There's a bunch of good lines. My favourite is, "You guys, you wanted in on the fray. You're on the battlefield now." Also, complex characters. Again, like Drinker said, all the staple elements of a show pike this are in there. Ben was a friend who didn't bargain to have James family murdered. Hartley realised she was in the wrong and took steps but she just didn't go far enough and it weighs on her in the end. You think Katie is gonna a pain in the a*s reporter, but she actually acts and takes steps and plays the game like I've seen journalists play. Chris Pratt has spent years making my family laugh. This show, he made them cry. Mark of a great actor who is wearing his character like his skin.

Exactly, and they act like the characters they are playing. Not like the execs making the movie would act if they were in the story. Constance Wu as the journalist made all the moves journalists make. Jeanne Tripplehorn was my second favourite character after Chris Pratt. She is fully aware of her actions and realises that she didn't do enough when things got out of hand so she tries to do better after the fact, until she realises some sins cannot be forgiven. She's not just "evil corrupt government lady." Ben IS James friend but he skips missions because he points out how his office is questioning his irregular hours. His character was also neat and complex. He wasn't just "friend who betrays".

To be fair, Chris Pratt was one of the Navy SEALs in Zero Dark Thirty. Although his role was small, he definitely did it really well and felt authentic. So although that's hardly what he became known for, I could definitely see him in something like this and it didn't disappoint!

And Katie the reporter had a file on Raife in her papers as we see the last of her in the final episode.

For a while USAF LAN/WAN Admins were getting $60k to reenlist. Until you hit E5 and O3 its a struggle though, not gonna lie. You barely get paid enough to do much of anything until you have 8 years and have made E5 or O3. My E5 pay was higher than O1 and O2 pay when I got out, which is very different from when I first enlisted in 1988. Back then an E9, the highest enlisted rank got paid less than an O1, the lowest commissioned officer rank. My first paycheck in 1988 was $710 for the entire month. You'd be surprised to see what I can do with $4k a month.

Low critic scores vs good audience scores is now my best metric for judging movies

Read the books. You’ll be even more amazed at how good the story is. The show changed some things significantly but it’s still better than anything else out there.

That's the thing that makes this show stand out--there was no message. It was pure story. At no point did it ever feel like the cast were giving you side eye while delivering a monologue about patriarchy or BLM or the horrors of capitalism or anything like that. You could just enjoy the show for what it was. There's a reason why this show and Top Gun have done so well this summer while everything else loaded with "The Message" has flopped. I really hope there are still enough people left in the entertainment industry who have a brain and see what The Terminal List and Top Gun have accomplished. That there's money to be made when you deliver a quality product. As for the critics. They gave Cuties--a movie for pedophiles--glowing reviews. That says all you need to know about their view of the world.

You were right until the end. It seems you did not understand Cuties. It was a movie against pedophilia, a trigger alarm for people to understand that child sexualization is wrong. I am amazed at how hypocrites can americans be.

Effective and controlled. Such a breath of fresh air, when soldiers act like soldiers, not action heroes.

I remember back in the seventies '2000ad' ran a series called 'Mach 1' - he was a kind of cross between 007 and the 6 Million Dollar Man: he'd fight the generic terrorists and evil people but then the story went to a different level when he began to realise the people he was working for were far worse. In the end he was shot dead by the British army while he was trying to help someone escape from captivity. Amazing story and it's a pity it was never made into a film.

Had ot playing in the background while playing mobile games. As a multitasker the story drove me in nicely. Had been resisting to watch it because I thought it'd be crappy political propaganda or something, but out of boredom and while drinking some beers, decided to give it a go. I was impressed

I don't know how many people noticed, but the guy who Reece shoots outside the restaurant when he's with Katie - That role was played by author Jack Carr himself.

