    I enjoyed this, a good revenge and justice story, and I thought it was great not seeing Chris Pratt in a comedy role.

    A great and diverse cast. Some truly terrific scenes from Christ Pratt. A really fun show and easy to recommend. And great pacing. They really find a good balance between thriller and conspiracy. I find a lot of shows/movies lean far to heavy into one or the other and you either get action with no substance or a drama that’s too slow. Kudos to the cast and crew.

    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.

    One off the best shows this year.
    A good skript and dialog.
    It took me 2 days to finish watching this show...

    Superb action and an intense performance by Pratt facilitate a great watch. A little formulaic and derivative in places it still gets you in a virtual army headlock forcing you to watch what happens next.

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!

    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!

    Chris carries this show on his back and dose a great job doing it. the show is a classic revenge with some fresh takes on an old formula. Max Payne meets the Punisher

    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!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow - each episode gets better this is not for the faint of heart as it’s an r-rated revenge thriller. Pratt rocks the PTS and stare of trauma and war and seriously pulls it off this is no P&R or Guardians role. He plays the warrior well and the supporting cast is perfect / the production values are excellent and episode 5 is a stand out for some pay offs and some scenes that rival those in Heat. Again this is no PG effort - for fans of thrillers from Tom Clancy to Brad Thor / Carr’s James Reece stands up for the modern day warrior. And I really like that there is no The Message in this / just good old fashioned storytelling characterization and twists. And remember to follow the money and go to the source. Take that into what is happening now. Do your own homework. And La Familia is everything.… Expand

    Great TV show!!! the Critics who reviewed the show (especially on rotten tomatoes) clearly just hate Pratt for no reason. The show has great plot twists and had me wanting to immediately watch the next episode. First 30 min of first ep wasn't the best (a bit slow) but after that, the show is great.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Smart, action packed thriller. The first episode was so intense that I was completely exhausted by the end. They did a great job leaving us with enough ambiguity that we’re not certain whether there is a conspiracy or if the main character is just suffering from a traumatic brain injury .

    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.

    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.

    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 love this show, it's not woke and it wasn't woke, it also wasn't woke, and while we talk about wokeness... it wasn't woke. Finally and most importantly it's not woke and has not woke talking points. :D

    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.

    Fans of quality action and thriller storytelling will have a good time with "The Terminal List," even if they'll probably be able to predict exactly where it's going.

    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.
