After a four-year wait, Prime Video's hit action thriller, The Terminal List, finally returned to our screens this week – and viewers have wasted no time getting stuck into the new episodes. 

The new eight-part series sees Chris Pratt reprise his role as Navy SEAL Commander, James Reece, as he uncovers an international conspiracy with ties to his own family history. 

Expectations were naturally sky-high among fans, who had been eagerly anticipating the new season for over four years. In the interim, the global franchise has captivated more than 100 million viewers, boosted by the launch of its prequel spin-off, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, in August last year.

Keep reading to find out what viewers have said about season two. 

What is The Terminal List about? 

Based on the best-selling novels of the same name, The Terminal List follows Navy SEAL Commander James Reece as he battles "unknown conspiratorial forces seeking to upend the world order". 

Season two is based on Carr's second novel, True Believer, in which James embarks on a journey of "violent redemption, finding a new purpose after finishing his list". 

The synopsis continues: "The psychological revenge thriller of Season One opens up into a globe-trotting espionage thriller taking Reece across the Indian Ocean, Southern and Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Reece will uncover a conspiracy that reaches from Moscow to Langley and ties into his own family's history."
