(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.

Patriot was awesome…the should bring it back!
I loved this show. Had never heard of it, but gave it a try. It just kept building each episode, getting funnier and making sense tying more and more little things together. Really enjoyed it!!!!
Patriot was an excellent series! Wow…very surprised they cancelled it!
Best TV series I’ve ever seen. Both deeply comedic and tragic. Simple yet most complex masterpiece. If only they had vision in the Amazon front office, they could have really made something special even more special.
