- Critics and audiences have been divided over The Terminal List, starring Chris Pratt, Jai Courtney and Taylor Kitsch, but I'm here to settle the score and tell it like it is.

38% 'critics' rating and 94% audience rating - sounds like a must-watch show
Sounds like the opposite of the Star Wars “sequels”
Audience scores for thor love and thunder and jurrassic world dominion were over 70-80%.....
Critics gave the northman a high review score and the audience, a low one....
0 wokeness, A+ movie.
Scores don't mean shit.
The Terminal List is a generic ass story.. been done a hundred million times...
Mate I saw the show and is BORING. I don't get the Hype. I hate woke Hollywood, but this series is weak IMO
I usually wait for a critic score of below 30. But I'll give it a shot.
@@Kevin-zz9du people expected something different when they watched Northman. I loved it though.
The fact this has a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes really shows how ‘professional’ critics haven’t mattered in decades
@The Ring of power. 🤓
What are with these bots lmao
I didn't even notice. I mean it even has a totally unbelievable strong woman who don't need no man.
Roger Ebert should've laid off the fatty foods..
I'm kinda mixed in this series. It's not bad, I think it could've worked a lot more if it's just a 2 hour movie
I love how a dedicated soldier avenging his family and fallen brothers-in-arms gets called a "right-wing revenge fantasy" but a former hitman avenging his dog is totally fine.
I enjoy both the Terminal List and John Wick but if that isn't some flawed logic, I don't know what is.
If Top Gun Maverick starred anyone else besides Cruise they would have called it right wing revenge fantasy to. Crazy times
spot on
Well said
Cause one was Chris Pratt the other was Keanu Reaves
You certainly don't know what flawed logic is
If professional critics hate it you know it's good.
I started using that as a barometer for whether I should consider watching a show about 8 years ago and it's never steered me wrong yet.
Drinkers line when he says, "People masquerading as film critics must hate this because it represents everything they have tried to purge from modern entertainment, strong, capable good men who stand as Nobel protecters for their family." So true Drinker!!! Well said!
Now imagine same script,same every line of dialogue and just swap Chris Pratt with,let's say Charlize Theron,and see if he'd still like the movie so much.
Now,this movie could be great and fun,I haven't watched it. Just point out the style of reviews that you get on this channel.
@@thevrana Chis Pratt makes the story believable, Charlize Theron wouldn't. Appears you just want the current "woke" message in flick. Go watch 'Atomic Blonde.' It's just what you deserve.
@@frankmueller2781 And that is the fucking problem. None of them make the story believable,because in both cases is one guy vs the army. But you choose to believe in one,and find the other unbelievable. Ask yourself why? Is it really the "woke" message, or is it just you.
Noble. NOBLE. Jesus, read a dictionary.
@@thevrana Of course it won't work if you keep the same script and dialogue and just swap the gender. How many women are there that are on the ground doing special ops in real life? Now a military thriller with a female lead could work, get rid of the woke writing and and you might have a better chance to do so, and I'm sure The Drinker would say the same.
I kept waiting for that "hero" moment when the main character realized revenge wasn't worth it. I am happy to say James Reese just powered through that and just kept laying people out. Very satisfying.
Revenge has been something Hollywood's badmouthed for decades. Not becasue they have the "emotional maturity" to look past things, or really think that its self destructive, but becasue the people who write for Hollywood are too weak and fearful to take revenge when they should. They'd rather slink away, avoid confrontation, and think they're "sophisticated adults" for doing so.
That said, I'm obviously talking about normal situations, not stuff that usually doesnt happen in real life, like in the Terminal List
@@pete3011 I heard it put best by I think it's Prager. The West didn't learn to fight Evil, they learned fighting was evil, and that describes so much of what we're enduring today.
When you dead either way only living is a punishment. Great Show and agree very satisfying to say the least.
He went a bit overboard for my tastes, everyone even slightly involved, down to the cleaner working for the corpo gets killed. Basically 95% of the cast in the show is dead by the end and around the 2nd to last episode I thought it should have run its course. Particularly the last 2 targets on the list. Apart from that I enjoyed it though.
Read the books it’s a million times better
Each episode just kept getting better. Chris Pratt surprised me in this. Also can we just talk about the line from episode 6 about pushing a man to violence who’s spent his entire life perfecting it? Fucking goosebumps.
Episode 6: That's when they pretended infra red cameras couldn't tell the difference between batteries and a person... And "trackers" hadn't seen or heard of a drone...
That line hit hard. It’s shows like this that are done well and you can see it all the way through.
🤣 so hard
best line of whole series
@@stonehengemaca bro just chilll
I just finished watching this show, definitely, a must watch, didn't even know Chris Pratt was this good of an actor
Many actors who blow up in comedy shows have this problem, people cant imagine them playing in real movies, comedy seems easy. John Krasinski (Jim from The Office) as Jack Ryan was also surprisingly good.
@@tomas.bednar when in fact comedy is a lot harder. Ask around to professional actors or listen to Rob Lowe’s podcasts and you’ll see.
same like robin williams who playing a bad guy in insomnia film
@@Nugtroen that performance gave me the creeps. He was excellent.
This series was surprisingly excellent. Chris Pratt was really good and he also produced it.
Awesome to hear. I’ll check it out when I have the time
Good to know. I normally don't watch TV anymore but watched the first episode of this last night. Looking forward to the rest.
Frankly I did not find it so good, but maybe because it was too much of "Deja Vu" I mean every themes aborded in the series have had multiple movies about already and now they make a serie with all of it in
Where can I watch this movie? I'm asking for everyone else who also don't have amazon prime
Good series
If the Drinker says it good while the activists…I mean critics…say it’s bad, then it’s worth the watch
That's uhhh. That's literally the other side of the same coin lmao. Reviews are supposed to help you come to your own conclusion, not make your opinion for you lol.
@@Sanjiluv from experience everytime activists.. Reviewers hate it, it means it's good
Yeah. I need to watch jaws though, still havent seen the og movie.
Yeah I hear the Supreme Court is going to ban it.
if you like tom Clancy books and movies this series will be right up your alley
Those first two episodes did have me genuinely confused if Reece was actually just bonkers and that he killed his own family. I’m thinking like “no! There’s no way they’re gonna subvert my expectations like this! I CAN ALREADY TELL WHO THE BIG BADDIE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WTH” and then episode 3 came along and I realized that I wasn’t crazy and life was good once again
I wished it leaned more into that but there were only 8 episodes
I think they missed the boat on that one.
Me too man
I see where you guys are coming from, but tbh it was getting slightly old with the third episode so I think they did it right
@@monsterpda I'm glad you discussed this, because I didn't make it to episode 3 because of this. I'll go on now.
To be fair, Chris Pratt was one of the Navy SEALs in Zero Dark Thirty. Although his role was small, he definitely did it really well and felt authentic. So although that's hardly what he became known for, I could definitely see him in something like this and it didn't disappoint!
Chris Pratt doing that movie actually got him this role, while he was doing research for ZDT one of his SEAL escorts and him got talking and hit it off. Later that SEAL met Jack Carr and asked if he could get some early copies of The Terminal List for him and a friend (Chris Pratt) that SEAL was the Actor Playing Boozer.
I love how "THE MESSAGE" is now a common phrase. People are starting to turn around in the masses and shove identity politics in TV shows back into the gutter. I want TV shows and movies to be entertaining without BLATANT politicisation of their content. I'm so glad I'm seeing classical movies and TV shows again. And ya know what? IT FEELS GOOD.
Well, this guy loves to complain about silly or harmful messages in media, which I agree with, but what I don’t get is why he complains about messages that actually make sense and are good.
Everyone is sick and fed up of "THE MESSAGE" movies and series . I used to be hardcore collector of films, I used to watch a movie or a show every single night of the week and a few (sometimes more) were really good and I'd add them to my collection when they came out. Now I can honestly say I'm lucky if I enjoy a handful of movies per year. I don't even feel the same excitement or buzz I used to feel when a movie came out. I don't know anyone in real life who actually enjoys THE MESSAGE movies/series most people unfortunately watch them because they have little choice, they come home from work or get a hour when the kids go to bed and they just watch whatever's on. I did love the black phone which I saw a few days ago though and I'm enjoying Better Call Saul
@@maxthexpfarmer3957 Lots of political commentators are doing that now. I think its for the money. Why just troll right wingers when you can troll the left too. Then sit in the middle and pat yourself on the back about your god like "objectivity". Smile when the cash rolls in. Its a great con.
Or ya know...
*LET IT BE JUST PURE FUN.*
@@maxthexpfarmer3957 "I don’t get is why he complains about messages that actually make sense and are good."
if those messages had merit they would've been welcomed with open arms, outright dismissing people at the sight of criticism (regardless of quality of criticism) and calling them evil bigots gets a justified push-back which further throws shade at what little merit the myriad of convoluted wannabee try-hard messages had anyway

