TV show description:
A political thriller, the Patriot TV show follows intelligence officer John Tavner (Michael 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.
Patriot explores the seldom-seen, gritty, and gruesome sides of an intelligence officer’s life. Although the stakes are high — i.e. the actual future of the world — it’s often the eccentricities of those around John Tavner, as well as unforeseen complications, which make him have to choose between bad and worse options.
John’s elder brother, Edward (Michael Chernus), is a young Texas congressman, who is also the father of a secret mixed-race son. Their dad, Tom Tavner (Terry O’Quinn), is the State Department Director of Intelligence. Rounding out the family is Alice (Kathleen Munroe), John’s understanding yet lonely wife.
Further complicating this assignment are Agathe (Aliette Opheim) a sharp homicide detective from Luxembourg, who is hot on John’s trail, and Mr. Claret (Kurtwood Smith), John’s stickler of a new “boss” at the piping firm.
Lingering PTSD, governmental ineptitude, and meeting the requirements of his cover, cause spiraling blunders which threaten Tanner’s mission. His penchant for smoking pot and writing all too confessional folks songs about his job don’t help matters. And then there’s the trail of dead and maimed bodies he leaves in his wake.
Series Finale:
Episode #18 — Escape from Paris
All hell breaks loose.
First aired: November 9, 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Patriot TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on Amazon?
Pleasen please bring on Season 3! I have been binge watching Seasons 1 and 2 as I workout on the elliptical in the gym and find myself laughing out loud. It is just the best antidote to boredon I have ever found.
Love the Patriot! Can’t wait till Season 3!!
It’s got it all laughs,good music,and a great cast .Please I’ve been waiting patiently..Bring it back soon.
This is the best new television show since Breaking Bad. Clever, fun, intelligent…great characters, great cinematography, beautifully written and designed. PLEASE give us more.
Sharp and intellectual thriller. Well written and not at all what one would expect from tv these days. Cast is amazing and well rounded all the way down to the children.Please do not cancel. It’s a keeper.
This show deserves to be renewed. Until the characters started to develop, I thought the show might not hold my interest, but once caught in its rhythm and nuance I was hooked. John is truly placed in situations requiring a choice between bad and worse and the toll it takes on his humanity as he struggles to do what he perceives as his duty strikes me as a realistic take on the life of a real world agent. I’m sure there is a great deal of poetic license in the actual situations, but they are just a vehicle for making… Read more »
Quirky, dry humor abounds in this series. I laughed aloud many, many times. There are twists and turns in each episode, so it’s impossible to guess what will happen next. Keep this show!
I just discovered this show and think it’s great, please don’t cancel please continue. the characters are great, the acting and writing are great. I really love the subtle dry humor humor in this. Comedy is always best when its played straight. I think this is right up there with breaking bad as one of the greatest t.v. shows ever.
and I’ve been an anti t.v. snob most of my life.
I LOVE this show! Hilarious and nail-biting and moving all at once. Fantastic acting, writing, directing, cinematography. Like mini-movies every episode. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL. When Season 2 coming? Bravo Steven Conrad!
The show is very clever. Is dark and funny. The music is great.
I hope it has a chance to evolve/
.
love the flow and shocking scenes . def hooked on the show for sure , I hope there is a season #2 soon
I really really like this quirky show and am recommending it to lots of friends. Please give me another season!
Patriot is the first series I found myself ‘hooked’ on since HBO’s “john from cincinnati” — It’s original, well-developed in every aspect from concept, characters, dialogue, plot, pace, editing, aesthetic, location, photography, music… accessible, earnest and engaging; yet deeply complex and mysterious — the writing, casting, directing, acting, editing, sound and production design – all of it passionately and expertly expressed. finally, a show about deception i totally trust ! thank you, steve conrad and amazon for this ‘theater’…
I enjoyed the show
Comedy,thriller.Never thought I would, could like one,;But Patriot sucked me in.
This is one of the most interesting series I’ve ever watched, and l’ve lived along time. Unique story and characters. There are no bad performances. The director pulls exceptional performances out of virtually all of the cast. I am looking forward to the next season, and the one after that, and the one after that.
Just Great! The second episode is the most hilarious show ever.
