La lista final: Lobo negro

Dark Wolf takes the Terminal List universe to a darker, more psychological place - and it absolutely delivers. Centered on Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch), the conflicted Navy SEAL who becomes a CIA operative, this prequel dives into the moral decay and personal sacrifices that define his path long before James Reece's story begins.

Taylor Kitsch gives one of his best performances yet - restrained, haunted, and magnetic. Tom Hopper's Raife Hastings adds grit and humanity, grounding the story in loyalty and brotherhood. The action is tense and authentic, shot with striking realism and clarity, while the writing adds emotional depth rarely seen in military thrillers.

Yes, the core ingredients - covert ops, double agents, black ops moral grayness - are familiar. But Dark Wolf executes them with such precision and confidence that it feels brand-new. The cinematography, pacing, and tone are all top-tier, pushing the franchise to new creative heights.

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is smart, savage, and emotionally resonant - a gripping prequel that proves this world still has a lot of fight left in it.

Verdict: Brutal, beautiful, and brilliantly acted. Dark Wolf is Prime Video's best shot yet, which brings the question - how good the sequel of the original series is going to be?

Dark Wolf delivers a powerful and emotional prequel that goes far beyond a typical military action series.

The story focuses on Ben Edwards (Taylor Kitsch), a soldier torn between loyalty and morality. From start to finish, you can feel the weight of his guilt, trauma, and inner conflict beneath that calm surface.

The cinematography is stunning - dark, grounded, and full of atmosphere. The soundtrack is beautifully haunting, perfectly matching the tone of the story. The action scenes are impactful not because of the explosions, but because of the emotional scars they leave behind.

The only downside lies in the slow pacing (especially episodes 1-3) and the heavy military/political dialogue, which can be tough to follow at times. But once the story hits episode 5 onward, everything intensifies - emotionally, visually, and narratively.

Overall, Dark Wolf doesn't just expand The Terminal List universe - it deepens it. It's raw, tragic, and profoundly human.

First - really good consultants job: guns, movements, tactics, driving, radio talks - as expected - somebody put some time into that.

Second - "intelligence and spies" - pretty decent, especially when we are talking about SOF and not some sort of Jack-Ryan-the-analyst investigations and activity during the show.

Third - healthy level of (rare this days) masculinity. Brotherhood, sacrifices, help, support, revenge - all in close to reality forms, pleasure to watch.

I just finished watching The Terminal List: Dark Wolf and while it's not quite as good as the original with Chris Pratt, it's still really good and definitely worth your time to watch. Actually, some people might even enjoy this one more...it's that good. Dark Wolf is a prequel origin story of Taylor Kitsch's character, Ben Edwards. It shows his journey from the Navy Seals to his time working for the CIA Special Operations. Chris Pratt is also back in a smaller role. This is a gritty spy thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. If you like action you'll love this because it's full of it, it never lets up from the beginning to the end. I cannot recommend this series enough...I absolutely loved it.

Overall, it's an excellent series! Taylor Kitsch's performance is extremely convincing and perfectly suited to the role.

The plot isn't anything overly complex or full of twists, but it's exactly what we expect from this genre. The story doesn't ignore moral compasses or personalities; in fact, it respects the nature of each character, their motivations, traumas, and backgrounds that shape their actions throughout the series.

However, towards the end, a few specific scenes weren't very convincing to me, but it was only a couple, maybe two or three. Still, it's a solid 9!
