Our Take On Dark Wolf’s Release Window
Will It Improve On The Terminal List?
ThoughThe Terminal Listfared well with audiences and sports a 94% Popcornmeter score onRotten Tomatoes, critics were less impressed with the show, with their score coming in at only 40%.The series was criticized for feeling relatively predictable and for repeating the same tonal notes throughout, particularly when it comes to Reece and his unrelenting grief.
Kitsch’s performance as Edwards was arguably a bright spot in the show, and the character managed to strike a balance between being laid back and being able to get in on the action. By leaning into what makes Edwards unique as a character,there’s actually a chance thatDark Wolfwill end up being better than the original show, even if audiences already know how his story ends. It remains to be seen whetherThe Terminal List: Dark Wolfwill be able to live up to its predecessor, but audiences evidently don’t have much longer to wait to find out.
