(Amazon)
Streaming on the Amazon Prime Video paid subscription platform, Patriot stars Michael Dorman, Michael Chernus, Terry O’Quinn, Kathleen Munroe, Kurtwood Smith, Aliette Opheim, Chris Conrad, Julian Richings, Gil Bellows, and Marcus Toji.
This political thriller follows intelligence officer John Tavner (Dorman). With only his unsafe “non-official cover” as a mid-level employee at an industrial piping firm, Tavner is on assignment to stop Iran from going nuclear. Lingering PTSD, governmental ineptitude, and meeting the requirements of his cover, cause spiraling blunders which threaten his mission. His penchant for smoking pot and writing all too confessional folks songs don’t help matters. And then there’s the trail of dead and maimed bodies he leaves in his wake.
The pilot episode of Patriot was first released in November 2015 with the rest of the first season being unveiled in February 2017. The show was renewed for a second season in April 2017 and those 8 episodes were released in November 2018. With the cancellation, the spy series is capped with a total of 18 episodes.
What do you think? Did you enjoy the Patriot TV show? Were you looking forward to a third season of this Amazon series? Are you surprised that it was cancelled?
I hope another true streaming service picks it up for a least a third and fourth season. Season 2 is excellent and then improvement on season 1 and I would enjoy and look forward to seeing a season 3.
I was really looking forward to wrapping up the story arc in season three. This is such disappointing news–watching Patriot is a great treat.
I remember seeing the pilot … thinking it was good … and then waiting and waiting for the actual first season to come out. Then waiting for the second season. And now the waiting is over. Too bad. It was a clever show. I suppose too clever for its own good. RIP Tyhmens & Saperstein.
Of course, it got canceled. It was a great show. Instead, they’re promoting an Orlando Bloom show. Because he’s been so successful ever since LOTR. LOL.
One of the absolute best Amazon Shows without question, I have Amazon Prime so I can watch this show.
The Guy who made that Bad Decision should maybe
Relax with some Twizzlers or at least call Charlie to talk about it. It was maybe the Best Series @Amazon
Ever Did. Brilliant … Yeah I Guess, Yeah a little bit
Someone has started a petition to get Patriot recommissioned:

Hopefully it’ll get Amazon’s or another streaming service’s attention.
Thanks Amazon morons. Best show you ever made and instead of more
you’ll make another dumbed down PC garbage comedy series.
What a shame. This was a great series.
phoock, ehhh, show was great, the whole concept and acting. pity.
Patriot was brilliant. A combination of a Shakespeare comedy and a Greek Tragedy.
It never stood a chance!
Yes hugely disappointed no 3rd season. Hoping a different streamer can pick it up if amazon won’t. Great story, fun group of actors.
So disappointed! I loved everything about this show!
I don’t get it. It is a great series. I hope someone else picks it up. I think I should cancel my prime subscription. Not cool.
What the hell, Amazon? Cancelling Patriot?? For once, have some appreciation for true quality in programming. First of all, you let the series fly under the radar so people largely had to discover it randomly. This is skin to cancelling Ms Maisel.
**** the person who said to go through with this,this was one of my all time favorite things to wstch
Or sneaky. I like the characters and was waiting waiting waiting for notta
“Under the radar” is a euphemism for a self-defeating nonexistent marketing effort. My kids are better marketers in promoting their lemonade stands! BTW – my first cousin is Rachel Brosnahan/Mrs. Maisel. Despite my clear bias, I honestly can’t say MMM is a better show than Patriot. MMM is brilliant of course, but Patriot is a masterpiece on all levels – probably the best show I’ve ever watched. While GOT and Breaking Bad were also exceptionally good and addictive series, Patriot artfully and cleverly exceeds them both in telling a multidimensional story – essentially a story within a story within a… Read more »
This is why we can’t have nice things. Probably had to make room for a Cosby Show reboot or a carrot top comedy special.
