While its sensibilities may make more politically sensitive, liberal-minded viewers a bit uncomfortable, the series can simply appeal to fans of action and conspiracy thrillers. It almost exhaustively discusses 'brotherhood' and 'doing the right thing,' and is very concerned with moral values (violence, on the other hand, is treated as a necessity rather than an ethical problem). The Terminal List manages to criticize aspects of corruption within the military and the government while also outright honoring and respecting them as American institutions. However, it's fundamentally Pratt's platform.

This very funny actor (from Fresh Off the Boat and Crazy Rich Asians) also sheds all her comedic timing and instead sinks into the darkness of this show. Constance Wu is also excellent as a journalist who alternates between believing Reece's grand narrative of political conspiracies and fearing him as a mentally disturbed soldier on a killing spree. Taylor Kitsch is phenomenal as one of the few trusted friends Reece has left in the world, and even the bitter reviews that panned the show point out his soulfulness and magnetic appeal. Nonetheless, The Terminal List remains entertaining (in a morbid and somewhat depressing way) throughout. When the series finally veers into certainty, it loses that fascinating ambiguity. Having Reece be an unreliable narrator gives an added weight to the action sequences and (many) kill scenes they become almost queasy with ambivalence, interrogating the murky ethics of revenge thrillers themselves. That kind of gray area is interesting and makes the audience and other characters' relationship with Reece much more complex, and also sets Reece apart from the typical vengeance-thirsty heroes of John Wick, Kill Bill, and Taken. The Terminal List is arguably at its best when the viewer isn't entirely sure if Reece is a vindicated protagonist or a mentally deteriorating madman with a reality-shattering brain tumor.
