Additionally, while a viewer might be able to accept that a Navy SEAL with his experience could have a different way of expressing and processing grief, Pratt's performance of grief is very much that, a performance. His try-hard here is so loud that you can all but hear his inner dialogue telling him to act.

In scenes where Reece is supposed to be dissociating or locked in an out-of-sync memory, Pratt seems more like he's been fully lobotomized. That makes sense, but in Pratt's hands, it comes off stilted. Without getting too deeply into spoilers, part of the issues compounding Reece's story is that he's dealing with genuine issues of memory as well as PTSD from what he experienced during the ambush. The rest of the time, though, he seems to struggle his way through the role. Don't get me wrong: it's very obvious that Pratt is trying his best to give Reece the ferocity and reverence the character deserves and there are moments when he pulls off a cool, methodical energy that is downright chilling to watch.

The primary issues with The Terminal List rest on Pratt.

But premise plus star power isn't strong enough glue here. Beyond Pratt, the series also stars Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Sean Gunn, LaMonica Garrett, and more. It's a great premise and the series is packed with some great performers. However, it soon comes to light that there's a vast and complex conspiracy working against him that endangers not only his own life, but the lives of those he loves, prompting him to deal with the situation personally. Reece returns home, but soon finds his recollection of how things went down questioned and even begins to question his own memories. The Terminal List stars Chris Pratt as James Reece, a SEAL commander whose entire platoon dies after being ambushed during a high-stakes and highly covert mission.
