The Terminal List poster

The Terminal List is a propulsive, big-budget Amazon action-thriller that follows a Navy SEAL commander (Chris Pratt) who survives the massacre of his platoon and uncovers a government conspiracy as he pursues revenge. Tone is grim, earnest, and unironic — this is meat-and-potatoes genre entertainment executed at cinematic scale, with strong ensemble casting, credible military texture, and action sequences that reviewers describe as genuinely spectacular. Its audience skews toward fans of no-nonsense thriller storytelling who feel underserved by prestige TV's tendency toward message-heavy drama. The show rewards binge-watching and delivers satisfying revenge-arc catharsis without apology.

From the reviewers

Chris Pratt was terrific as the lead. He proved that he can do more than comedy and action with this dramatic performance and how he continues to grow as an actor.
A show which doesn't preach, insult or attack it's audiences or tries to force-feed a specific message of anykind. It is a series that is unabashedly entertaining, interesting and a pleasure to watch start to finish.
"The Terminal List" is an edge of your seat mystery-spy-action-thriller with a healthy dose of revenge seeking thrown in there, one that while not necessarily breaking any new ground still manages to feel fresh and put it's own spin on the genre.
It allows the show to breathe, the story to unfold properly and the characters to actually develop in a meaningful way.
Of special mention is the pilot/first episode, directed by Antoine Fuqua himself, who puts on a clinic on how to properly start a show and set the tone.
