hikeeba2006 Normally, I am incredibly bored by the espionage genre, but when I saw the artwork for PATRIOT and the expression on Dorman's face?Throw in the magic words 'mid-level employee' + 'Midwest' + 'piping firm' and you have a brilliant premise to either fly straight into the ground or, make it something unique and incredible. They went for the latter. For a show with some long pauses and scenes without dialogue, this is one of the most tightly written and edited shows I have ever come across. If I had gotten to the tenth episode and found there was no season two I would have been incredibly disappointed not to see more of the sad man in the suit.

Flunkstar Drawn out it maybe but it always seems to give you something at the end! The red money bag woven through a complete episode is a good example. Glad there's more, a definite watch.

Dropkickmeelmo I can't say enough about this show. I stumbled across it on Amazon Prime last summer (2017) and figured, "What the hell?". I love espionage shows (namely The Americans), but I saw the comedy tag with it and was a little weary. Especially since it came out in 2015 and there was only 1 season. However, less than 5 minutes into it (when John bombs the interview and has to introduce someone to a vehicular manslaughter indictment) I was concerned no more.The comedy in this movie is delivered with deadpan delivery much like many of the things I laughed at in Fargo (the movie) that not a lot of other people found as hysterical. Maybe it's just me and my sick and twisted mind, but it strikes home. His songs he does on open mic nights at coffee shops left my sides hurting so bad from laughing.But enough about how sick and twisted the humor is: The plot is about a horribly depressed (about his work) CIA officer that has to assume a NOC (non-official cover) role in a pipe fitting firm based out of Milwaukee, WI so he will be able to infiltrate the Iranian regime and assist in disrupting their nuclear program. He NEEDS to get the job as this is the only firm that does work in Luxembourg (where Iran stores their money). John needs to get this job so badly (despite being COMPLETELY ignorant of the work the company does) he has to resort to efforts that a normal person would find stomach churning (mentioned above).Once he gets the job and goes to Europe his father (essentially his boss in The Agency) ends up roping his brother (a US Congressman) to assist John in his work once over in Luxembourg. As hijinks, plans, and pretty much everything conceivable go awry John ends up needing to rope another totally unfit (for the Agency work) co-worker into his plans in evading a homicide investigation once over in Luxembourg.Can't recommend the series enough. I'm totally stoked it's going to have a season 2 here in 2018. Another good show is desperately needed to give the world a good laugh and take our collective minds off the rest of the outside world.I try not be prone to hyperbole, but this show is absolutely fantastic. 10/10

gmastey As someone who is really critical and picky about my entertainment, I was hooked to this show from the first episode. It was so different than anything I've seen before. It didn't follow any clichéd story line, avoided all tropes, and gave me such an original experience. I'm truly grateful for it. I love the depth of the characters, the convincing performances, and the excellent writing. Honestly, I would give this show an 11/10 if I could.
