BingeNext's take

If you enjoy shows that mix comedy and drama with a unique twist, Patriot is a great pick. It follows intelligence officer John Tavner, who takes on a risky undercover job at a Midwestern industrial piping company to stop Iran from going nuclear. The series has two seasons and 18 episodes, giving you plenty of time to get invested in the quirky, tense world it creates. Michael Dorman leads a strong cast including Terry O'Quinn and Kurtwood Smith, bringing depth and humor to the story. Watching Patriot feels like stepping into a clever, offbeat spy story that balances serious stakes with moments of dry wit. It’s perfect for anyone who likes their thrillers with a bit of heart and unexpected laughs. If you’ve enjoyed shows like Homeland or The Agency, this one will likely hit the right spot for you.
