A Lista Terminal: Lobo Negro

I saw many people talking about good the action on this show is and now I can say it deserves all the praise that its receiving from action fans. The scenes are so well build, the tension is just inevitable and my heart was definitely beating faster at some moments. Great pace, the fights choreography is so good!

I really liked the cast, Taylor is a great lead. Maybe the only thing that threw me off a bit was a few of Hastings scenes. Sometimes it was hard to understand exactly what he was thinking and feeling. I am not sure why.

Dark Wolf takes the Terminal List universe to a darker, more psychological place - and it absolutely delivers. Centered on Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch), the conflicted Navy SEAL who becomes a CIA operative, this prequel dives into the moral decay and personal sacrifices that define his path long before James Reece's story begins.

Taylor Kitsch gives one of his best performances yet - restrained, haunted, and magnetic. Tom Hopper's Raife Hastings adds grit and humanity, grounding the story in loyalty and brotherhood. The action is tense and authentic, shot with striking realism and clarity, while the writing adds emotional depth rarely seen in military thrillers.

Yes, the core ingredients - covert ops, double agents, black ops moral grayness - are familiar. But Dark Wolf executes them with such precision and confidence that it feels brand-new. The cinematography, pacing, and tone are all top-tier, pushing the franchise to new creative heights.

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is smart, savage, and emotionally resonant - a gripping prequel that proves this world still has a lot of fight left in it.

Verdict: Brutal, beautiful, and brilliantly acted. Dark Wolf is Prime Video's best shot yet, which brings the question - how good the sequel of the original series is going to be?

A little more towards the espionage end of the special forces shooting guns spectrum, compared to the earlier incarnation. There are a fair few twists and turns. But there is still a lot of action to quench that thirst. The first episode was a little slow, but the pace picked up and completely hooked me in. It's very bingeworthy. Taylor Kitch's character Ben Edwards grew. As a prequel, it is easily as good as, if not better than, the first Terminal List. The only issue is that you hear "brother" rather a lot, oh, and "moving". And towards the end of the season, you might get a little tired of hearing about moving brothers. Other than that, a most enjoyable addition to the franchise.

Overall, it's an excellent series! Taylor Kitsch's performance is extremely convincing and perfectly suited to the role.

The plot isn't anything overly complex or full of twists, but it's exactly what we expect from this genre. The story doesn't ignore moral compasses or personalities; in fact, it respects the nature of each character, their motivations, traumas, and backgrounds that shape their actions throughout the series.

However, towards the end, a few specific scenes weren't very convincing to me, but it was only a couple, maybe two or three. Still, it's a solid 9!

Dark Wolf delivers a powerful and emotional prequel that goes far beyond a typical military action series.

The story focuses on Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch), a soldier torn between loyalty and morality. From start to finish, you can feel the weight of his guilt, trauma, and inner conflict beneath that calm surface.

The cinematography is stunning - dark, grounded, and full of atmosphere. The soundtrack is beautifully haunting, perfectly matching the tone of the story. The action scenes are impactful not because of the explosions, but because of the emotional scars they leave behind.

The only downside lies in the slow pacing (especially episodes 1-3) and the heavy military/political dialogue, which can be tough to follow at times. But once the story hits episode 5 onward, everything intensifies - emotionally, visually, and narratively.

Overall, Dark Wolf doesn't just expand The Terminal List universe - it deepens it. It's raw, tragic, and profoundly human.
