The Terminal List: Dark Wolf | Teaser | August 27

Chris Pratt personally ensured Terminal List S1 was awesome, so I wonder if this will be up to the same standard. Loved S1 though so definitely on board.
 
I got recommended The Terminal List by a member on Gaf and was very pleasantly surprised by it. I didn't think Pratt had it in him. It's the show that made me think he could be Gunn's next Batman.
 
Kitsch was awesome in American Primeval so I have high hopes for this one. Not sure I care all that much for Ben Edwards as a character versus all the other ones they could be profiling from the James Reece-verse but Carr rarely disappoints.

This feels like a more manly version of Lioness, hope it ups the gun game for TV as well. No CG muzzle flashes or blood, I want blanks galore and karo syrup by the buckets!

Damnit! They're doing the slow release bullshit. I was hoping to get all of the episodes at once.

I guess I'll check back in October.
 
Not nearly as thrilling and exciting as The Terminal List, but it might get better. I like the Gambit actor.
 
Yeah, the dialogue feels very forced and it doesn't have as intense of fights. But I'm assuming this was a lesser budget thing they could put out between TTL seasons, so it's ok.

For me though the greatest sin is that weird curly hair mullet thing Taylor as going on. Who approved that hair cut??
 
The third episode was great.
Exactly what i expect from this kind of thriller

ps. That hot gal from Fauda! 🤌

Hah hah hah, having Ray Porter (narrator for all the books) as a voice on the phone is a fun easter egg. Wonder where Carr's death scene will be :P
 
Damn, using Tool over a "Gear up for bear" montage has been the BEST use of an expensive song I've seen in years. Alien:Earth and Peacemaker, take notes for how to use music to enhance, not distract.

And damn, how many Sig arms product endorsement and phone game name drops are we gonna get :P

Was not impressed with episode 1. The writing was pretty trash.

I'd say give it another ep or 2. There is a big tonal/setting shift after ep1. It's almost Black Ops style, with them all in that old mansion, planning missions. So much so I gotta think the writers had just played it :P

I will, I enjoyed the first series a bunch so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
 
I've watched 2 or 3 episodes, so far it's fine. Chris Pratt isn't in it a ton though, this appears very much to be Taylor Kitsch's season, where in The Terminal List he was the side guy. This is his story this time around.

They are also setting up Raife Hastings, who should be a big player in later seasons of TTL, and I'm assuming Landry and Mo in TTL season 2.

I think they are also replacing others for more dramatic impact Eliza will sub out for Aliya, for example.

These are all book spoilers, nothing critical but hidden in case you don't want to know who is likely to live in Dark Wolf. (i.e that perky boobed tech girl is toast :P)
 
I went back and rewatched ep1 after ep2 and it holds up a lot better when you can see where it is going and the tracks it's laying down a bit better.

Always a struggle with these middle east terrorist shows (same with russian bratva stuff, TBH) with all these names and somewhat similar looking dour bearded guys to keep them all separate. Throw in a lot of white military looking dudes and characters blend a lot.
 
I gotta say, with Lioness, Seal Team, and and now Ep4, big long battles with suppressed weapons just doesn't have the punch of rolling thunder. One place where technical/tactical accuracy could maybe give way to audience enjoyment :P

Think I saw Jack Carr getting smoked in the lead car as well :P

Taylor Kitsch shooting dozens and dozens of shots, single fire from an MP5K looked so ridiculous like some amateur backyard movie made with Airsoft weapons. And it's so weird considering the team were just seen unloading boxes full of modern gear and somehow this 50 year old relic ends up being used.

But for the rest it's pretty cool.

I've shot a full auto MP5K before, it definitely works better as a giant single fire pistol than it does as a full auto submachine gun. They had SO MANY guys on them though, like 3-4 on the bridge directly over head, no way they should have survived. But it was a fun scene and the ending....damn shoulda seen that coming :P

Speaking of guns, just watched A Working Man with statham and in the end he is running around, INSIDE A HOUSE, with a full length M14 with a giant thermal scope. WTF approved that? He uses the scope once to spot a guy outside, but kills him with a suppressed pistol. Then he has this incredibly awkward fight sequence through the house with that boat oar of a rifle. At least give him a SOCOM with a dot sight!

Still, nice to see the old girl get some love. Not many films use the M-14 and it's one of my favorite battle rifles.
 
Well, that episode has raised the yearly murder count of Switzerland (around 50) by a lot. Imagine being on duty that day with the local forensics team and having to deal with dozens of bodies and hundreds of bullets fired.
This is like the 10th show/movie where you have these massive shootours in busy European cities and depending on the budget it ends with the cops joining the fight and all getting killed to leave only the hero left standing or, for lower budget shows, the sirens coming in at the end of the fight.

No kidding. That netflix movie The Grey Man had a FULL ON BATTLE in some european town square with hordes of cops getting mowed down, insane. Bond has done it as well.

That stuff would be the #1 crime event OF THE DECADE in europe, though sadly just a wednesday night here in the wild States.
