Our Review
The Terminal List (2022) is a drama and action series from Prime Video. It has built a run of 16 episodes. It premiered on July 1, 2022. Viewers rate it 7.7 out of 10. It is currently running. It runs 2 seasons.
What The Terminal List Is About
Based on the best-selling novel by Jack Carr, The Terminal List follows James Reece after his entire platoon of Navy SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. Reece returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. However, 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.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 16 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its drama/action roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Chris Pratt, Taylor Kitsch and Constance Wu to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Chris Pratt, Taylor Kitsch, Constance Wu, Riley Keough, Arlo Mertz and Jeanne Tripplehorn lead the cast.
Key roles include Chris Pratt as James Reece; Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards; Constance Wu as Katie Buranek; Riley Keough as Lauren Reece; Arlo Mertz as Lucy Reece.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, action and thriller have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Prime Video’s other originals, a 7.7/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2022 and carried by Prime Video with the series still running, it lands hardest with drama and action viewers.
How The Terminal List Compares
If The Terminal List lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/action lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole The Terminal List is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/action roots, It has held up since 2022 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Terminal List is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and action lane, at 16 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.7/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.7/10. Watch it if you want drama/action you can settle into.
