The show was phenomenal. The story started slow but got so fast that I couldn't pull myself away. We knew he'd go vigilante and win but there was a twist at every turn. I loved it.
This and reacher are two bright spots for tv this year! Keep them coming!
The terminal list was perfectly paced, wonderfully acted with just the right amount of tension broken by infrequent but important humor, mostly in the form of memories. But it was totally dripping and Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch were magnificent.
Jack Carr is an excellent man. Big thanks for having him on your show.
Hey She-Hulk writers, take notes. This is how to write and respect the source material.
FR.
I know that i am way late, but i must say you didn't read the book when you said that they respected source material. I watched the show first and read the book second and differences are huge, But thankfuly the changes didn't ruined the show like that other Amazon forest Fire of the show that i don't even want to name. I had to say this and i am sorry if it was hostile.
@@sonofrivadin3684 Respecting the source material vs copying and pasting are two different things. Even the best film adaptations almost never follow the books word for word, and you know it. There are a lot of reasons why film companies just cannot do that. A lot of the time it is impossible, given the situation. Like changing a location from the book because it would just be too difficult to film there in real life as an example. Nice try though.
Great video!
Really liked it.
This is what sets Klavan apart from the others in Daily Wire!
All in TDW are GREAT though...
I wish I could watch these guy share a whiskey. I could listen to them talk for hours.
The only issue I have with the novel to video adaptations is that there were significant changes to the character development and their backstories. For example, Katie Buranek's story of how she's related to Reese's story is important. Terminal List introduced Freddie Strange who plays a huge role in True Believer. The biggest miss isn't much introduction to Raif Hastings in the end of Amazon's Terminal List (that I can remember), but his introduction is key to developing the plot of True Believer.
Jack Carr did a fantastic job in his books with building an epic story of James Reese where the supporting characters and antagonists are intertwined across several novels and several different Reese generations. The Amazon version changed much of that, but Jack was involved so I trust he has a plan if Amazon greenlights any additional seasons.
I'm not an author so I have to trust Jack as the creator of the novels, and a producer of the videos. I just suggest that anyone that watched the shows first go back and read the novels. You'll understand a lot more of Reese's story.
The show was great. I really enjoyed it. I quickly got caught up in second guessing everything, once I realized that James was no longer a trustworthy narrator. A fun, emotional ride. Thank you, Jack Carr. Big fan.
Parts of the story really showed the principle of "If you go to seek vengeance, dig two graves". It was very well done.
Wow, I can't believe this video has only a few views. It should have one million views.
Best show in years!
Great show. Gotta read the books now.
I was hoping for this meeting the moment I finished the Terminal List!
Also, loved your cameo in the show, Jack :)
Loved the book, loved the series.
All the changes the show made from the book were improvements. Carr even says here in the interview that he had a sticky note that said "revenge" on his laptop as he was writing; but the book read like HIS revenge, not Reece's. He obviously had an axe to grind with NCIS and the Clintons, but he saved the most gruesome death for the JAG officer who just acted as a go-between while the sicarios who actually pulled the trigger on his wife and daughter got off with a bullet to the head. I'm also glad they changed Ben Edwards from a cavalier traitor to a reluctant one and cut out that bit with Katy being held hostage with the det-cord around her neck. That scene in the book didn't feel earned.
They made a terrible mistake casting Constance Wu as Katy. That is Reece's love interest in the books and there was zero chemistry with those two in the series. The funny thing is I feel that might have been a sticking point with Jack Carr because he rarely talks about Constance in all of the podcasts and appearances he has done. I think he mentioned her two times in passing and it is a major character in the books.
@@wordragon I hadn't got to the point in the books where Katy is Reece's love interest; so thanks for the spoiler, dick. You should change your username to Spoily McSpoilerton from Spoilerburg.
Gina Carano for season 2 MAKE IT HAPPEN
Jack is definitely a wholesome guy. I recently discovered his work after some posts about the newest book (Red Sky Mourning) from Jocko Willink & Leif Babin, both navy seals.
The show was excellent and I’m excited to read through the whole series.
@Andrew Klavan, you need monitors for the live chat to throw off the immature idiots who only got on to chat up each other and make silly and inane comments and oftentimes crude and improper posts.
I think I will read the book first and then watch the show!