@@Hiraghm I've heard it called that.
@@Hiraghm He references a (generic, probably made-up) stripper named "Tatiana" regularly in his critiques, as part of the Critical Drinker persona. She is part of the comic relief.
The sequence where he’s trying to evade the authorities in the wild was amazing
That episode felt like an homage to Rambo 1.
@@bffoxjr you too huh? That was my thought from the 1st viewing. ESPECIALLY the night scene when he's cauterizing the wound on his arm, listening to the FBI radio traffic, and his exchange with the agent.
Serious "First Blood" vibes. Loved it.
I was too distracted by the hot ass FBI check…
Don't forget the great dialogue through the walkie-talkie between James Reece and the lead FBI agent. Straight up Rambo homage. Done good.
This TV show actually had realistic characters making human decisions, comments, and interactions. Nobody was a caricature, or parody over the top actor. Makes a change this day and age
Exactly, and they act like the characters they are playing. Not like the execs making the movie would act if they were in the story. Constance Wu as the journalist made all the moves journalists make. Jeanne Tripplehorn was my second favourite character after Chris Pratt. She is fully aware of her actions and realises that she didn't do enough when things got out of hand so she tries to do better after the fact, until she realises some sins cannot be forgiven. She's not just "evil corrupt government lady."
Ben IS James friend but he skips missions because he points out how his office is questioning his irregular hours. His character was also neat and complex. He wasn't just "friend who betrays".
seeing the critics call it an "unhinged right-wing revenge fantasy" had me telling my parents it should be the next thing they binge XD (and binge it they did. They loved it)
Those also never fail to be entertaining.
Charles Bronson in Death Wish was smeared as just that. And it's an excellent film. It works because Paul Kersey in the first film was a conscientious objector and after he intervenes and beats up his first street robber he, like any normie who realises what they've let themselves in for, basically runs to the toilet and is violently sick.
The sequels are kind of memeworthy though.
Funny thing is it wasn't even inherently right wing in it's political messaging, assuming it even had deliberate political messaging at all which I'm not convinced it did. If there's any message to be taken from this show, it's that the government and corporations can't be trusted. That's hardly a divisive opinion nowadays lol.
activists* ;)
Some one called me "right-Winged". My repliy was this. "I didn't even know I was right-wing until I started to see and understand what the left-wing was about. Call me right winged, I'll wear it like armor, make it my coat of arms. I'll take that any day over the insanity of what the left is.
Chris Pratt’s mental and emotional conflict in this movie, along with his acting, had me crying like a baby several times throughout the show. Absolutely fantastic television in a world where it’s sorely missed.
Grown man here agreeing with ya, the series was moving and hit me good.
@@phantasticmrphasma9874 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@ramonandrajo6348 On that note: ruclips.net/video/mnZYLGCnxwo/видео.html
@@phantasticmrphasma9874 the characters were top notch. The plot was nothing revolutionary but that’s not the aim. The focal pieces are the characters and the interactions which they nailed.
Why do they need that crap just put the action in not touch feely shit. If i want emotional crap i'll hang out at an office watercooler in my spare time.
The quote out in the forest when he says “my father said don’t push a man to violence when he’s spent his entire life perfecting it” was hard af
There's a bunch of good lines. My favourite is, "You guys, you wanted in on the fray. You're on the battlefield now."
Also, complex characters. Again, like Drinker said, all the staple elements of a show pike this are in there. Ben was a friend who didn't bargain to have James family murdered. Hartley realised she was in the wrong and took steps but she just didn't go far enough and it weighs on her in the end. You think Katie is gonna a pain in the a*s reporter, but she actually acts and takes steps and plays the game like I've seen journalists play. Chris Pratt has spent years making my family laugh. This show, he made them cry. Mark of a great actor who is wearing his character like his skin.
The best way to watch this show is actually to know literally nothing about it.
Even talking about the first episode is a huge spoiler that would kill the tension they deliver on so well.
Dude, I'm more or less halfway through and I seriously consider it to be so well written that I would buy into a Fight Club style subversion at the end.
Or maybe the implying of a possibility that the plot will take such twist is the subversion itself.
Creators of the terminal list did a good job.
Meanwhile when I watched someone’s review of this, he compared this to Punisher so I immediately knew his wife would die
@@noobmasterruben5167 Best not to put spoilers for the first episode, man. You never know who will be reading these before watching.
Honestly I wish I hadn’t read the book first. The show is good but it can’t compare to the book and I think it would’ve been more enjoyable if I’d done it in reverse order
Right, because I really thought he killed his family, I'm only on episode 3. I saw Carr's interview on Joe Rogan a while back and just recently decided to watch it.
Not gonna lie, I burst into tears at Chris' performance when he found his family at the end of episode one. There was a grief there I didn't think he could pull off and I think it took me by complete surprise. I was hooked on the show from that moment.
Pratt was nothing short of great in this role. Very believable. Honestly his best performance imo
Contrast that to the feeling of exhilaration when he literally gutted their killer.
@@ramonandrajo6348 Set up by their own government to fail.
@@wesleyswafford2462 Considering what actually happened in Syria, I would say no.
@@ramonandrajo6348 in the book it’s not even in Syria, but Afghanistan. Guess there were some places the screen writers weren’t allowed to go?
as a former Marine, this was a breath of fresh air. Love the action, and the weapons handling was top notch as well. Glad you reviewed this.
Thanks and semper fi
right bro? it's impossible to find even remotely realistic gun movies
I thought there are no former Marines? Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Israel thanks you for your service.
I loved the way Pratt handled his guns like a real pro, changing hands to clear left and right corners.
My father (a firefighter) loved the show, and his friend (an ex army ranger) also loved the show and they talked about it for a long while. If a ranger thinks it's good it's probably good
The market is saturated with books like this. On the one hand you have a gem like Terminal List. On the other hand, I cannot believe how they messed up The Gray Man. As someone who loves the books, they got everything from the casting to the tone of the story wrong.
@@valentinegonsalves7322 Damn i had no idea the gray man was a book. It genuinely seemed like an empty Russo Brothers action movie with way too much quip and 0 sense
@@edun4513 The books are cool. The Gray Man is almost like John Wick or Batman. Everyone knows he's a force ir an entity, even if they don't know his identity. And the quips in the movie feel more like a Marvel thing. In the books, he's way more serious. He'll say one or two funny things, but he's a soldier above all. And he's on the run, being disavowed by the CIA.
I didn’t get the “right wing porn” narrative that many critics attribute to this.
It’s like they never saw an 80s or 90s action movie
If it were a guy avenging a freaking dog (John Wick) then it would've been praised beyond belief. But since it’s a man avenging is slain wife and daughter, then it becomes "right wing" (normal). Hollyweird indeed.
They hate everything masculine
Between this and Reacher, I’m excited and pumped for action/thriller Tv shows

