‘You ain’t ready’: Chris Pratt tries to drum up excitement for the return of a TV series roundly trashed by critics

Can we at least expect a drastic upturn in quality?

Having conquered the big screen several times over as the star of a multitude of box office smash hits, Chris Pratt turned his attention back to the small screen as the star and executive producer of Prime Video’s The Terminal List.

Playing a hardened soldier caught in the throes of a massive conspiracy, the actor attempted to showcase a different side of his onscreen persona, which didn’t exactly go to plan when the series could only muster a critical approval rating of 39 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, in addition to barely making a splash on the Nielsen streaming ratings.

Amazon was happy with the numbers, though, because season 2 was confirmed not long after. It’s been exactly one year since The Terminal List premiered, and Pratt was happy to remind everyone of that fact on Instagram, in addition to touting that “you ain’t ready for what we have in store.”

Hopefully the sophomore run makes more of a splash, because as inoffensively diverting as The Terminal List was, it’s not exactly a show that sticks around in the memory and leaves you thinking about it long after the fact. It was Prime Video’s bespoke form of “Dad TV” right down to a tee, which is enough for a lot of people – especially when you factor in a 95 percent user average on the aforementioned aggregation site – but it still fell well short for plenty of others.

Pratt has made a career out of proving his doubters wrong, though, so don’t be surprised if he does end up returning with a vengeance.
