Production

In early April 2020, it was reported that the series, starring Chris Pratt, was in development, and seeking out a distributor.^[3] In early May 2020, it was reported that Amazon Prime Video landed the series and Amazon Studios would be joining the series as production studio and the series was in the process of assembling a writers room.^[4] Taylor Kitsch,^[5] Constance Wu,^[6] Jeanne Tripplehorn,^[7] Riley Keough,^[8] and Pratt's brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger would join the cast in early 2021.^[9] In June 2021, LaMonica Garrett, Alexis Louder, Tom Amandes,^[10] JD Pardo,^[11] Christina Vidal Mitchell, Jared Shaw,^[12] Catherine Dyer,^[13] and Remi Adeleke joined the cast in recurring capacities while Arlo Mertz was cast as a series regular.^[14] In July 2021, Jai Courtney joined in a recurring role.^[15]

Release

The series premiered on July 1, 2022.^[2]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 43% approval rating with an average rating of 5.6/10, based on reviews from 46 critics. The website's critics consensus reads, "While Chris Pratt fully commits himself to The Terminal List's mission, this thriller's unrelenting gruffness is no meat and all potatoes."^[18] Metacritic gave it a weighted average score of 40 out of 100 based on reviews from 25 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".^[19] CinemaBlend.com summarized the reviews saying critics agree the series was firmly in the "Shows For Dads" genre.^[20]

Dave Nemetz of TVLine panned the series, calling it "punishingly grim and hopelessly boneheaded." He criticized the series' plot and direction, writing, "the action is bloody but not exciting, and the story is bewildering but not interesting. In between, we get saccharine family scenes and a paint-by-numbers conspiracy that gets more complicated but not any more compelling."^[21] Daniel D'Addario of Variety called it "a dour, miserable sit, one that would be tough to take as a two-hour film, and has been inexplicably ‘roided up to eight hours."^[22] Dan Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter described the series as overcooked, taking "eight hours for a book that easily could have been adapted in two hours".^[23]

Liam Mathews of TV Guide rated series 7 out of 10, and compared it to other Amazon Prime Video series Bosch, Reacher and Jack Ryan, saying "These shows aren't chasing Emmys, they just want to entertain with a twisty plot, some thrilling action set pieces, and a mildly complex main character. They're also three of the service's most popular and successful shows. Prime Video's latest series, The Terminal List, fits that dad-friendly bill to a T. By the humble standards of the genre, The Terminal List is a smashing success."^[24]
