From the London Daily Mail:
The new Yellowstone: Chris Pratt's new Navy thriller The Terminal List defies woke critics' scathing reviews to shoot up ratings chart with 1.6 BILLION minutes of streams
-
- While critics turned their noses up at 'The Terminal List,' viewers have loved the Chris Pratt-led series and made it the second-most watched show in the country
- The show stars Pratt as a US Navy Seal who returns home and tries to put together how and why his platoon were ambushed and killed
- Rotten Tomatoes showed an average rating of 40/100 by critics but a glowing 94/100 from viewers
- The contrast between critics and viewers is reminiscent of the reaction to 'Yellowstone,' a cowboy series also hated by critics but loved by viewers
- Pratt has drawn the ire from woke commentators over his devout Christianity and love of hunting, although he's never discussed his political views
One "critic"
They included The Hollywood Reporter writer Daniel Fienberg, who called it 'the entertainment equivalent of a charred hockey puck, with the same limited range of flavor and aesthetics.'
Of course, Mr. Fienberg's job is to promote the narrative so he is not in danger of unemployment. He will just raise another drink and commiserate with his buddies on the stupidity of the "rubes" in flyover country. Clueless. Utterly clueless.
Sounds like a good show. I like Chris Pratt as a person and as the characters he plays.
