Reddit reviews Patriot

> lily-livered wimps

Do you watch much tv between hashing out anti-theistic prejudice? If you do, I highly, highly recommend checking out Patriot. It is the story of a group of US intelligence operatives who're trying to get $10 million to Iran to influence the election of a pro-US candidate to prevent the nuclear annihilation of Israel. A member of the group (the protagonist actually) is dealing with PTSD and depression and his growing suspicion that he doesn't want to be a spy anymore (maybe you can understand this - mocking religion like you do has to leave a bad taste in your mouth). Patriot is one part Wes Andersen (without the pedophilia), one part Cohen brothers (without the inscrutability), and one part Jason Bourne (without the crappy editing pretending to be art).


I was on the edge of my seat there for a while because I loved it, but I wasn't sure if it would be renewed for a second season, and then it was! And I'm happy that you've provided me with an opportunity to share something I love with you. So - the next time you think to yourself, "self - I'm going to go throw some mud and insults at strangers because I have all this hate inside me that I don't understand" - take a moment, and check out Patriot. It is so good - you won't regret diverting your anger towards art instead of people (like us) who're literally totally uninvolved in your life.

Patriot (Amazon Prime)

First 4 episodes have been great, has a very Fargo feel to it.

7.6/10 so far, def keeps you wanting to see what comes next

Edit: just finished and man did it finish strong! That 50 second scene in ep 8 in front of the warehouse was one of the funniest yet tense scenes I have ever seen in film, absolutely brilliant. The writing and dialogue and general feeling of the show was so different than anything you'll see. The definition of a dark comedy/thriller

Solid 8.5/10 for me and I highly recommend at least watching the first 3 or so episodes to see what you think. You gotta be the type of person who enjoys a good dialogue, this is not an action thriller spy show. But rather a well crafted web of fucked up situations one after the other.

The soundtrack kicked ass too

If you are a fan of Fargo or any thing Coen brothers you'll love this.

Patriot on Amazon Prime. Awesome show.

There's some anger there!

If your anti-theistic hate ideology denies other people agency and the chance to make meaningful changes, then your ideology is just another kind of facism.

So my thought? The next time you want to apply your anti-Mormon facism to Mormonism - don't. Go find something purposeful and productive and do that instead. I know Rexmormonism doesn't do service and outreach (because you guys can't see past yourselves) so I recommend checking out Amazon's TV show Patriot. Then come back and let's talk about it, OK?
