Amazon's Patriot returns after a freshman season that was "the most criminally under-the-radar drama of 2017"

The Hollywood Reporter

"Arguably the best drama you're not watching, or haven't even discovered, Amazon's gem returns for more existential spy action, laughs and folk songs," says Tim Goodman. He adds:  "The series suffered from Amazon's now-abandoned strategy under its old regime of posting pilots online for viewers to "vote" on, which means that the pilot for Patriot was available Nov. 5 of — wait for it — 2015, before eventually starting its real season Feb. 24 of — wait for it again — 2017. Is that any way to launch a series? No. But Amazon was new to the TV business then, while it's now under new management with Jennifer Salke and co. and is, not to put too fine a point on it, kicking a lot of ass."

ALSO:

• Season 2 doubles down on its weird pleasures
• Patriot is a difficult show to classify, which naturally means it’s difficult to market
• Patriot is offbeat in a way that will either captivate you or turn you off entirely
• There will be a long wait for Season 3 as there was for Season 2