@@Zathren Who says about paying? Yarr-harr!!
Would also suggest checking out The Old Man.
Such a good, refreshing series. Hard to believe they've made this in the current culture climate. I loved it from start to finish. Thanks, Crisp Ratt.
Ah, nice one. I see what you did there.
LOL I just posted and read your comment, we're using the same brain here it seems.. ;)
Laughed a little too hard to be honest.
It’s actually Mouse Rat
A US military group defeated by Syrians; I do like that.
I am not American and am just about the farthest thing away from a veteran, but I still enjoyed the heck out of this show. I did not think Reece was presented as a moral paragon, since Buranek is there as a strong, daring and confident counterpart for him. The show isn’t preachy, tho. You can choose to disagree with Reece’s quest for revenge and still empathize with him. Imagine that: being brave enough to trust your audience to make up their own minds.
This was the Punisher show we never got and Pratt was as terrific as terrifying! Top notch.
The punisher show we got was much better than this imo
@@mylifeisalie6781 Bernthal was a great Punisher and really well written in the Daredevil show... but his own show was a bit weak. He was always great, but the writting was pretty poor.
@@Jam-nv5gm yeah this had way better action. loved punisher too but not as this.
The only thing you didn’t mention was the complete and absolute commitment to portray special ops guys as they really are; not just how they move and handle weapons in war, but what they’re like in civilian life. And the fact the creator of this whole ip is a 20 year veteran SEAL commander with extensive combat experience.
I noticed Pratt switching hands with his rifle as he was walking through the interior of a building (I think in the Mexico episode). I don't really know if that's a thing that's taught in special forces, but it seemed like a detail that they intentionally added in. It felt authentic.
Yes because every Navy Seal has a safe at home thousands of dollars of cash on hand. Even though they make maybe 4k a month and support a wife and child.... pffffff
@@SenorQuichotte
I do. And I don't make that much. It's called preparedness.
you get 10-12k for entering the seals training and 40k on graduation. A commander which the character was would be paid 5.5k a month and all seals can earn special warfare incentives of a possible 1k a month. He does get a top up from his pal down south as well remember
@@SenorQuichotte I made more than $4500 a month as an E5 with more than 12 years time in service, back in 2004. He is the equivalent of a Major in the other branches, O5, and the base pay is $6112 if they come in as an O5. They can make $10,384 a month with 22 years time in service. Combat pay, jump pay, family separation, BAS, BAH, and other allowances all add up. Then you have the bonuses for signing, making it through training, and reenlistment bonuses for some jobs. For a while USAF LAN/WAN Admins were getting $60k to reenlist.
Until you hit E5 and O3 its a struggle though, not gonna lie. You barely get paid enough to do much of anything until you have 8 years and have made E5 or O3. My E5 pay was higher than O1 and O2 pay when I got out, which is very different from when I first enlisted in 1988. Back then an E9, the highest enlisted rank got paid less than an O1, the lowest commissioned officer rank. My first paycheck in 1988 was $710 for the entire month.
You'd be surprised to see what I can do with $4k a month.
This is Chris’s best performance to date imho. One that will allow him to break out of the “goofy badass” type set he was starting to get set into. Absolutely nailed it!
All in preparation of his Oscar bid.
Mario.
I was Actually really impressed with his depth in this.
he was already there with Tomorrow war
@@leoSaunders tomorrow war was great. But it's hard to compare "sci-fi serious" to "reality serious". I think Terminal List is much better.
@@muffinlordghoti1 oh god. Will this be as bad as other video game movies?
What I liked about the show was that especially the „good“ people on his list got the chance to state their motivation… Which actually made sense from their point of view… That is what incredible good writing looks like. Giving each character their own thinking and motivation that is actually understandable.
I’m almost mad that a 2nd season is in the works. Everyone has been scratched off the list, James is on a boat sailing away to anywhere, and the series is at a great stopping point. Some stories just need to end no matter how popular it is, which I feel is why popular shows get ruined.
Yeah I feel like the one season is enough
Yeah but It's based on books, they are not translated in my language but from what I saw, the author wrote 3 novels on that character.
I figured at the end he was sailing to see Raife, who left the boat for them.
That’s a title problem, the Terminal List was book one of the series, there’s five books total and I guess they all expand off of the first story. The Show had a lot of things left open at the end, so it can still feel like a continuation of the story.
But he's not "sailing off to anywhere". They specifically show a map of the African coast of Mozambique, hinting that's likely where he's charting a course to. And remember that Raife Hastings is out there and yet to have been shown on screen. He owed a favor to Reece and had provided the boat and Barrett .50 sniper rifle and ammunition used in the assault on the estate in the final episode. And Katie the reporter had a file on Raife in her papers as we see the last of her in the final episode.
Lots of directions to go from here, especially with so much untapped source material from the other books in the series.
My father is a army vet. A grizzled old school man’s man and he LOVED this show. It was really nice to be able to sit with him and watch his enthusiasm rise with each episode. Jack Karr was right when he said these are the types of men this show was made for, and it was special to share that with my old man.

