Season 2 Review: The delightfully creative series from writer, director and creator Steven Conrad (The Pursuit of Happyness, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) returns better than ever, a wholly original vision that has distant-cousin connections to the vibe of the Fargo television series and Wes Anderson films, while being its own weird thing.

Season 1 Review: Each hour has a drag to it, one that feels hypnotically weird and is interrupted by spasmodic bursts of violence and disarming farce. All of that lends an aura of honesty to this story of life inside the world of intelligence might. ... A taste worth acquiring. Read full review

Season 2 Review: There’s much to appreciate in Conrad’s mastery of building tension toward ludicrous outcomes in some case, or punctuating stretches of relative calm with explosions of chaos and violence. Read full review

Season 1 Review: None of the episodes are quite as clean as the premiere, either, but they’re also clearly building toward something. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s fitfully funny, occasionally sad, and fond of long digressions that seemingly have nothing to do with anything--but might be the whole point. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Trying too hard to play it ultracool, Patriot’s first few episodes are overloaded with distractions and flourishes; the show takes its own sweet (but enjoyable) time to find its stride. And viewers are running low these days on that kind of patience, even if Patriot is worth indulging. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Insufferable. ... At first, it’s nice to see TV veterans O’Quinn and Smith on screen again, but soon it becomes grating to see such talented actors trapped in such an airless, self-indulgent and smug story. Read full review

Probably my favorite show of all time! But I can understand that it’s definitely not a show for everyone (nothing really good ever is). If you don’t get the humor in it, it’s probably not for you. The characters are outstanding, the dialog is fantastic, and the story is well thought out.Probably my favorite show of all time!

The characters are outstanding, the dialog is fantastic, and the story is well thought out. I can’t praise the writing in this enough! I thought the cinematography was great as well. The only thing I don’t like about it is that Amazon hasn’t given it a third season to complete the story. Wish there was more entertainment out there of this quality!… Expand

Absolutely superb from start to finish. Characters with incredible depth, a compelling story, and a stellar soundtrack. Would rate this show 500/10 if possible.
