“Mayans MC” star JD Pardo, who plays FBI agent Tony Layun, told The Post he “challenged” himself by being immersed in the world of ex-Navy SEALs.
“It’s a great story by Jack Carr, a great book series, and just an all-star cast. Chris, Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch … it just goes on,” said Pardo. “I really wanted to be part of that, because it’s inspiring to work with that kind of talent. We had a lot of fun on that set.”
The show’s official Instagram account divulged last month that it was the number one TV series on Prime Video over the July Fourth weekend.
On Rotten Tomatoes, watchers revealed their thoughts about Pratt’s newest series.
“‘The Terminal List’ is a classic American fantasy about the goodness of the SEALs, the corruption of high-level government officials and corporate shills, and the purifying quality of righteous violence,” one critic noted on the website.

“Action-packed series with a great story. We need more series like this one that captures that hero figure like Matt Damon as Jason Bourne,” a fan commented on the site.
“Binge watched this on recent vacation. A throwback suspenseful serial with tons of action. Critics who are bashing this are likely the same ones who now say how great the original ‘A Team’ and ‘Magnum PI’ series from the 80s were,” one viewer penned. “They live in a vapid echo chamber entirely devoid of heart and reason. Is this the best series ever. No, but as far as streaming series go, this is top notch.”
