Consolidation

Enjoying The Terminal List more and more. It took a short while to get on board with this one, but the ending made the episode worthwhile. I do my very best in not revealing any spoilers. I just tell as much as I can about my feelings for the episode. Also, I do not read any submitted reviews as I don't want to know about the content of the show.

This is another great episode and is getting better and better.

I'm a fan of Chris Pratt and I don't even SEE CHRIS PRATT anymore. I see his character and he does it very well. I would like to see Chris do the Mitch Rapp character if any additional movies come out.

The scenario in which the nudity occurs is totally unnecessary. The goal accomplished in that scene could have VERY easily, and believably, been achieved in a different situation/location.

I realize I may not speak for most, but I do speak for many, who consider gratuitous nudity just as harmful as gratuitous violence in today's media. Especially when displayed in scenarios such as seen in this episode.

Ep 3 represents a minor step back from Terminal List's previous high. This 7/10 effort shows M. J. Bassett struggling to match Ep 2's momentum. While conspiracy mechanics develop as Reece targets Capstone Industries VP Saul Agnon, pacing becomes uneven... methodical plotting occasionally tips into sluggishness.

Pratt's performance remains committed, yet Reece's systematic vengeance feels repetitive compared to his previous psychological complexity. The "hitlist" structure works procedurally but lacks the character-driven tension that made Ep 2 compelling. Katie's escalating danger adds stakes, though Wu's character development stalls.

The episode succeeds in grounding corporate villainy: Secretary Hartley's policy machinations feel authentically bureaucratic. However, the shift from action to boardroom politics loses some dramatic urgency. Character dynamics, while competent, lack Ep 2's crackling energy.

"Consolidation" proves improvement isn't always linear. The methodical approach builds sustainable tension but sacrifices emotional variation that made its predecessor shine. While conspiracy elements serve the plot effectively, execution feels more workmanlike than inspired.

A decent but disappointing follow-up. 7/10.

I've watched the whole of Terminal List. Overall, a great bit of TV. One of the best things I've seen Chris Pratt in. I found episode one a little confusing, and nearly bailed out. Episode 2 gave me enough to keep me onboard. Episode 3 is where the various threads start to come together, and the story builds from here onwards. It is, though, an advert for the US special forces and, like many others, the lead character Reece is indestructible. And the body count increases rapidly, and believability tanks as we approach the bloody climax. So it is just another version of stuff that has gone before. I good watchable version, but nothing unique.