Well, The Terminal List wasn't made for soft, weird, mentally ill subhumans who can't define what gender they are and would lose a war to a dozen cockroaches. I like how Karr openly reversed the roles. This had a target audience, that being sane men and women who enjoy good content.
@@TheStraightestWhitest dang I forgot about a wrinkle in time. That movie was not done well….
Edit: the book is great tho
@@samwise8565 I like how the director for the film was a black woman who then decided it'd be empowering to make the protagonist a black girl because it'd be "a strong message" to have a white boy following a black girl... Just shows how sick these people are.
And what I find even more ironic is that when the film tanked and lost them over $160M, they didn't mention that bit. They just mentioned how it was a crowning achievement for being the highest grossing film helmed by a black woman...
Hollywood sickens me.
Yeah it definitely rides the line of dorky and geeky. I know a lot of corny but great dudes who loved this. To each their own, and I’m glad it’s there.
That's the thing that makes this show stand out--there was no message. It was pure story. At no point did it ever feel like the cast were giving you side eye while delivering a monologue about patriarchy or BLM or the horrors of capitalism or anything like that. You could just enjoy the show for what it was.
There's a reason why this show and Top Gun have done so well this summer while everything else loaded with "The Message" has flopped. I really hope there are still enough people left in the entertainment industry who have a brain and see what The Terminal List and Top Gun have accomplished. That there's money to be made when you deliver a quality product.
As for the critics. They gave Cuties--a movie for pedophiles--glowing reviews. That says all you need to know about their view of the world.
You were right until the end. It seems you did not understand Cuties. It was a movie against pedophilia, a trigger alarm for people to understand that child sexualization is wrong. I am amazed at how hypocrites can americans be. They call Cuties a pedophile movie while americans attend child beauty pageants where 5-7 year old girls are dressed and make up as whores and that's OK.
There was a clear alternative message, officers in the military are bad and private contractors are evil.
@@Andrew_NJ Reece was an officer. Anyway, the show was a military conspiracy thriller, so of course some officers are going to be bad. And guess what, a lot of officers in the military ARE bad. Private contractors are just an easy target when you need a battalion of disposable bad guys to get mowed down.
@@culmo80 Seriously so a lot of officers in the military are bad but no a lot of the enlisted? LMFAO!
@@Andrew_NJ where did I say that? Plenty of bad enlisted too. Not sure why you're here picking a fight but I'm really not interested.
Read the books. You’ll be even more amazed at how good the story is. The show changed some things significantly but it’s still better than anything else out there.
Low critic scores vs good audience scores is now my best metric for judging movies

