re: The Terminal List Discussion. *Spoilers*

Ben twist was pretty predictable but also suspect.

How would he have not known Reece would figure it out very easily eventually? Wiring money to Peru after they had talked about it?

Had a slight inclination it would be the Mexican family friend as well. Must have missed what the significance of that family actually was.

Kind of wish there was a better twist but knew it was over when they were talking about trust in the van.

I think when the wife and daughter were killed he felt his death was a foregone conclusion. He was just riding it out to get as much redemption for himself before Reese figured it out.

not reading any spoilers, is this show good?

I felt like it was a worthwhile investment of roughly 8 hours of my viewing time.

Overall I enjoyed it and would say it's good, but has some flaws.

Agreed. If you are into violent revenge stories then you will like it more than others. There's a lot of darkness and confusion for the main character that can be hit or miss. Sometimes I feel his pain a little more through those scenes and other times it's a bit much...maybe too frequent and drags a bit. But overall it plays well.

I read the book when it came out and each book after. I also love this genre...Rapp, Harvath, Reacher and a whole bunch more. I'm about to start a reread of the first book. A whole lot more story they can tell if they want. It's also not a bad way to end a single season show.

I view this show as a much darker and violent version of the Reacher show on Prime. Both are about basically unstoppable forces wrecking shite. Reacher is a bit more light hearted in tone and I remember laughing a good bit more at the scenes. The only laughs I remember from Terminal List was after a brutal revenge kill and the laughter was from shocked awesomeness as opposed to actual comedy.

I would be so shocked if this is any good. "Serious" Chris Pratt just hasn't worked as a leading man and his other project with Amazon was awful. I wish he'd lean into comedies again.

Can we just visit this post for a moment to say how off it was. Pratt isn't going to win an Oscar for it but I thought he did a damn good job in this completely serious role. He phoned it in on the last Jurassic World but you could tell this was a passion project for him. I hope he is in this role for many seasons to come.

The ending definitely hinted at the direction that the second book goes so I could absolutely see another season.

After watching and never reading the book/knowing about the storyline before this series I have but one thing to say

Tim Riggins forever

Books in order: Terminal List, True Believer, Savage Son, The Devil's Hand, In the Blood.

I find it interesting that half the episodes were directed by African Americans. It’s always interesting that diversity means nothing if it doesn't further a leftist agenda.