So I decided to give Terminal List a go. WHOA! Right from the jump hubby and I were frozen in place, staring at the screen, jaw at maximum droppage! We spent two nights binge watching the whole thing even though we had to stay up till 3am to finish each time. Drinker is 100% spot on. Chris Pratt has achieved harmonic convergence as the super soldier out to avenge a terrible wrong. Lots of very satisfying payback against well played bad guys. Plot twists fly around like shrapnel. Action scenes are worth a second look so thank God for technology. We hit replay a half dozen times. Jai Courtney (Jack Reacher) is pitch perfect as a heartless captain of industry and special forces wannabe. Constance Wu keeps up with the big boys as a restless reporter in pursuit of THE STORY that will nail her the fame she lusts for. Taylor Kitsch is a well rounded brother in arms willing to stroll through the gates of hell for his friend because that's what honor and loyalty require. Everyone involved in all eight episodes did an amazing job in this compelling adventure story. We loved the plot, characters, actors, photography, and score from start to finish. And although the cast is very diverse, each member is stand alone strong. Women are determined, capable, and talented but never give off even a whiff of Mary Sue crap. There are weak natured, evil bad guys but they come in all flavors so there's no White Men antipathy either. I am grateful to see that Hollywood can still turn out hero stories that inspire and excite. This show is going on my repeat list.

Three things made this one of the best series ever: 1) Pratt turns out to be a master actor, 2) the action pulls absolutely no punches, and 3) there is not the slightest trace of wokeness. I will probably watch this multiple times.

Did such a great job of making you uncertain about what really happened and what might have been due to Pratt's character's head injury.

Whenever i don't know what to watch i go to your channel . Watch something you recommend and then warch your video afterwards.. so var so good

My buddy is Pratt's double. He sometimes does fight choreography (not sure if he did for this project). But whenever he gets the chance, he throws in as much Jackie Chan style fighting as possible. Makes for fun action sequences.

This is a great series. That girl of his, with the onesie and the cape, being raised to be a real strong woman and a patriot. And then her and her mother getting killed. Shit, that broke my heart. Those flashbacks of her had me tearing up. And the rest of it, fucking awesome. I saw that interview on Tucker too, and he mentioned one of the reason why he wrote it was his disdain for the ladder climbing, desk officers who have been failing up for the last 20 years and suffered no consequences for their terrible command decisions. As a former Marine, that, I could relate to that. He makes the distinction between the line officers and the non-coms who do the real fighting and winning and the clock punchers putting in their time so they can go get on the board of a defense contractor company and keep feeding at the trough.

@@fvefve12 Wow, the woke nut cases are out today. Really, Fred? How would you think a Navy seal would raise his daughter? And she liked to pretend to be Super Girl, an spin off of Superman, who defended Truth, Justice and the American way. Yeah, real stretch. Not as much of an assumption you make about how I was raised. So, do you think patriotism and critical thinking are mutually exclusive? Tell me critical thinker. As to you critical thinking skills, how does conscription keep ladder climbers in check? You can extend you enlistment or commission, no matter if it's voluntary or not. And if I join I'm cannon fodder, but if I'm conscripted I'm not? How is a voluntary contract different than forced conscription as it relates to senior officer behavior? How does that make any fucking difference. They only have to deal with people with a contract? What does that even mean. What a jumble of nonsense.

I hated the flashbacks, it just dragged the series on and I wanted to fast forward past them as they were incredibly boring. I also couldn't stand the childish enlisted vs officer mentality story line, it is another reason I could not stand the author.

I've just finished watching this show today and I gotta say, it's way better than what the critics are saying. One of the best series in the action genre in a while IMO. I absolutely loved it all in all. It was brilliant.

Yeah Amazon is nailing these. Reacher, Jack Ryan and this are all good stuff. They have some other good stuff too even in fantasy land, like Carnival Row which doesn't shy away from strong and empowered woman but also doesn't insult man, both can be competent and resourceful in their own way. It also has that cool sort of OG Star Trek or the Witcher books take on some civilizational issues, it's nuanced. I liked it. I hope second season won't be disappointing. The fact that it's original content and not an adaptation makes it even cooler.

if by OG Star Trek you mean Strange New Worlds, then i totally agree with you; fantastic show. Also, I keep wishing Carnival Row would hurry up! (or someone would go ahead and make a proper version of Without Remorse by Tom Clacy, but that's almost exactly what Terminal List is thank goodness!)

