    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Patriot' is a unique, darkly comedic spy thriller praised for its originality, complex characters, and Michael Dorman's performance. The show's clever writing, unexpected humor, and folk songs enhance storytelling. It explores moral dilemmas and espionage's psychological impact, though its unconventional style and pacing may not appeal to everyone. Some critics feel the second season didn't match the first. Overall, 'Patriot' is seen as a refreshing, intelligent spy genre addition, though its niche appeal may limit mainstream success.

    The Freshest Take on a Genre Since the Coen Brothers

    Please order more of this show! I haven't seen such a fresh take on a genre--in this case, espionage--since I first saw "Raising Arizona" 35 years ago. My eyes and mouth opened wide at how unique and quirkily this show used the screen, characters, story, and imagery to toss James Bond into a Cuisinart every so often for a pulse.

    The whole thing has the feeling, like the incredible camera/bull sequence, of being told as a narrative from the memories and imaginations of two goofy brothers lying out in a tent one summer night, taking turns killing off each other's characters and they hand off the narrative. The setup and pay off of the Asian gentleman and the security guard is brilliant!

    I can't stop laughing to make breakfast.

    I almost want to never see any more so as to preserve the mystery and perfection. This pilot is Rube Goldberg's Cleaning Closet with all the mops and brooms and buckets just barely kept from chaos by the door.

    My one concern is the title, which is hopelessly dull and shares none of the grab bag charm of the script and acting. Even "NOC" is better because it conceals mystery but pays off. Nobody politically left of John McCain would give this a tumble with that name. It sounds like a Tom Clancy novel when it's a lot closer to Tom Robbins.

    I'm sold on this writer/director and will now go look up his IMDb credits. Thanks for letting us review.

    Why was this cancelled?

    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.

    Incredible!

    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.

    One of the best shows I've ever watched

    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.

    Ridiculously Underrated!

    Patriot is absolutely one of the best tv shows I've ever seen! I know people say this about a ton of different shows but this really is underrated. It's so ridiculously underrated and under advertised that I didn't know about this incredible show until recently. It's both thrilling and hilarious! I cannot recommend this enough. All you have to do is read through the reviews and see how loved this show really is! I put off watching it & when I gave it a chance I ended up binge watching the entire series in a few days. Love, love, love this show!
