US Edition‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ Team Breaks Down Brotherhood & Betrayal of Premiere
The prequel series highlights 2015 military and CIA operations training local forces against ISIS and targeting Iran amid nuclear deal negotiations.
- Set circa 2015 in Mosul, Iraq, Ben Edwards and James Reece train local recruits; soon after, they learn ISIS leader Hamid Al-Jabouri caused Daran's family's death, prompting plans for retaliation.
- Recruited in Frankfurt, Germany, CIA bigwig Jed Haverford pitches Reece and Ben Edwards a fast-moving mission framed as part of a broader effort against the Islamic Republic of Iran amid nuclear talks.
- The show foregrounds macho aggression by normalizing righteous violence and civilian collateral damage in multiple shootouts, while military brass objects to Ben Edwards' summary execution and CIA contractor Jules Landry sexually harasses colleagues.
- Stripped of their SEAL Tridents, Ben Edwards and Raife Hastings become available to organizations comfortable with moral gray areas, while the agency protects Hamid Al-Jabouri and plans to 'burn' him as an ISIS target.
- Joining Amazon Prime Video's muscular action slate, critics argue Dark Wolf favors a blunt U.S. good-versus-evil posture over nuanced geopolitics, while the Dark Wolf creative team frames it as a Light Wolf/Dark Wolf origin parable.
