Patriot is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video, and its 8/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who have already found it know. 2 seasons that reward every hour invested. That rating comes from 186 viewer scores — enough to represent a genuine consensus rather than a handful of enthusiasts. The availability across streaming platforms means you can start tonight without hunting for a disc or a dodgy stream. Michael Dorman is the obvious draw, but once you are in, it is the writing and the ensemble that keep you watching. If it has been sitting on your watchlist untouched, there is no better time to finally start it.

Patriot follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. To prevent Iran from going nuclear, intelligence officer John Tavner must forgo all safety nets and assume a perilous "non-official cover" -- that of a mid-level employee at a Midwestern industrial piping firm. Michael Dorman and Terry O'Quinn lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2015–2018), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Patriot holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-season curiosities.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to. It earns every laugh across its entire run — no coasting on goodwill. The comedy comes from character rather than situation, which means it holds up on rewatch in a way that pure farce never does. Michael Dorman sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. If Archer is already in your rotation, Patriot fits naturally alongside it.