@@moarabi2067 They were replicating a suicide case. They had to make contact with the skin upon pulling the trigger, and if you look at Reece, he knows that, hence why he waits until the last second but makes his move juuuust before it actually connects. This show thought things through bro.
@@TheStraightestWhitest yeah i get that but it still bugs me because in a real situation it won't play out like that i mean as you say the guy does it real slow but at the end of the day it's a show but this gun grabbing stuff just sets me off i've seen it so many times i've had enough of it but i agree it makes some sense for what they're going for here jmo
The military advisor/s for this series needs proper recognition and praise. The way the actors move, shoot, speak, wear thier uniforms is grade A. At times I thought I was watching real-life operators at work. Excellent show!
Was very pleasantly surprised by this show and would say this is chris pratt’s best role yet
This showed Chris Pratt in a really different light. When he walks into his house and sees his family dead. You can see his whole world crumble… it’s like the human James Reece dies and the animal is released. Pratt in this and guardians of the galaxy (old marvel) are top notched in my book; when it comes to an actor, Chris Pratt really gives you an experience. (Except in jurrasic world but I blame the writers)
I really liked him in those movies,I'm not sure who else could have carried them like chris pratt, i only like the first one tbh

Just watch the last episode, loved this show. It was thrilling and entertaining. It's not often that shows like this come out. Chris Pratt does an excellent job handling the weapons in the show also, he definitely had some proper training. That is one of the most annoying aspects of action movies/shows is the improper handling of weapons and tactical situations.
They might have had experts on set, I noticed many small but realistic details that shows and movies tend to get wrong
I enjoy this show so far. A rare gem to find a series like this nowadays.

@@matthewbump6997 5:36: A Positive Portrayal of the Military. Well, yeah, i loved Stargate SG1 deeply, but duh: Real Man also should be aware the US-Military is a Trainwreck, getting a bit but only a bit of its Fair-Share in Second Thought's video "The Recruitment Tactics of the US."
A series as good as this one is pretty rare, but there are good series out there from other countries. A lot of other places dont have the woke virus, Asian countries in particular, but Italy and Spain seem resistant also. Gomorrah, for example, was as good as the Term List in its own way.
yah a good show for white supremacists that love evil brown people getting killed. lol
A US military group defeated by Syrians; I do like that.
I really enjoyed that show. Some great action and some quite dark moments
That scene when he eviscerated the sicario that killed his family was particularly dark.
I’ll say this is the best I’ve seen Chris Pratt
And I was surprised with the show as well
It actually did subvert some expectations
There were some moments where I began to question the actions and motivations of certain characters
Some characters I can smell a mile away that they were corrupt to their core while others I saw as doing what they did because they felt that they wanted to do the right thing.
But in the end, justice came. In some form or another.
Yah, this is the Without Remorse we should have gotten, tbh. (i'd have prefered a near-straight book-to-screen adaptation of that fantastic Tom Clancy book, but what can i say about the version they gave us? I didn't even bother watching it tbh. I've read Clancy's Without Remorse 2-3 times and it's truly great though. Very similar sort of experience one might have while consuming The Terminal List! intensely fascinating, epic humanity in its repeatability, and oh so visceral at times that you just need to consume it a bit more slowly than some things.
I know Chris Pratt is meant to be Mr Funny Guy and all. But damn, this is by far his best performance in my book.
I watched this show with friends because I'm a reader and this is my genre. My friends, who didn't shed a tear at Infinity War ended up drying their eyes at several parts of The Terminal List. Chris Pratt nails this role and I hope it opens up more roles and avenues like this for him.
Chris Pratt needed this role. He was getting awfully close to being plunged down a comedy toilet. His work on the series could easily set him up for top notch action movies.
This show was the best new thing I’ve watched in a while. Got hooked from the first episode and couldn’t stop watching. Chris Pratt really killed it in this role. Looking forward to season 2!
It’s a limited series.
@@Enigma75614 It’s based on a book series of which there are 4 or 5 now I believe. They already said season 2 is in the works.
Yeah, by the end I was begging for James to stop. Hoping he'd find a cure and live. And the final twist made me tear up, even tho I saw it coming
Good to see Chris doing something serious that doesn't require him talking to a raccoon or a dinosaur.
Or a tree
Well, his next movie has him talking to and riding a dinosaur while being able to dress up as a raccoon.
@@HydraSpectre1138 That's how they financed this one :>
I was pretty impressed and looking forward to Season 2. ANYTHING without "The Message" is A+++
Watched the show and damn it was cool. I really loved how Reese prepared for each encounter, and was stone cold, when people fought back, like the guy he had restrained with zipties, who start hitting Reese and you expect some kind og fight, bit Reese simply eliminates him with a single shot. Effective and controlled.
Such a breath of fresh air, when soldiers act like soldiers, not action heroes.
As soon as I watched the Terminal List, I wrote a mental note to watch out for the Drinkers take as I knew I’d be getting chills as he masterfully wordsmiths the hell outta this awesome series. Bravo Drinker. You sir are indeed critical in this social battle against woke trash.
@don't be surprised Potato Head biden has been here for a while now.
I feel I should point out that Chris Pratt playing a badass military dude is not unprecedented, he was pretty great in Zero Dark Thirty.
Jack Carr said he wrote the book with Chris in mind exactly because of that roll
Another great show that they attempted, and failed, to suppress.

