  • Amazon Prime's new drama action series "The Terminal List" is facing backlash. The show stars Chris Pratt as a Navy SEAL who returns home after his platoon is ambushed to face even more danger. Some critics have slammed the series, saying it "panders to male red-state viewers with routine references to beer, guns, country music, and hunting." Former Navy SEAL and author of the book series, Jack Carr, says it is not true.

    As if critics know how to criticize a movie anymore they're all about politics and it gets tiring to hear about them. You go by the audience score not the critics score because at least the audience score is more reliable then a bias critics score. Anyway the terminal list is the best I highly recommend this series to anybody who has Amazon Prime.

    I read all the negative reviews on RT after watching this. A whole 2 of like 30 negative reviews mention “too much darkness for these times” and “self righteousness”. Not at all what I was expecting based on this video and these comments. Most of the negative reviews give the reasoning as “done before/predictable”, “could’ve been a lot shorter” and “not great acting”. These criticisms have NOTHING to do with politics.
    I mean, I’m still gonna watch it because I already have Prime, but It’s obvious that the media like this is trying harder and harder each day to divide Americans instead of bring us together.

    I think they forget not all Americans live in California and New York LoL. Most of us love our shows & movies with guns, beer, and music (maybe not new country music).

    Show was good. Book was better. I read the book after watching the show. But there's a lot that got left out of the book. Audio books have became my new favorite thing.

    I don't think it was right or left, but it was a revenge fantasy, which isn't a negative description.
