What’s This TV Show About?

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.

Telly’s Take

Unless Amazon releases streaming “ratings”, it’s difficult to measure the success or failure of streaming TV shows like Patriot. Critical acclaim and buzz is also important to services that rely on keeping viewers subscribed. So far, there’s mixed interest in this one. We’ll have to wait and see on Patriots’ fate.

4/18 Update: Patriot has been renewed for season two on Amazon. Details here.
