I've been seeing them for several weeks on various social media apps. I don't watch much live TV though.

Binged Season 1 last two days. Chalk it up as one of those shows that you don't think is THAT great, but can't stop watching? Still really good, don't get me wrong but had a few gripes.

Either way, definitely in for this season. Not too familiar with Amazon season drops. They drop all the episodes at once, yeah?

Next on my list. Good to hear though. I always take spin offs with a grain of salt these days.

Wait so there is a S1 and prequel series and now S2 right.

Should I watch the prequel first or just go with release order?

This is the first I've seen of this but given who is in it I'm watching for sure.

Having a prequel after season one of Terminal List is strange as you know what's going to happen to the main character.

If you have not watched Terminal List season one yet, I would watch Dark Wolf first than season one.

I actually disagree with this and I'm usually militant about watching stuff in chronological order.

I think Dark Wolf is much more impactful watching it after Terminal List S1.

Dark Wolf is awesome; I think it's arguably better than Terminal List S1.

I don't remember everything exactly, but I feel like you'd get some spoilers if watching them out of order from the release dates. And also Dark Wolf would seem less impactful.

No. Usually the first 2-3 in week one and the rest weekly after that. So it takes like 6 weeks. ****ing sucks.

All episodes dropping tomorrow! Hell yes, no waiting a week between episodes!

Agree. The right order is as aired. Terminal List setup this question of how did Ben turn out that way. Dark Wolf does a good job of providing why without turning him into a victim. Also the show introduces you to Mo and Raife who will play bigger roles in this coming season.

Started the binge last night. Loving it so far. Wild to see the older actor that plays Hastings is still in the game. I remember him from the Brendan Frazier Mummy movies.

They've changed a few things from the book, but that is to be expected. Especially the opening attack in London

That's Hastings' dad. His son will show up later. I saw the first episode and was shocked by the twist. Didn't see that coming, but I haven't read the books.

Welp, binged it all over last two days. Pro of being sick I guess.

Just going to say it. Much better than S1 IMO, and I enjoyed S1. Better budget and tighter story.

The ending of episode 6. Almost had to turn away.

Two episodes in, good start. Things are about to ramp up.

Who would win in a fight, James Reece or Harry from Mobland? What a clash that would be.

Raife would be more than a handful as well.

Having read the books and watched these shows, I recommend watching in release order, S1, Dark Wolf, S2.

The twists and character development will be more impactful.

We're 5 episodes in and this is the best season by far in my opinion. Maybe even of these type of genres currently (reachers, terminalist, etc)

I missed something, Arnold Vosloo plays Rich Hastings, who is Raife's uncle in the books. Jonathan Hastings has a giant ranching and real estate empire in Montana in the books and is Raife's father.

They have changed a lot from the books in S1 and S2, but the story flows and does it well. I think that speaks to having Jack Carr as an Exec Producer and contributing to the writing and story arc.

Started this last night. Really liking it so far...more so than the first season.

I still can't get past Katie. She's supposed to be a blonde 'girt next door' type...but they completely re-cast her, and the actress is terrible. I think I could get past them turning Katie into an Asian woman, if she was good...but she is not a good actress. My only complaint with the show...

This, 100%.

The whole rewrite on looks/nationality/background was just baffling to me in S1. Also, in S1, frankly, she was a bit of a shady character; completely unlike the book counterpart. I had hoped they would have just done a do over for S2; but no. Still trying to make her relevant in S2...and they did one of the things I hate most. After a few months of range work (on her own); she suddenly wins a gun fight with former special ops hit men...good lord.

Not sure I really liked the whole new arc for Raiffe...gun runner with a heart? Just unnecessary. Many of the other changes were not really a factor one way or the other...I just wonder why they did them...

I thought the main arc with Mo, Landry, Andrenov, Freddy, Grey was really good. And they kept some of the things in I thought would get edited out (Landry's end like the book).

Ready for book 3; with a different Buranek

I need to see more of these guys in the show! Just kidding. I'm a big fan of the books, and I'm mostly happy with how the show has been adapted so far. I don't particularly care for Katie, but I'll let it slide. My wife is from Zimbabwe and she said that Raife's accent was "pretty good". That's high praise coming from her.

I thought the middle parts of the season were the best, but the last couple episodes were a bit too predictable and the writing too convenient for me. While not bad, they didn't really have that bit of "extra something" I was wanting to close out the season. I suppose the long wrap up in the last episode didn't help with that either.

The last episode was a long setup for either Season 3 or the Tom Reece books. Hopefully, Season 3.

I was talking out loud predicting everything in the 2.'d to last episode with all the action and my wife was thinking I wrote the show….

lol just said it's pretty predictable Hollywood writing.

That said this was definitely my favorite season and maybe maybe even favorite show in the last two years. Definitely in this genre

And some Robert Earle Keen in Episode 5! That was a nice touch.

Watching American Primeval and Terminal List Dark Wolf back to back gave me a newfound appreciation for Taylor Kitsch. Nails both rolls.
