The Terminal List: A Binge-Worthy Masterpiece with Chris Pratt

I didn't want to like "The Terminal List," but I'll admit it—I was hooked. It's one of those shows that catches you off guard. We get used to the old action movies where the grizzled dad is on a mission, but this one offers something a bit different and still hits the spot.

First, let's talk about my usual approach to TV shows. If you've listened to me before, you know I'm not your typical television fan. All that sitcom syndication stuff? Not for me. I've got a beef with shows like "Seinfeld," thanks to being burned by "Lost."

But let's get back to the task at hand—"The Terminal List" on Amazon Prime. I didn't want to like it, but by the end, I was sucked in. From the first episode, the series grabs you, and by the second and third episodes, you're locked in, riding through until the end with the thrilling action and solid writing. I enjoyed every bit of it.

Now, it's not just Chris Pratt pulling me in—though let's be real, the guy's certainly part of the appeal. Taylor Kitsch, if I botched his name, forgive me. He's the guy from "John Carter." Remember that underrated gem? Both of these actors deliver knockout performances. It's action from start to finish, and it does not disappoint.

In my usual scrolling through TikTok, I stumbled upon a mention of a second season, which naturally piqued my interest. Back to the first season I went, and after revisiting, there's no way I'm missing what's next. You can catch this on Amazon Prime, and before you question it, just do it. You won't regret it.

Let's hash out some numbers. Rotten Tomatoes hit it with a 40%, but come on, do they even count? I question them all the time. On the flip side, IMDB gave it a 7.9 out of 10, which aligns more with reality. Even Google users are vibing with an 85% approval. It's one season, eight episodes of jam-packed action, with more to come.

This series stems from Jack Carr's writing, who crafted a tight and thrilling narrative. Here's a quick synopsis to tantalize you: James Reese comes home after a Navy SEAL operation goes haywire, uncovering dark forces against him and his loved ones—it's vague, but intriguing, right? Google, you could give us more, but for now, this gives us plenty.

Now, a big heads up—this show isn't going to be my re-watch classic, but it'll be etched in my memory as a great series to endorse. As a father, observing Chris Pratt's James Reese heavy on precision and cold, calculated action, I resonate with his choices for family and justice.

So, here it is: "The Terminal List." Watch it. Love it. And get ready for the next season. This has been your Angry Dad, signing off. Remember, the action isn't just on-screen; it's a way of life. Grab your snacks, hunker down, and when the second season rolls around, make sure you're ready.
