The Terminal List is an American action thriller streaming television series starring Chris Pratt based on the novel of the same name by Jack Carr. It was released on Amazon Prime Video on July 1, 2022.
The series follows Lieutenant Commander James Reece (Chris Pratt) after his platoon of Navy SEALs are ambushed while on a covert mission. Reece returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. 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.
Chris Pratt’s hands have been full lately. The actor is fresh off the release of Jurassic World Dominion and is now preparing for the release of Thor: Love and Thunder. While it isn’t his film quintessentially, fans are looking forward to watching him reprise his Guardians of the Galaxy role. In between these two releases, Pratt slipped in on the small screen with the Amazon Prime Video series The Terminal List and it isn’t one of his best works.
In The Terminal List, Pratt essays the role of James Reece, a Navy SEAL who is the lone survivor of a failed mission. Struggling to come to terms with the ambush on the mission, he returns home and finds out that one of his close associates has died in a strange condition. Just as he gets entangled in his mysterious death, another jolt hits him and he loses his family. It is then he unravels a bigger conspiracy in the making.
Fortunately for Reece, he has support from journalist Katie Buranek (Constance Wu) who is trying to help him with his journey. The Terminal List is based on the book of the same name by Jack Carr. Although I have not read the book yet, on paper The Terminal List comes across as an interesting read. Reece and his best friend (played by Taylor Kitsch) show the aftermath of war and the horrors that loom over their heads on a lonely Saturday night, giving viewers a glimpse at how traumatic lives get post-war.
