The Engram
In the wake of a disastrous mission overseas, Navy SEAL
... More Commander James Reece returns home with conflicting memories of the op and questions about his own culpability.LessChris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy) leads this thriller series as a former Navy SEAL investigating an ambush that took his whole platoon by surprise. Based on the book by Jack Carr with the first episode directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day).
James Reece returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. As new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him, endangering not only his life but the lives of those he loves.
Less(Pratt is) giving arguably his laziest performance to date, lethargically shuffling through scenes like he’s just here for the cash, unable to bring any real shades of humanity to an admittedly half-a-note character...
Full reviewPratt’s serious acting still does not have much depth to it, and he does no service to that with his performance in this openly deranged show.
Full reviewThe series arrives with impact, intrigue and interesting tradecraft, even if Pratt isn’t a terribly captivating lead.
Full review(Pratt is) miscast in this occasionally thrilling and well-paced but ultimately predictable, formulaic and cliché-riddled series.
Full reviewPlausibility... is the first casualty of Terminal List. There’s something vital and maybe even perceptive about this body-count bonanza, though.
Full reviewThe plot, in so much as there is one, will make about as much sense to viewers as it does to the heavily concussed Reece.
Full reviewLife right now is pretty grim as it is; we don’t need this much monotonous darkness in our entertainment, too.
Full reviewWhile primarily made for the couch-surfing dad, if you accept this TV series for what it is, The Terminal List is an entertaining, adrenalin-fueled adventure.
Full reviewProduction values are high; the action scenes are well staged. (The series, which has a tendency to repeat its points, can drag between them.)
Full reviewAfter a solid premiere episode, The Terminal List unfolds in a pattern that soon becomes boring...
Full reviewThe Terminal List: Season 1 is available to stream in New Zealand now on Prime Video.
