I just binge-watched the first 3 episodes, since that was all they released (so far). I WANT MORE!!!
I has been like a reunion of sorts to be reunited with the characters that we know and love from the books, and to see such an incredible story written just for the show that treats the first season and the book with respect, while still standing on its own!
The acting in this is terrific. Tom embodies the fan-favorite, Raife, in a way I didn't think was going to be possible (great job, dude) Loved him in Black Sails, and this blows that performance away. Dar brings Mo to life & Luke does Landry in such a way that I cannot picture Landry as anyone else now!! I was already looking forward to True Believer & even more so now! Boozer!!!! Jared Shaw returning as Boozer just makes me smile, because I wanted more Boozer in Terminal List. LaMonica Garrett was underutilized in Terminal List season 1. He's a significant talent, as proven in 1882. Seeing him reprise his role in such a strong way is also flat-out fantastic!!
Let's not forget about the ladies of the show, either. Shiraz and Rona-Lee are both so believable and strong in their performances.
Jack Carr must be one of the nicest, most loyal people alive. Or, Chris Pratt is. Or both. I love how they brought back the cast from Season 1, and how they continue to support those who supported them; as well as continue to develop these characters that us fans have invested in & grown obsessed with.
If you like Historical fiction mixed with military and spy-movie qualities - THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU! Best thing out there!
