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.
Though the complicated particulars of the conspiracy are fairly clever and original, if also improbable, the basic mechanics of the plot remain simple and straightforward and easy to follow: Set ‘em up and knock ‘em down. Not a show for everyone, and not what one would ever call “fun,” but it may just be your cup of tea, with a dash of strychnine.

The series is excellent, delivering great action without bringing ideologies as the focus of the narrative.

I was not expecting to enjoy watching Chris Pratt be gaslight by everyone around him, but here we are. Good twists, good acting, and great action. Really enjoyed this one.

[Chris Pratt is] miscast in this occasionally thrilling and well-paced but ultimately predictable, formulaic and cliché-riddled series. In a role that calls for an actor to demonstrate a wide range of the deepest possible human emotions, Pratt comes across as slightly stiff and not fully immersed in the character.
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.
It sounds like a fun, brutal read, but it’s stretched into a monotonous slog in TV form.
The Terminal List‘s plot defies logic, if you stop to think about it for even a minute, but it confidently shoves its way past any such concerns. It’s utterly humorless, too, punctuated by crude bursts of graphic violence. ... The cast is talented, to be sure, but they’re just going through the motions here.
At eight hours for a book that easily could have been adapted in two hours, it’s been left on the grill for so long that the result is dry and tasteless. It’s the entertainment equivalent of a charred hockey puck, with the same limited range of flavor and aesthetics.
This show is one of the best thrillers of the 21st century. It has compelling character development, great twists and does a chillingly powerful job of reflecting the protagonist's journey through the mood of its scenery. There's also a lot of thoughtful applicability here with subjects such as a soldiers, citizens, or corporations relationships to each other and the state, but with little to none of the heavy hand of allegory so common in modern productions. It's an all around enjoyable series.

Middling series. Will appeal to those with conspiracy, revenge, and military fantasies. Action was good, but between the action some scenes played out as cringey macho tough guy tropes. Main character has plot armor and is a superhuman one man army. Enjoyable but by no means groundbreaking.
Report
Just a fairly average show that hits enough of the right notes to be watchable. Seems like both the critics and audience are exaggerating how good or bad they think this is. Everything has to be viewed through the lens of "woke vs anti-woke" nowadays and people are losing any sense of nuance because of this perceived culture war. This show had an interesting premise and there are definitely many entertaining scenes, but the story and dialogue felt overly long and dragged out. This easily could've been a much tighter 4 part mini-series. Reacher was a much better show if you want a solid revenge tale.
Report
The premise: take everything that makes Chris Pratt beloved, remove it from Chris Pratt, and give him a bag of pompous tropes and a headache.
The result: The Terminal List
The dumb writing makes everyone in the show dumb and makes you dumber for watching it. What a wasted opportunity. Oh: the whole thing is about nootropic drugs, and they mispronounce "nootropics" every time they say it.
Report
Don’t understand all the perfect scores. Perhaps the reviews are paid. Characters are such caricatures and Pratts acting is a poor fit for the role. Amazon did much better with Jack Ryan, just watch the first few episodes and you’ll see. The deeper you get into the show the more stereotypical it gets.
