The Terminal List. Amazon

I couldn’t find a link about this new series starring Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch. When a special forces op goes wrong, culminating in the deaths of most of the squad, the leader(Pratt) tries to find out why but soon discovers things aren’t what they seem. 7/10

I've watched three episodes of this. It's not the first of its ilk and probably won't be the last. While these productions certainly ham it up, the USA does have a significant non-government military industry which is probably provides a fertile hunting ground for writers for ideas on which to build their storylines.

So I'm slightly perplexed at critics reviews calling it a right wing revenge fantasy. Yeah there's military, guns, wrap around sunglasses and so on, as there would be in such a story, but if you're against the gist of the story - little guy who is caught up in some sinister thing effected by shadowy organisations and gets justice for those wronged - then you must support the "baddies"....

I'm on episode 6 and really enjoying it - sure, it's a little far fetched in places but overall it's kept my attention.

Better than a lot of terrestrial UK drama's of late.

I'm only on episode 3 and still not 100% invested in it

Current thought is that his brain 'tumour' might be some sort of implant and it gets a bit Jason Bourney (IIRC one of the shadowy organisations has a brainy/bellum type name?)

I just finished episode 4 and that bit's sort of explained. So stick with it...!

enjoyed it - a couple of unexpected twists but not too bad. The thing that started irritating was the flashbacks/visions (though, obviously, in context understandable)

I really enjoyed this show, it's ridiculous of course but there are some great fight and action scenes. I also thought Chris Pratt was great in the lead role... Surprised it has received such a critical panning, but looking at the IMDB user reviews it seems to be one of those cases where the critics hate it and the people love it. As a previous poster has mentioned i'd imagine it's more to do with the right wing nature of the source novel and thus the perceived message of the show - If you watch it as an old fashioned piece of action revenge fluff then there's plenty to enjoy.

Just finished this. I enjoyed it.

Surprised this thread never got much attention. I thought the Terminal List was amazing. Best TV series I had seen in a long time.

Anyway the prequel series is out next month. Dark Wolf. Focuses more on Taylor Kitsch's character. Trailer here:
