The 2022 thriller was a streaming success for Prime, but even though the streamer wanted a second series, Pratt was booked solid on gigs like <em>The Electric State<\/em> and <em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s become something of a golden age for <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/action-thriller-shows-better-reacher\/\" target=\"_blank\">action thriller shows<\/a>, thanks to the likes of<em> The Night Agent<\/em>, <em>The Day Of The Jackal <\/em>and many more. <em>The Terminal List <\/em>itself is notable for being just as focused on setpieces as it is on story, and like the Jack Carr novel that inspired it, the action flows organically instead of being jammed in for the sake of it.<\/p>\n<p>That said, <em>The Terminal List<\/em> isn&#8217;t without its problems. The plotting could be very knotty and convoluted, and its dark, murky look drew some justified critiques.

Instead, this prequel follows his former bestie and fellow SEAL, Ben (Taylor Kitsch), as he gets sucked into the world of CIA black ops.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Terminal List: Dark Wolf<\/em> feels like feedback in action, and improved on the original show in many areas. The action is slicker and hits harder, Ben is a more flawed and compelling protagonist, and the cinematography is, thankfully, much sleeker. While not based on any of Carr&#8217;s books, <em>Dark Wolf<\/em> still very much feels like part of the same world.<\/p>\n<p>Its seven-episode run is more propulsive too. Pratt makes a guest appearance as Reece, though he only appears in a handful of episodes. <em>Dark Wolf <\/em>was another success for Prime, and showed that audiences hadn&#8217;t forgotten about <em>The Terminal List<\/em> after such a long break.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"lioness\">\n            <span class=\"item-num\">4 <\/span><br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n                            Lioness<br \/>\n                    <\/span><br \/>\n       <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;MovieStills DB&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Zoe Saldana as Joe with an army vest on in Lioness Episode 2x8.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/zoe-saldana-as-joe-in-lioness-episode-2x8.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Zoe Saldana as Joe with an army vest on in Lioness Episode 2&#215;8.<\/figcaption><small class=\"body-img-caption\">MovieStills DB<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/taylor-sheridan-tv-shows-renewed-future-seasons\/\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Sheridan&#8217;s TV empire<\/a> consists of heavy-hitters like <em>Yellowstone<\/em> or <em>The Madison<\/em>, but <em>Lioness<\/em> is one of his most enjoyable.

This group traveled the world, battling an assortment of colorful villains (often played by <em>Game of Thrones <\/em>alums like Charles Dance or Iain Glen) and generally saving the day.<\/p>\n<p><em>Strike Back<\/em> was renowned for its action sequences and stunt work, often eschewing CGI for practical effects. Great as the action was, it was anchored by a very likable cast, including Sullivan Stapleton, Philip Winchester and Alin Sumarwata, and it was often just as much fun hanging around with the team. The show ran for eight seasons between 2010 and 2020, and is absolutely worth seeking out for genre fans.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"reacher\">\n            <span class=\"item-num\">2 <\/span><br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n                            Reacher<br \/>\n                    <\/span><br \/>\n       <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jack Reacher climbing a metal structure\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/untitled-design-2026-07-29t220426-983.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Jack Reacher climbing a metal structure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> No list of modern action thrillers would be complete without <em>Reacher<\/em>.

Alan Ritchson \u2014 a 6\u20192\u201d former Titans star and onetime American Idol contestant \u2014 became the definitive on-screen Reacher. Lee Child publicly blessed the casting. Tom Cruise famously played Reacher in the 2012 and 2016 films to book-fan outrage (Cruise is 5\u20197\u201d). Ritchson\u2019s physical presence is exactly what the source material demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong lead! The answer is Alan Ritchson. Tom Cruise\u2019s 2012\/2016 Reacher films were panned by book fans specifically for his height (5\u20197\u201d vs. book Reacher\u2019s 6\u20195\u201d). Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill have the build but aren\u2019t the guy \u2014 Ritchson (6\u20192\u201d, former Titans lead) was Amazon\u2019s course-correction and Lee Child personally endorsed him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"rch-btn-next\" for=\"rch-s2\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q2: Author --><\/p>\n<section class=\"rch-slide rch-sl2\">\n<div class=\"rch-question-card\">\n<p>02<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"rch-question-text\">The Reacher TV series is based on a sprawling book franchise that has sold over 100 million copies worldwide \u2014 now 28+ novels deep.

Since 2020 he\u2019s been co-writing (and handing over to) his brother Andrew, who now writes the novels solo under the \u201cAndrew Child\u201d name.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong lead! The answer is Lee Child \u2014 pen name of Jim Grant. Michael Connelly writes the Harry Bosch\/Mickey Haller novels. James Patterson writes the Alex Cross series (and roughly a book a month). John Grisham writes legal thrillers. Grant started Reacher in 1997 after being fired from British TV, and the series has since sold over 100 million copies worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"rch-btn-next\" for=\"rch-s3\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q3: Military Background --><\/p>\n<section class=\"rch-slide rch-sl3\">\n<div class=\"rch-question-card\">\n<p>03<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"rch-question-text\">Before becoming a drifter, Jack Reacher spent thirteen years in the U.S. military running an elite special investigations unit nicknamed the 110th.

Reacher reached the rank of Major in the U.S. Army Military Police, commanding the 110th Special Investigations Unit \u2014 essentially the Army\u2019s elite internal-affairs\/criminal-investigation outfit for serious cases across the globe. The 110th is the backbone of multiple storylines (especially Season 2, adapted from Bad Luck and Trouble, where his old unit is being hunted one by one).<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong lead! The answer is Army Military Police Major. Reacher\u2019s entire professional identity is built around the 110th MP Special Investigations Unit \u2014 not SEALs, Marines, or CIA. He reached Major before being involuntarily demoted to Captain late in his career, a sore point referenced throughout the books and show.