The Terminal List is the BEST action series I have ever scene IMO. It doesn’t get better than this. It’s a great story, great acting, directing, real men, great supporting cast and has realistic action scenes with proper weapon handling. Give me more of this!!!
I was really impressed with this show. Obviously it’s not perfect and it has a plot similar to other military action thrillers, but it didn’t feel like the show was trying to preach to me. It was just good entertainment that I could escape into for a bit, which is what movies/shows used to be. Also, I think Chris Pratt put in a great performance
It delivered what it promised. More of this please. Seeing Chris Pratt as as James Reece gives me new found respect of his range as an actor. Taylor Kitsch is Solid as always and even the charisma vacuum that is Jai Courtney managed to dish out a solid performance. Shout out to Constance Wu as the nosy reporter looking for the story of her life who even as a supporting character is given enough time to develop her story arc. Looking forward to Season 2.
Jai does a good job in most roles he plays. Seems to really have nailed down the bad guy role which is one of the hardest to do in movies.
@@bighands69
He's right up there with Mark Strong and Giancarlo Esposito when it comes to playing villains.
Jai Courtney is the worst I think we all tolerated him 'cus we got to see him shot in the face. So that was nice.
I agree, it didn't take long for him to "become" a believable seal, and that's no small feat considering every goof who spent 2 weeks in basic training claims to be a seal...
Had ot playing in the background while playing mobile games. As a multitasker the story drove me in nicely. Had been resisting to watch it because I thought it'd be crappy political propaganda or something, but out of boredom and while drinking some beers, decided to give it a go. I was impressed
The "brother" thing is something seals do. It's not bad writing, it's accuracy.
A couple neighbors of mine are fairly recent ex-Army, and both use "brother" as a standard in conversation when I see them at parties/BBQs with everyone. "Hey, brother, glad you came!"
It was written by an ex navy seal :)
It’s sounds clunky to British ears, no matter how accurate it may be.

Best series in a very long time. Everything made sense and the storytelling was top notch.

Three things made this one of the best series ever: 1) Pratt turns out to be a master actor, 2) the action pulls absolutely no punches, and 3) there is not the slightest trace of wokeness. I will probably watch this multiple times.
Such a damn good show.
It's not one of the best series ever. It's better than your average today.

Not everything needs to be mind blowing, subversive, or thought provoking.
That has its place, but by the beard of Poseidon, there also needs to be entertainment.
Almost like entertainment should be... entertaining 🤯
Yeah, just make it "not insulting to rational viewers"
"I didn't make it for the critics..." should be the motto for future directors and writers.
Finally got around to watching the first episode. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting much, even with Drinker's recommendation. Modern action films and shows just haven't been doing anything for me. However, I am hooked. I'm just mad I watched the first episode so late at night. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch more, but the first episode was freaking EXCELLENT. Did such a great job of making you uncertain about what really happened and what might have been due to Pratt's character's head injury. So much uncertainty, so much trauma, and the action scenes, particularly at the end, were top-notch. Can't believe how well Pratt transitioned to a gritty, dramatic role.
Rule of thumb, if the critics hate it, then it must be good...
That show impressed the hell out of me. It also shows that Chris Pratt has potential as a serious actor instead of being typecast as comedy relief. I'm looking forward to the second season!

I love how if a movie doesn't tow the line it's "Right wing". Can't we just have good movies without an agenda?
We've lowered our expectations that much. Just watch any random movie from the 80's and 90's and the vast majority would be called right wing now.
When ‘influencers’ bring out lists like ‘10 Classic books that are actually 🚩’ & all the reasons why older books, movies & shows would *never* be made today - some- it makes sense- up to a point; ‘Old cartoons were racist’ - ‘Apocalypse Now would NEVER be made today’ - then there’s even articles on _their_ projects- like The Take’s numerous videos on shows like ‘Friends’ & ‘Sex in the City’ having ‘problematic’ aspects - no, not really...
I guess all we *can* do is support the unique shows, films, & products that defy the modern arbitrariness of what is ‘good’- & keep our standards of quality.
Not in 'murica you can't. Everything is hyper politicalized.
Well, apparently according to the 'activists'... *cough cough* I mean the critics, if a medium is tied to US military, it is right wing propaganda.
The only critic I listen to is the Drinker, keep up with the great commentaries!
Stopped the video at 5 seconds to go and watch the show. I may or may not comment further when I have tried it. Just want to say that this channel is the only one where I can hear someone talking mostly sense and not attacking me if they are wrong.
This is a great series. That girl of his, with the onesie and the cape, being raised to be a real strong woman and a patriot. And then her and her mother getting killed. Shit, that broke my heart. Those flashbacks of her had me tearing up. And the rest of it, fucking awesome. I saw that interview on Tucker too, and he mentioned one of the reason why he wrote it was his disdain for the ladder climbing, desk officers who have been failing up for the last 20 years and suffered no consequences for their terrible command decisions. As a former Marine, that, I could relate to that. He makes the distinction between the line officers and the non-coms who do the real fighting and winning and the clock punchers putting in their time so they can go get on the board of a defense contractor company and keep feeding at the trough.
@@fvefve12 Wow, the woke nut cases are out today. Really, Fred? How would you think a Navy seal would raise his daughter? And she liked to pretend to be Super Girl, an spin off of Superman, who defended Truth, Justice and the American way. Yeah, real stretch. Not as much of an assumption you make about how I was raised. So, do you think patriotism and critical thinking are mutually exclusive? Tell me critical thinker. As to you critical thinking skills, how does conscription keep ladder climbers in check? You can extend you enlistment or commission, no matter if it's voluntary or not. And if I join I'm cannon fodder, but if I'm conscripted I'm not? How is a voluntary contract different than forced conscription as it relates to senior officer behavior? How does that make any fucking difference. They only have to deal with people with a contract? What does that even mean. What a jumble of nonsense.
I hated the flashbacks, it just dragged the series on and I wanted to fast forward past them as they were incredibly boring. I also couldn't stand the childish enlisted vs officer mentality story line, it is another reason I could not stand the author.
@@Andrew_NJ You do realise Reece was an officer?
@@Andrew_NJ As someone who despises flashbacks, this is the first time I've seen it work because they aren't actually flashbacks. They're memories Reece is confusing with the present because of his brain trauma.

