The Terminal List: Dark Wolf

Too bad I had to read the reviews where people couldn't get over that the prequel is Iraq or James Reece shows up (no way, he was actually somewhere before the future storyline?). Shows a lack of intelligence or in depth thinking of the post "Dark Wolf" story. There are so many parallels to the future Termial List if you pay attention while watching it. Too many people have to draw criticisms of an actors political beliefs or where the story takes place. Watch the future Terminal List, pay attention and don't be a pansy.

A fresh take on The Terminal List universe, shifting the spotlight to the original series' main bad guy Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch) and making him the protagonist. Who are we kidding, it's hard not to like Kitsch in anything, even when he's playing the bad guy.

Without giving away spoilers, Ben's story takes an unexpected turn after a SEAL mission goes sideways, forcing him into a more clandestine role that plays perfectly to his skillset. The first episode does a great job setting this up and establishes Dark Wolf as a completely different beast than Chris Pratt's Terminal List, which was an excellent series.

Performances and pacing are spot on. No filler, no dragged-out exposition, easy pitfalls for prequels and military ops thrillers. Tight storytelling from start to finish.

Bonus points for the soundtrack choice. I'm loving the use of metal band outros in sync with the final credits. Alien Earth is doing this too and I'm feeling amped as the credits roll. I'm liking this trend.

Looking forward to the rest of this series.

As someone who loves special forces stories, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf completely blew me away. It's packed with authenticity from the CQB (close-quarters battle) action to the tactical decision-making that feels like it came straight from real-world operations. The attention to detail in weapons, strategy, and gear is exactly what makes this story stand out.

Jack Carr has once again proven he can combine heart-pounding realism with storytelling that keeps you hooked from start to finish. If you're into military thrillers, tactical realism, or just want an action-packed ride with substance, this is a must-watch.

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!

Dark wolf is off the charts!! Taylor Kitsch is amazing in this Role as Ben Edward's!! Taylor talent is incredible, his talent and charisma on the screen is absolutely epic!! Kitsch betrayal of a Navy seal is absolutely breathtaking and true to heart!! His character would make any American Navy Seal proud!!! Each episode is better than the next!!Great acting, great writing, great action and absolutely five stars!! Watch it you won't be disappointed.!!