Season 1 premiered in February 2022 and was renewed for Season 2 within four days. Amazon has greenlit a Neagley spin-off starring Maria Sten, plus multiple future seasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong lead! The answer is Amazon Prime Video. Netflix has Jack Ryan rivals but not Reacher. Apple TV+ has Slow Horses. Peacock runs Bosch: Legacy \u2014 a separate thriller franchise.

Reacher steps off a Greyhound in search of a long-dead blues musician (Blind Blake) and ends up tearing the whole town\u2019s operation apart. The fictional town mirrors the real Georgia setting of the 1997 source novel.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong lead! The answer is Margrave, Georgia. Lincoln, Nebraska is from 61 Hours. Hope, Colorado is from Nothing to Lose. Bolton, South Dakota is from 61 Hours too. Margrave is specifically the Killing Floor town \u2014 Lee Child\u2019s 1997 debut \u2014 and where Alan Ritchson\u2019s Reacher steps off a bus looking for a musician and finds a counterfeiting conspiracy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"rch-btn-next\" for=\"rch-s6\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q6: Book for S1 --><\/p>\n<section class=\"rch-slide rch-sl6\">\n<div class=\"rch-question-card\">\n<p>06<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"rch-question-text\">Unlike most TV adaptations, Reacher tackles a single Lee Child novel per season \u2014 a storytelling choice fans widely praised.

Killing Floor (1997) \u2014 the very first Reacher novel, and Lee Child\u2019s debut as a writer. Showrunner Nick Santora adapted it faithfully for Season 1 in 2022. Season 2 adapted Bad Luck and Trouble (book 11, the 110th reunion), Season 3 adapted Persuader (book 7, undercover op), and the upcoming Season 4 is Gone Tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong lead! The answer is Killing Floor (1997) \u2014 the first book in the series. One Shot (book 9) was adapted into Tom Cruise\u2019s 2012 film. Never Go Back was the 2016 Cruise sequel. The Midnight Line is a later novel.

Joe Reacher worked for the U.S. Treasury Department, specifically investigating currency counterfeiting \u2014 historically accurate, since the Secret Service (then under Treasury) handled counterfeiting cases until being moved under Homeland Security in 2003. The Kliner Foundation\u2019s operation in Margrave is what Joe was tracking when he was killed, setting the entire Season 1 mystery in motion.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong lead! The answer is the U.S. Treasury. Counterfeiting investigations historically sat with Treasury\u2019s Secret Service arm (until it moved to Homeland Security in 2003 \u2014 the 1997 book and show both honour that era). FBI handles different federal crimes, DEA is drugs, ATF is guns\/explosives.

Alan Ritchson is 6\u20192\u201d (still not quite 6\u20195\u201d, but dramatically closer to the source).

The answer is 6\u20195\u201d (and roughly 250 pounds). Lee Child describes Reacher this way on practically every book cover, which is exactly why Tom Cruise\u2019s 5\u20197\u201d casting was so infamously mocked. Alan Ritchson is 6\u20192\u201d \u2014 still three inches under \u2014 but bulked up to ~240 pounds, making him the closest physical match Reacher has ever had on screen.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"rch-btn-next\" for=\"rch-sR\">REVEAL MY SCORE \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- RESULTS --><\/p>\n<section class=\"rch-slide rch-slR\">\n<p>\n        <span class=\"rch-result-label\">File Closed \u00b7 Case Resolved<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"rch-result-title\">Your Investigator Rank<\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<div class=\"rch-score-box\">\n        <span class=\"rch-score-icon\">\ud83c\udf96<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n          <span class=\"rch-score-num\"\/><span class=\"rch-score-of\"> \/ 8<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"rch-score-msg\">110th Special Investigator \u2014 or still waiting on the Greyhound?<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n<p><label class=\"rch-btn-restart\" for=\"rch-s0\">\u2934 DRIFT AGAIN<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s often a murder\/mystery element, mixed with lots of action, one-liners and even romance.

On that score, in terms of sheer entertainment value and variety of action, <strong><em>Reacher<\/em><\/strong> comes out on top.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"24\">\n            <span class=\"item-num\">1 <\/span><br \/>\n        <span><br \/>\n                            24<br \/>\n                    <\/span><br \/>\n       <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;MovieStillsDB&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jack Bauer holding a handgun in 24 promo shot\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/24_mjomzf.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Jack Bauer holding a handgun in 24 promo shot.<\/figcaption><small class=\"body-img-caption\">MovieStillsDB<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>24<\/em> is one of the most groundbreaking TV shows of all time, from its shocking deaths and plot twists to its unique, real-time format. On paper, this Kiefer Sutherland-fronted thriller sounded like a total gimmick, where each episode represented an hour in a given day. In practice, it made for addictive viewing, as Sutherland&#8217;s beleaguered CTU agent Jack Bauer (and his various allies) had to constantly beat the clock to stop terror attacks.<\/p>\n<p><em>24<\/em> could be dark and unsparing, and became infamous for killing off beloved characters when audiences least expected it. Jack himself may have had plot armor, but given the amount of loss and trauma he suffered throughout the show&#8217;s run, it never felt like he walked away unscathed either.<\/p>\n<p>The real-time formula brought issues to the show, including the occasional episode that felt like padding until the next big revelation. At its peak, <strong><em>2<em><strong>4<\/strong><\/em> <\/em><\/strong>is a masterpiece; an elaborate, taut and addictive piece of television that was all the more impressive for how difficult it must have been to write and produce.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"w-display-card-list w-display-card-list-screen even-cards\">\n<li class=\"display-card-element\">\n<div class=\"display-card type-screen large\"