This is just like with the game "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order", all elements in the game are known, existed for ages, but are now reshuffeled in a grounded (within the existing universe) fun experience that doesn't overstay its welcome. No pandering to the shareholders or SJW.
Just a good experience.
With "Terminal List" I had the same, it's a grounded 'real' (for the most part) story, with a plausible series of events. No wheels that need to be (re-)invented. Just a good story that as a non-american, non-veteran, but avid gamer I could understand and 'feel'. I binge-watched it and wanted more.
“Pandering to the shareholders” is usually just making a good show that will be popular and make money.
Personally, I’m sick of the mentality in the entertainment industry that money shouldn’t matter and that art school indoctrinated “creatives” must be given free reign to make anything they want with no input from the people who’s money they’re using to make it.
That’s how we ended up with every film pushing THE MESSAGE to begin with.
@@deriznohappehquite The concepts of "fan service" & "pandering to the shareholders" have been conflated with "SJW service" & "pandering to the loudest". Watching woke-ist dogma is tedious & nauseating.
It only ever worked in the first place by casting Evil White Patriarchy (TM) as actually having control of anything (3 Days of the Condor, ignoring Robert Redford as the protagonist or the presence of anything but YT CIS), which is becoming a harder sell every day.
@@deriznohappehquite it's not as simple as that. Part of a company's ESG rating nowadays, which is one of many ratings used to advise investors on how investible a company is, is often literally just THE MESSAGE. How "diverse and inclusive" their hiring policy is for example.
Granted that's not done for moral reasons, it's because woke news media and investment ratings companies are basically holding a gun to their heads. If they don't follow the message, then there is a higher likelihood that their company will be exposed to public controversy that could damage its value. But if they toe the line, and keep their ESG/D&I rating high, they can stay off the radar.
In other words, shareholders often actually have an incentive to support woke companies because they're lower risk.
@@yewtewbstew547 despite the inevitable failure of their woke films and shows? ESG will be pretty pointless when that happens
After a long period of hard stressful hard work I finally got time to watch this masterpiece. Thank you Drinker for this amazing recommendation. This one should be marked as "The Drinker Recommends". Cheers.
This show had some of the best action set pieces in television, the whole jungle sequence was 11/10
Carr was an actual operator and fairly involved with the production so makes sense that it's actually solid along with the books.
Same thing with Reacher and Lee Child. If Tolkien was still alive, Amazon wouldn't be given the chance to fuck up his world.
He was one of the guys Pratt killed, too. Operator, author, and extra!
@@samuelchristie570 Yeah, him getting canoed in the car like that was a total surprise haha
I remember watching it and thinking, "Damn, it's pretty good." and nearly watching the entire series in one sitting, which is saying a lot, because almost no other show has made me lose track of time watching one in years Iike this one has. So yea, I'd definitely recommend it to just about anyone. Really good stuff.
The only recent Amazon show which kept me sitting and watching it through in one go like that was Reacher.
@@ScienceChap Literally same. Drinker recommend Reacher - I watched in one go; on his Rings Of Power video, someone commented about the Reacher and a certain Terminal List, and I went in blind to watch it. Finished it 2 hours ago in one go. Amazing stuff.
I remember back in the seventies '2000ad' ran a series called 'Mach 1' - he was a kind of cross between 007 and the 6 Million Dollar Man: he'd fight the generic terrorists and evil people but then the story went to a different level when he began to realise the people he was working for were far worse. In the end he was shot dead by the British army while he was trying to help someone escape from captivity. Amazing story and it's a pity it was never made into a film.
My Friends dad has worked with/ met Chris Pratt on several occasions and has said that he is one of the nicest, most down to earth celebrities that you’ll ever meet.
A few years ago Pratt had a small role as the villain in a somewhat forgettable western called The Kid, with Ethan Hawke and Dane DeHaan. And man, was he terrifying. He's been pretty smart with his movie career, securing big roles as an affable, sarcastic, PG-13 action hero before he really branches out, but I have no doubt that he took that little cameo in The Kid just so he could show people his range. He absolutely nailed it in this show.
Its success is important. It opens the door to the Hollywood echo chamber, waking up producers to realize that there's a massive untapped market of conservative and apolitical people out there who respect (or serve/served in) the military, don't trust higher government, keep their families together, own guns, and generally don't like being painted as society's deadliest poison. Hopefully it results in similar adaptations.
We just need Amazon to notice this Ryan Drake fellow.
I'll have to check that out, thanks.
Dude was in Zero Dark Thirty. I don't think he needed a small role to show his range lol
And a global audience that doesn't care for US politics one way or another - like where I'm from. Where if you use the term 'non-binary' people assume you're talking about computers.
@@shaunk6822 Long may it last for you. Don't even let that stuff get started.
@@zakattk001 I actually rewatched ZDT a couple of weeks ago. He's great in it, but it's a pretty standard role for him. A couple of sarcastic lines here and there. Nothing to suggest he would someday play someone like James Reece.
I went in this show with absolute zero expectations and nothing to know out of boredom starting a new show. Honestly It's one of the best ones recently made. A rare thing to see.
I finally got around to watching this, mostly because of your review. I loved it. This was on par with The Punisher, and with respect to the mental health portion, this is what Moon Knight should have been.
Yeah Amazon is nailing these. Reacher, Jack Ryan and this are all good stuff. They have some other good stuff too even in fantasy land, like Carnival Row which doesn't shy away from strong and empowered woman but also doesn't insult man, both can be competent and resourceful in their own way. It also has that cool sort of OG Star Trek or the Witcher books take on some civilizational issues, it's nuanced. I liked it. I hope second season won't be disappointing. The fact that it's original content and not an adaptation makes it even cooler.
Although to be fair, they fucked up why Venezuela is a shithole.
if by OG Star Trek you mean Strange New Worlds, then i totally agree with you; fantastic show. Also, I keep wishing Carnival Row would hurry up! (or someone would go ahead and make a proper version of Without Remorse by Tom Clacy, but that's almost exactly what Terminal List is thank goodness!)
Chris Pratt was so good at his role that I completely forgot that he was in the show. I'm glad to see Pratt do something other than Andy, Andy in marvel, Andy in a cowboy movie, Andy in a Lego movie.

