#The terminal list series#

Turns out he is right and the US Gov't has an agenda and are against Reece, who's a decorated and respected soldier.As we get ready for the much anticipated long weekend, to light up the barbecue and fireworks celebrating all things red, white, and blue, there couldn’t be a better time for the premiere of “The Terminal List.” The jingoistic Amazon Original Series takes you down a tunnel of American government conspiracy theories. The only who who believes him is his buddy (Kitsch). They keep telling him he's wrong and the trauma is why he's not remembering but it's much deeper than that. 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. James Reece (Pratt) is a commander of a Navy Seals platoon that's wiped out except for him and his buddy.

You don't get that kind of star power (especially Pratt) for a tv show unless you have a good show on your hands. 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. The Terminal List is an action packed thriller that will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire series. 'The Terminal List' is an example of talented people in front and behind the camera, working on a project they care about and are invested in. The cinematography, action sequences, the music also nicely round off the whole deal. Taylor Kitsch, Constance Wu, JD Pardo, Riley Keough, Jane Tripplehorn, Jay Courtney are all good in their respective roles, as are others not mentioned here. Chris Pratt is no doubt a standout here but by no means the only one.

Of special mention is the pilot/ first episode, directed by Antoine Fuqua himself, who puts on a clinic on how to properly start a show and set the tone. It speaks to the effectiveness of the series, that it draws those like myself, who have not read the source material, to this world and characters. I am aware that it is based on the books by James Carr (I'm assuming this series will get more seasons), which I have not read. In addition, perhaps most importantly, this a very solid, well made, cast, acted, written and directed series. I am sick and tired of these series that are only six to eight episodes, where individual episodes sometimes a have a forty minutes or less runtime.looking at you Disney Plus! Besides, this is actually a positive, because it allows the show to breathe, the story to unfold properly and the characters to actually develop in a meaningful way. The series is eight episodes long.and you actually get your money's worth. Some may point to perhaps the overly long run of the episodes. Which is also what makes for such compelling viewing.

But that is part and parcel of the story and the different paths the characters have to undertake. The show is not necessarily an easy watch and is at times grim and darkly-themed.

'The Terminal List' is an edge of your seat mystery-spy-action-thriller with a healthy dose of revenge seeking thrown in there, one that while not necessarily breaking any new ground (there are other similarly-themed series and movies of varying levels of quality) still manages to feel fresh and put it's own spin on the genre. No empty virtue signalling or moral grand-standing here. The themes and ideas of this show are woven into the storyline and plot points as well as the journey of the characters.

It is a series that is unabashedly entertaining, interesting and a pleasure to watch start to finish. A show which doesn't preach, insult or attack it's audiences or tries to force-feed a specific message of anykind. Shows like this one are far and few between these days. This is the type of entertainment that used to get made on a fairly regular basis yesteryear.
