Top 5 Shows Like ‘The Terminal List’ to Watch Now
Chris Pratt has had quite a year. In the past several months, he has starred in Jurassic World: Dominion and appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder. Now he’s starring in The Terminal List, streaming on Prime Video. In the action-packed series, Pratt plays Lieutenant Commander James Reece. His platoon suffers a deadly ambush on a covert mission, racking Reece with guilt. It sends him searching for the perpetrators, and soon he realizes there’s more to the story than meets the eye. He uncovers government secrets, conspiracies, and foul play that could endanger not only his life but also his family.