A few years ago Pratt had a small role as the villain in a somewhat forgettable western called The Kid, with Ethan Hawke and Dane DeHaan. And man, was he terrifying. He's been pretty smart with his movie career, securing big roles as an affable, sarcastic, PG-13 action hero before he really branches out, but I have no doubt that he took that little cameo in The Kid just so he could show people his range. He absolutely nailed it in this show. Its success is important. It opens the door to the Hollywood echo chamber, waking up producers to realize that there's a massive untapped market of conservative and apolitical people out there who respect (or serve/served in) the military, don't trust higher government, keep their families together, own guns, and generally don't like being painted as society's deadliest poison. Hopefully it results in similar adaptations. We just need Amazon to notice this Ryan Drake fellow.

@@zakattk001 I actually rewatched ZDT a couple of weeks ago. He's great in it, but it's a pretty standard role for him. A couple of sarcastic lines here and there. Nothing to suggest he would someday play someone like James Reece.

This is just like with the game "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order", all elements in the game are known, existed for ages, but are now reshuffeled in a grounded (within the existing universe) fun experience that doesn't overstay its welcome. No pandering to the shareholders or SJW. Just a good experience. With "Terminal List" I had the same, it's a grounded 'real' (for the most part) story, with a plausible series of events. No wheels that need to be (re-)invented. Just a good story that as a non-american, non-veteran, but avid gamer I could understand and 'feel'. I binge-watched it and wanted more.

“Pandering to the shareholders” is usually just making a good show that will be popular and make money. Personally, I’m sick of the mentality in the entertainment industry that money shouldn’t matter and that art school indoctrinated “creatives” must be given free reign to make anything they want with no input from the people who’s money they’re using to make it. That’s how we ended up with every film pushing THE MESSAGE to begin with.

@@deriznohappehquite The concepts of "fan service" & "pandering to the shareholders" have been conflated with "SJW service" & "pandering to the loudest". Watching woke-ist dogma is tedious & nauseating. It only ever worked in the first place by casting Evil White Patriarchy (TM) as actually having control of anything (3 Days of the Condor, ignoring Robert Redford as the protagonist or the presence of anything but YT CIS), which is becoming a harder sell every day.

@@deriznohappehquite it's not as simple as that. Part of a company's ESG rating nowadays, which is one of many ratings used to advise investors on how investible a company is, is often literally just THE MESSAGE. How "diverse and inclusive" their hiring policy is for example. Granted that's not done for moral reasons, it's because woke news media and investment ratings companies are basically holding a gun to their heads. If they don't follow the message, then there is a higher likelihood that their company will be exposed to public controversy that could damage its value. But if they toe the line, and keep their ESG/D&I rating high, they can stay off the radar. In other words, shareholders often actually have an incentive to support woke companies because they're lower risk.

Best thing I have seen in age's

Chris Pratt did an amazing job. Some of the best acting I've ever seen the man achieve. Gripping, emotional, and authentic. This show had me from start to finish.

The action in this show is high quality. There is an episode where there’s a mission to some cartel base or something and the gun choreography and set pieces are really nice. Plus the actors look convincing in their roles

I love this quote from a critic who said it was bad, “The Terminal List is a classic American fantasy about the goodness of the SEALs, the corruption of high-level government officials and corporate shills, and the purifying quality of righteous violence.” This is exactly why I loved the show.

Finished watching this last night, Wow, just wow. Best thing this year.

Drinker, I highly recommend you get Jack Carr on your interview series. Carr lived the life of a character who could be in a Tom Clancy book. Carr's life experience is why his books are solid.
