For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Reading the description, you wouldn't have any reason at all to watch this show. But you should, because it is terrific.

I kept thinking "what am I watching".
I've never been so absolutely unsure of a show while totally loving it at the Same time.
It's incredibly smart.
Darkly funny.
I mean soooooo frikin funny.
Every character is written to perfection.
It's concentrated entertainment.

I really don't understand how this receives so many positive reviews. I couldn't get through the pilot and turned it off after 43 mins because as quirky as singing your days' experiences for therapy is, if such odd behaviour is going to be the basis of a comedy, it's certainly lost on me, as I found little humour or even drama in it. It looks to me like the remainder of the series is going to consist of a supposed intelligence asset walking into ridiculous situations either of his own making or thrust open him by the complexities of balancing a NOC's existence. I suppose some novelty could be found in such chaos, but I imagine not enough to keep me interested till the end of the fist episode never mind a whole series. The episode was well acted and had some recognisable faces, but the script seemed to be trying too hard to be in the same vein as a Coen Bros. production without success and ultimately became irritating and yet equally drab at times.

...and in my opinion up there with the greats (Sopranos, The Wire etc.).Patriot is basically a mix of Fargo, a Wes Anderson-film and a 70s-spy thriller. It's certainly not for everyone, as it has a very cinematic feel and can feel slow at times, but if you like the above-mentioned films, you will most certainly like this show. Can't wait for season two.
