The plot prefers to hammer the viewer with the simplistic image of good guy Americans versus “monsters at the door” over the finer points of geopolitical conflict. Go to Full Review

Kitsch is a diverting anti-hero, morphing from fraternity-embracing band of brother to an “every man for himself” everyman. Thanks to him, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has just enough brain to compensate for its overdose of gun-toting brawn. Go to Full Review

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf takes fans on an action-packed journey into the life of Ben Edwards before his time in Chris Pratt's The Terminal List. The story itself is compelling and dark, even if it takes a while to find its footing. Go to Full Review

In a world of seemingly endless movies and series about spycraft, soldiers at war, or returning from war, government agents, and espionage, Dark Wolf does nothing to stand out from the pack. Go to Full Review

marlene B. @Msmar 1d Excellent and action-packed excitement. Almost watched ALL of Season 2. Only have 3 episodes to go. Admire all the actors; my favorite is Taylor Kitsch. Highly recommend watching this 5-star series. See more Dhruv S @rezumo Feb 10 Terminal List is fine. There is nothing spectacular about this show nor is there anything abysmal. However more than enough times Terminal List: Dark Wolf fails to capitalize on momentum to deliver a visceral experience worth remembering. It is content to rest on comfortable tropes and narratives. This is enough to keep you mildly engaged throughout the show. However it does not reach reach the quality of its predecessor starring chris pratt. The performances are fine and so is the narrative. There are definitely some tense action scenes which is the shows strength. However terminal list is more of a spy thriller. Leading to a mediocre show. See more Jesse R. @Valhallawarrior Dec 30 I absolutely loved how they brought the two shows together and the action in the show was absolutely awesome. Chris is an awesome actor so is several others in the show. It was all around amazing I hope they come out with another season of both. See more Sarah P @RT96606913 Dec 2 Kitsch cannot act. That's the main problem. He just can't. He's like a diet Jared Leto only too bland to be hated - just enough to be pitied. I had to turn it off after 10 minutes. It's unwatchable. See more Gorjan S @Slatko3000 Nov 30 The dialogue is so abysmal, couldn't make it through the first episode. See more Andrea F @AndreaFrancolini Nov 16 Spectacular series, well written and executed.
