TV: The Terminal List (Amazon Prime)

[Rabid Ranger]

Didn't see a thread for this series. Brutal, unrelenting revenge tale. Not normally a big Chris Pratt fan but I think he did well here. Suspension of disbelief is needed but overall solid entertainment. 7/10.

I'm curious to see this board's opinion of Chris Pratt in this show so I'll know if it's worth my time. I can't take him seriously in dramatic roles and think his wheelhouse falls squarely in the goofball action hero (like Starlord). To be fair though I also didn't think I could take Alan Ritchson seriously and absolutely loved him in Reacher, so I'll try to keep an open mind for this one

He played it straight in this series. He was a bitter, unremorseful killing machine. He was good in my opinion.

I enjoyed it, gave it a 7/10 rating. This got trashed by critics but people seems to like it a great deal. A no-nonsense, thriller/action-series. Just like Reacher its just entertaining.

I'm 2 episodes in and I feel like I have seen this before. No new ground is being broken here.

What separates us from neanderthals is we put the trailer in the OP when starting a thread

I agree. I am 4 episodes in and it’s pretty much an all out revenge tale.

I'm not even sure if what we are seeing is even happening. It feels very Manchurian Candidate, Dallas "Dream" season Pam waking up to Bobby in the shower to me.

Reacher is a perfectly good comparison. Same type of show in a lot of regards and they took on more serious roles, but Pratt has crushed it on this series and might be my favorite performance by him.

Binged this this weekend and I'd say it was okay. Not great, not terrible. A very Punisher like revenge tale. I thought Pratt was decent in a serious role. Taylor Kitsch I always enjoy, but Friday Night Lights is one of my favorite shows ever so I pretty much like anything those actors do. Shout out to the actor who played Billy Riggins playing a small role in this. It was kind if fun seeing both of the Riggins boys in the same show again.

Just watched this over the weekend and I really enjoyed it.

Nice to have an action/military series/movie that doesn't have any politics in it.

It is what it is, action/violence/revenge.