Thank you for a great show, God Bless you Mr. A. Klavan and Mr. J. CARR
God Bless All
Tell him to cast Gina Carano for season 2 ASAPPPPP
I will have to get the book, I guess. Hey, if you're in Park City; if you see my cousin, tell her I said hello.
I've bought these books for soo many people. Big fan, can't wait for the next season. KLAVAN! Another kindom movie, hurry up.
Love his giving a nod to David Morrel. His book Lessons From A Lifetime Of Writing is SUCH an excellent guide to storytelling, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to write.👍
Carr does a 4 hour long podcast with Morell and there is some really interesting information and perspective in it.
The lack of continuity, innumerable loose ends and requirement for lengthy suspension of disbelief in the television series were exhausting.
But finally, a woman antagonist.
Great interview
I liked the book much better. I reread it after watching the show.
Good episode fixing to like it but I got to go to work so I can't finish it peace
Great show!
I watched all 8 episodes and even though the main character became essentially a terrorist by pursuing his sense of justice, I understand that this is about a warrior spirit and in that way, it is beautiful. This is what I imagined from the song "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth. "Now you're dealin' with a... SON OF A BITCH!!!" Meaning the bad guys didn't count on someone who trains to become the most lethal warrior would ever use his skill to go on a rampage against them.
I wouldn’t call him a terrorist, a terrorist usually targets civilians and go for mass casualties.
Reece only attacked people he viewed as responsible for the crap that had happened to him and his associates.
Super!
I really enjoyed it and some of the actors were pretty good. I especially liked Pratt and Kitsch. I had the good fortune to work with some of these kinds of operators during my tours in Iraq and Somalia as a Medical Officer. This show would never make critics happy but certainly entertains those of us who served and believe in something higher than one's self. Good job.
Thank you for your service. I don't think the critics understand the warrior mentality. This is what I imagined from the song "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth. "Now you're dealin' with a... SON OF A BITCH!!!" Meaning the bad guys didn't count on someone who trains to become the most lethal warrior would ever use his skill to go on a rampage against them.
Bought and read the novel. Turns out I was in AFG at the location the novel starts with.
The show falls far short of the book. Highly recommend the book over the show.
Totally agree. Especially the ending.
@@graymcneill4564 And what tf did the reporter's story add to the show?
@@Slayerformayor1983 It also had to do with how and when he kill the other people then. What happened to the reporter carries on in later books.
@@graymcneill4564 -My issue is that they minimized Katy's part in the show and that might be because they ended up race swapping and changing that character's back story probably for the diversity quotas Hollywood has imposed on everything. Carr is never going to reveal it, but he rarely talks about the actress Wu compared to all the other actors and actresses. I almost wonder if he resented her casting. If you know her story in the rest of the books, then you know Constance Wu was a bad casting choice for the Katy character because she has zero chemistry with Pratt and plays Katy differently than in the book.
@@wordragon After rereading that book and the next book I agree with that. Actually I have them on Audible. Sad what’s happening to the entertainment industry.
Aside from seeing the twist coming after the first episode, I very much enjoyed the show. My only gripe was that it much too dark(not content-wise, but concerning the actual lighting). Unless you're in a basement with no lights or windows, you're going to have a hard time following the action.
Andrew tell him to cast Gina Carano (after she losses some weight) in season 2 ...she's amazing in action movies and somebody need to give her another chance to apear on something big.
In what role?
Started watching this series because of klavan. I did not expect good things from Amazon. Total waste of time. Andrew not a good review.
What didn't you like about the show? Did you read the book?
@@wordragon I did not like a thing about it.
Such as? What did you not like, give us examples please.
@@teutonicknight9041 bad story line, bad acting, disjointed plot progression
@@whousa642 -The series has portrayals of flashbacks that are fragmented memories and scenes that seek to show Reece's psychological trauma in a surrealist manner. I could see how someone unfamiliar with that type of narrative style could conflate it with disjointed plot progression, but that wouldn't hold up under closer scrutiny.
I would like to know who you think is the bad actor/actress in the series? With all the garbage out there these days, it is interesting you would find the acting in this series "bad", as in being way below in quality a middle tier production.
I see some Gina Carano comments,and yes she will fit perfectly in this series
Read the book and now addicted to the series. Loved the show!! Thank you, Jack Carr!!
