right now is pretty grim as it is; we don’t need this much monotonous darkness in our entertainment, too.
