The Terminal List follows James Reece after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. Reece returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. However, as new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him, endangering not only his life but the lives of those he loves.
I found the show a bit too dark, but figured it was a choice - to make it look as dark as the story.

It wasn't too dark for me and no one else has mentioned it, strange.

Another season? He finished the list. He's gonna make another list? I'll take another 6 seasons of Eureka any day before another season of this kind of vigilante vengeance, he'd just turn into that Gerard Butler character from Law Abiding Citizen, so, no, no thank you, lolz.
I'm at episode 4 and it's wild. It honestly feels like Amazon has bigger balls when it comes to making content. Just like the Boys, they don't hold back.

I don't care if this is a spoiler, but why did they have so many scenes with that damn bird, over and over and over and over and over....gahhhhhh, also, the cinematography wasn't great, felt very point and shoot, nothing interesting happened with the camera, and some episodes had a lot of stretched scenes that dragged on and could've been cut tighter.
Yeah, I waited for a big reveal regarding that bird scene, but it never happened. :cool:
I don't agree with the rest of your criticism, I liked the show and didn't miss creative camera work, the cast made it work for me!
The ending doesn't really scream for another season, but other shows showed that it's possible, so let's see... :)
After just watching near perfect TV like Succession and Barry and Severance, this just doesn't stack up, but I did say that I love this show, which is way higher praise than just liking it, lolz. ;)

Oh man, so good, love this show, took me a few attempts, but did anyone else see Billy Riggins, I did, it was so good to see both Riggins brothers again, even if they didn't have any scenes together, lolz, I miss those... :lol:
@g371 I totally agree with you, Andy will forever be Andy to me as well; there were so many scenes in The Terminal List where Chris Pratt really made a hard swing into being Chris Pratt/Starlord/Andy and then jumped back into character which completely took me out of it. The super serious character is way outside Chris' wheelhouse, and while effortful, it was a decent enough attempt, kinda like John Krasinski in Jack Ryan, my internal monologue goes "ya, now do something funny please". I see Chris' face, and I start laughing out of instinct. Exhibit A.
Love the camaraderie between Chris and Taylor though.
I think Taylor Kitsch kinda phoned it in, but he's Tim Riggins, and was perfectly cast in this, you know, the mysterious CIA type, he's born for this role.

I cannot treat that guy seriously, for me he is forever stuck in Parks & Recreation
I enjoyed this show. Was entertaining without shoving a whole lot of leftist and woke nonsense (as with most shows these days) down my throat. It was a breath of fresh air for once. All I ask is to be entertained and this did just that.

Yeah, there's so much potential:
- make a new list
- join forces with https://next-episode.net/the-old-man and make season 2 The Old Man's Terminal List
- join forces and give https://next-episode.net/marvels-the-punisher its much-deserved next season, let's say as The Punisher: Terminal
- join forces with https://next-episode.net/deep-state for some deep cleaning - Terminal Deep State
- as we recently learned, a few https://next-episode.net/the-boys characters could probably use their own spin-off: The Boys - Terminal
The opportunities are endless! :D