“Professional critics” I guarantee that 99% of the male critics are not very masculine.
Terminal list was the absolute tits.”Never push a man to violence when he has spent his life perfecting violence.” Best line ever.

So I decided to give Terminal List a go. WHOA! Right from the jump hubby and I were frozen in place, staring at the screen, jaw at maximum droppage! We spent two nights binge watching the whole thing even though we had to stay up till 3am to finish each time.
Drinker is 100% spot on. Chris Pratt has achieved harmonic convergence as the super soldier out to avenge a terrible wrong. Lots of very satisfying payback against well played bad guys. Plot twists fly around like shrapnel. Action scenes are worth a second look so thank God for technology. We hit replay a half dozen times.
Jai Courtney (Jack Reacher) is pitch perfect as a heartless captain of industry and special forces wannabe. Constance Wu keeps up with the big boys as a restless reporter in pursuit of THE STORY that will nail her the fame she lusts for. Taylor Kitsch is a well rounded brother in arms willing to stroll through the gates of hell for his friend because that's what honor and loyalty require.
Everyone involved in all eight episodes did an amazing job in this compelling adventure story. We loved the plot, characters, actors, photography, and score from start to finish. And although the cast is very diverse, each member is stand alone strong. Women are determined, capable, and talented but never give off even a whiff of Mary Sue crap. There are weak natured, evil bad guys but they come in all flavors so there's no White Men antipathy either.
I am grateful to see that Hollywood can still turn out hero stories that inspire and excite. This show is going on my repeat list.
I don't know how many people noticed, but the guy who Reece shoots outside the restaurant when he's with Katie - That role was played by author Jack Carr himself.
It’s funny how actors in the MCU, when given a competent and quality scrip, can actually act and well. Chris pratt in this, Chris Hemsworth in extraction and Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock. Just shows how the MCU underutilises what quality talent they really have in their arsenal. Would also love to see a review of Sherlock
Thankfully Sherlock came out LOOOOONNNNnnnnggggggg before MCU. I give Ben great props for improving his Strange accent, improved his modulation from the flat first movie to Infinity War and onward... but Sherlock's first two seasons especially were really well written. I love how sing-song UK accents are compared to what they think of as the "stereotypical US accent." I can do three, two badly.
*pouts tearfully and wipes her eyes* I *LOVE* Wheel of TIme, it's my favourite book series, and the show ... I can't even begin to describe how upset I was. And that was after following it for 25 years bouncing around rights and such.
Heck look how underutilized Macgregor was in the prequels with George, and Hayden who is actually a decent actor. Took him a decade to get better roles because your highlight reel is under George?
I too vote for a review of Sherlock, but I don't think it'd be up Drinker's pub. Especially the modern twists.
I really like your name Roan! Thanks for letting me use your comment, best wishes to you
Been trying to get Drinker to revisit some guy Ritchie classics too, maybe he’s got something against reviewing UK productions.
Best Sherlock.
Drinker, I highly recommend you get Jack Carr on your interview series. Carr lived the life of a character who could be in a Tom Clancy book. Carr's life experience is why his books are solid.
ruclips.net/video/mnZYLGCnxwo/видео.html
I've enjoyed listening to him on Rogan's podcast
What’s truly amazing is how he can go into such great detail of BUDS/Spec Ops in his books, without giving away classified info, tactics and procedures, since the DOD has to review and clear his manuscript. Pretty damn impressive.
One of the best, if not the best shows I've seen in a long time. Well played Mr Pratt, re-watching Parks and Rec will never be the same!
Bert Macklin is a scary, scary man now.
The Terminal List was called one of those "shows for dads", which is why it appeals to old dudes and dads. Maybe this is then what Critical Thinker is. It is an old dude and dad channel. It is why younger and different audiences do not care much about this thing. However, maybe this is the future, with an aging society and simply bigger and more productions.
Every story is the introduction of a genre to a new audience, so it's not always about breaking ground, it's about strengthening what was already there to make a solid foundation for new fans and casual watchers alike. I hope they keep bringing back good production values regardless of the genre or story.
@@fvefve12 I agree with you even thought i didnt watch the punisher, because it has happened before. However, even copies need to have some degree of quality, which can be the sole reason a new fan gets into the genre. Then it will be the fan's responsibility (and pleasure) to discover the true genre busters as they travel the rabbit hole in search for better. I know it from experience, cause i began my own journey liking stories like Eragon, which is an amateur derivative of older and better works, but it got me searching for more. Thanks for sharing your info, though.
I’d glad to see Taylor Kitsch back in the acting dept, I thought after John Carter that he’d be no longer cast in any mainstream film or series
Disney intentionally tanked “John Carter”, it was a good movie. Just look at what they did to Star Wars.
He's pretty good in Shadowplay/The Defeated, a show on netflix
He was in True Detective S2 if I'm not wrong.
John Carter was a very underrated movie. I went in with very low expectations, but it turned out to be a pretty good movie.
John Carter was a logically weird idea like Cowboys VS Aliens, but it ended up a pretty good film. Don't get what people have against it. It wasn't groundbreaking, but it was good. Definitely above average.
the scene where he takes cover behind the engine block is wonderful
I started this video yesterday. Heard Drinker say "it's good" paused the video, binged half the show last night. Binged the other half this morning. IT WAS GOOD! Nothing to breaking the mold as drinker would say. But one of the best version of these types of stories/shows/films I ever saw. The acting was on point. The story details were well thought out and beleivable. And THE ACTION WAS FUCKING SICK.
My buddy is Pratt's double. He sometimes does fight choreography (not sure if he did for this project). But whenever he gets the chance, he throws in as much Jackie Chan style fighting as possible. Makes for fun action sequences.
nice maybe try getting him on stuntmen react series on corridor
