Patriot

Patriot is one of the best shows I've ever seen! Period. It's unlike anything you've ever seen and in a great way. This was one of Amazon's first shows and was never advertised or promoted which is a shame. People have only heard about it because of the great word of mouth that goes that's been going around for it. I had pretty high expectations going in because of all the great things I heard and those expectations were not only met but were surpassed in every way. I don't know anyone who's seen this who wasn't absolutely blown away by how good it was. There were only two seasons but those two seasons are brilliant! I've watched both seasons twice already and plan on watching it again in the near future. That's how good this show is.

Absolutely great show, hilarious dark humour, excellent storyline and wonderful performances. I can't understand why this was cancelled, there was so much left to go.

Patriot is in the comedy category, but it is a blend of drama and comedy, in nearly equal parts. It has many laugh out loud moments, but so does the Mad Men, to a lesser degree. Patriot is extremely personal, thought provoking, and touching.

This is absolutely the most artistic show of the new breed of excellent television in recent years. It's far above most of Amazon's offerings. I love this show. Every aspect is top-notch: the acting, the direction, the script, the cinematography. IMO this could be the best new show of the last year or two.

I sincerely hope Amazon renews for a second season.

This show is simply a masterpiece. It is one of the most well-produced and visually impressive shows in recent memory. It's witty, funny, serious, sad, and suspenseful all at once. The art direction is incredible. I never write reviews or share much about things I watch but I'm writing this, and I've told many friends/family that they really should watch this.

I figured I would re-watch the pilot, and then see the second episode. Then the third snuck in there, and a day later I find that I'm searching for whether or not season 2 has been green lit. The story was quite interesting, the characters quite flawed, and the ending came way too quick. I figured I would watch an episode every few days, but I couldn't find the self-restraint.

Gave 9 out of 10 stars due to a bit of repetition where an episode flashed back to earlier scenes. Since I ended up binging the reminder felt superfluous.

Can't wait for season 2.
