Season 1 Review:
It keeps the tempo up enough to stay entertaining from the first shot to the last. It feels more like a traditional episodic TV show than movie star-led shows usually do (and Jack Carr has plenty of other James Reece books if Amazon wants to keep the show going). It's popcorn entertainment with a sheen of seriousness.

Season 1 Review:
The Terminal List is not some disaster, nor is it unwatchable. In fact, it'll likely garner a huge following and become a hit for the streamer, but a film might have been the more beneficial route to take, especially for Pratt's performance and the overall story. ... But at the end of the day, a story this simple shouldn't be this damn long.

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
The Terminal List aspires to be a thinking person’s thriller, but it’s neither too thinky nor too thrilling. But damn if it doesn’t feel a bit invigorating at times to go down the dark hallways of this world of people of action, and think, yeah, this motherfucker is ours.

Season 1 Review:
There are far too many moments during “The Terminal List” when you feel like you’re watching boys playing soldier, or violence inspired by videogames. At the same time, the story—based on the book by Jack Carr and adapted by David DiGilio—has adequate forward momentum, despite its very obvious effort to march a viewer through a gantlet of 21st-century villainy.

Season 1 Review:
[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.

Season 1 Review:
This eight-part Amazon Prime Video miniseries blasts its way through drab and ridiculous conventions with humorless, extreme prejudice. It somehow manages to generate bingeable suspense, though, and even a hint that its well-worn twists have something to say about how power is abused these days.

Season 1 Review:
Those with an appetite for the Jacks (Reacher and Ryan) will find something to enjoy in the violent infallibility of Reece. There is plenty of skull cracking and head shots. But the plot, in so much as there is one, will make about as much sense to viewers as it does to the heavily concussed Reece.

Season 1 Review:
Chris Pratt tamps down his natural humor to play a Navy SEAL trapped in a deadly government conspiracy. Not bad as flag-waving Dad TV, this slick, souped-up military revenge thriller comes off as a suspenseful two-hour movie trapped in eight hours of streaming series bloa

Season 1 Review:
Amazon has flexed its muscles with military-style action series (see "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" and "Reacher"), but The Terminal List adds a numbingly simple-minded revenge saga to that subgenre. Despite the promotional benefits of featuring star-producer Chris Pratt as a grittier kind of avenger, this brutal eight-episode slog squanders its talent in front of and behind the camera.

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
Pratt’s serious acting still does not have much depth to it, and he does no service to that with his performance in this openly deranged show. ... “The Terminal List” is gratuitous with a dead-serious face, one that is introduced as being unstable before its accompanying body is then treated like our instrument of truth. Released just in time for the Fourth of July, “The Terminal List” is jingoism at its finest, and absolute worst.

Season 1 Review:
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.
