      Reminds of BB too. There are so many things they didn’t have to do to make a scene work, but they did then anyone. Obsessive striving for something like perfection. There are things in this show I’ve never seen before anywhere.

    My absolute favorite series. The comedy was dark, potent, and organic. The characters, lovable. The plot turns so unexpected and engaging. The even mixture of joy and sorrow, creating poignance. No show has ever effected me as much as this one.

      I know what you mean, I'm currently rewatching the series and those moments where you see John smile is so spread out between the stress of his jobs and being there for family. It's painful to watch it knowing the outcome.

    My wife and I *LOVE* this show! The writing makes us laugh out loud. The sterile colors make it look like it was adapted from a graphic novel. Just watching Michael Dorman look sad and worried makes me laugh -- what a wonderful performance.
    We're looking forward to whatever creator Steven Conrad does! What genius.
    Favorite scene: a 2.5 minute long static shot of two characters playing Rock Paper Scissors. OMG so good.

      Steve Conrad worked on Perpetual Grace LTD and Ultra City Smiths as well. He still puts out episodes that supplement Patriot content on podcast episodes of The Integral Principles of the Structural Dynamics of Flow podcast. He also made one called New Techniques in Modern Practical Close Combat.
      I haven't seen many other writers that can make what he does. The pacing doesn't really match the tempo of more popular shows that people are used to watching nowadays. I think this adds to how special his content feels.

    I had the privilege of watching For All Mankind (another seriously underrated and under-watched show) before learning about Patriot, so I was already a fan of Michael Dorman. Patriot instantly sucked me in. Too bad it was released when it was or I believe it would have been huge.

      This is how I got to Patriot. Michael Dorman stuck out a mile in For All Mankind and Gordo’s like a proto-John. Brave, loyal and troubled. He expressed so much with his face in FAM that he was the perfect fit for this as he has to convey so much just by staring.

    I’ve watched everything and without a doubt Patriot is A1. The first time I watched it I just wasn’t prepared for what it was and didn’t get/couldn’t follow it. Thankfully I gave it another shot and still, after watching at least twice a year, I’m catching new, beautiful, nuance. It’s an absolute masterpiece. The scene where John is sitting in the pipes and all his myriad problems are laid out as each character confronts him could be an award-winning short film.

    The most underrated thing I have ever found on streaming. I can't believe this wasn't a household name show, on par with HOC or GOT when it came out. I can't believe "Squid Game" was like "you watch this or you are out of touch and don't understand society!" and this thing was not even mentioned. So loving this show! It reminds me of how great "Barry" was when I caught up with that, and nobody in the recommendations business was even mentioning it. Thanks.

      Season 1 especially holds a special place in my heart. There wasn't as much manpower behind the second season but there are definitely some incredible payoffs in Season 2. The Train oner in "Guns of Paris" was incredible. I don't think I've laughed with genuine joy and relief at my screen like I did when I saw "Fuck John Wayne"

    it was a great show, its a shame it isnt renewed , but it is for the stoner genre, too much comedy and stoner for a conservative to understand certain nuances, its not a tough guy action movie or series, i have yet to finish season 2, 2 more episodes season 2, but i have enjoyed it immensely , the music is all original almost, singing messages to his wife, on stage, build up , touring music, and its hilarious , and it is intense dramatic that makes you literally sit on edge of seat, and then there are surprises that shock me, i hate to see it end and am apprehensive about what kind of ending i am in for, and there is always another streamer may pick it up if Steven Conrad wants to write them, enjoyed watching your take
