Another viewer wrote: ‘This is the best TV show to come out in a while. Chris does an amazing job playing the part of a navy seals commando, taking vengeance on those who Ki**ed his team. I was on the edge of my seat the entire season. I dunno what’s up with the critics, but they are completely out of touch with the audience and reality. I watched it twice back to back. Great show.’
In addition to Pratt, the series stars Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Riley Keough, Arlo Mertz, and Jai Courtney.
The Terminal List is available on Amazon Prime Video now.
