Chris Pratt has a message for woke reviewers of his new Amazon Prime Video
project �The Terminal List,� which has received negative critic reviews
despite audiences being overwhelmingly receptive to the Navy SEAL-focused
thriller.

Pratt shared the link to a Daily Mail report comparing �The Terminal List� to
�Yellowstone,� which is another critically panned drama that audiences love
to watch. The title of the article reads, �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.�

The actor posted the article to his Instagram stories over the weekend,
followed by a photo of Dr. Evil from the �Austin Powers� franchise with the
caption, �One point six BILLLLLLLLLION minutes,� reiterating just how popular
the project is with fans.

�The Terminal List� follows Pratt depicting Navy SEAL commander James Reece
as he embarks on a mission to find out who killed his platoon and get revenge
on them. Rotten Tomatoes reports an average rating of 40/100 from critics but
94/100 from viewers.

Daniel Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter described it as �the
entertainment equivalent of a charred hockey puck, with the same limited
range of flavor and aesthetics.�

But the audiences just don�t agree.

�As a veteran I appreciate their efforts to make this as realistic as
possible,� one Rotten Tomatoes reviewer wrote. Several other reviewers said
the show depicted the military as it really was rather than the typical
Hollywood version.

�An awesome show, Chris Pratt is fantastic, as a non-right winger this show
is for everyone,� another agreed.

�It�s a universal truth of Rotten Tomatoes, if the �critics� hate it� and the
audience loves it (over 95% positive) then it is a GUARANTEED hit. That�s the
case here� this show was excellent! One of the few new shows that I had to
binge because you wanted to know what happened next!� someone else shared.

�Great tv series! Awesome to see a modern production showing real men and
some traditional values � loyalty, courage, duty, family, overcoming
hardship. Hope studios take note of what the public really want, in total
opposition to the critics, who are mainly elitist ideologues,� one reviewer
shared.

The official Instagram page for the show shared last month that �The Terminal
List� was the number one show on Prime Video.

The fact that woke critics are calling it "dad tv" only makes me want to watch it more.

And not one character in the show announces his pronouns, either.

I wasn't all that impressed when I focus group tested it, but that's because
it's not my thing. It seemed well-made, tho.

Shows like this need only two pronouns, really ...'us' and 'them'.

Meanwhile, the more favorable among these pro critics sum it well:

Yep, that doesn't make a lick of sense either.
