The Mrs. and I just finished episode 5, and we are enjoying it.
Binged it Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
Why don’t they make a movie out of it? I don’t have Amazon Prime but I love to go to a GOOD movie.
Thanks for the review. I was intrigued based on the preview for the series. Also liked Chris Pratt in the Amazon Prime movie “The Tomorrow War”.
I’m on the 2nd episode now. So far it’s very good.
Hubby and I just finished the 8th and last episode. It was awesome! Hope they continue and make another season from the second book in the series.
Just finished it.
Good story line and good acting.
Hopefully they develop a storyline for a 2nd season.
Was curious about this. Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I put it on my watchlist. Went back and have been binge watching H50 Classic with Jack Lord since it’s from my child and teen years.
The series I would LOVE for someone to get going with were the Vince Flynn Mitch Rapp books. I would love to see Rapp on screen - totally NON-PC Woke crap - find bad guys, kill bad guys. Period. Foreign or domestic.
They only made American Assassin.
Really great!
Just started today. Watching episode 2 right now.
Episode 1 now. Thanks.
Will check it out. Thanks.
I had just finished watching the movie “The Contractor” with Chris Pine when I started this series with Chris Pratt. I’m starting to sense a theme here...
Both were VERY good! I highly recommend them.
Is this based on how the squad that got Osama Bin Laden were forced to take Afghanis they didn't know on their helicopter before it crashed and wiped them all out?
I finished it in a 3-day binge yesterday. Terrific.
You guys have me convinced. Starting it right now
Terminal list was for me ok, but imho the directing and writing are flawed. each episode crawls along in slow motion. if you break it down, there are lots of flashbacks... imho too many flashbacks— that add nothing to what the audience already knows about the protagonist’s character.
it is odd that the series was released as a whole (or nearly so; i watched the first episode on july 1, and the remainder last evening). contrast this with bosch or let’s call saul, which released an episode per week. i think the reason that it was released en masse is because each episode by itself is overly drawn out.
pratt’s acting is rather good imho. however, the sidekick character ben is acted in a manner that imho is too derivative of the acting of keanu reeves.
in contrast i thought jeanne tripplehorn did a reasonably good acting job with the material she was given.
another plus is the photography, which makes extensive use of drones in live action shots. the locations are uniformly spectacular. finally the action sequences were for me very realistic.
i place the ultimate responsibility for the overly slow pace with the producers, which at least nominally includes pratt. let’s hope he chooses better writing/writers in future endeavors.
Through episode 6 and it is really first rate. Best I’ve seen in a long time. Having said that, episode 4 was too gruesome for me, a bit unnecessary so, IMO.
