Where To Watch Patriot – Season 1

Patriot Season 1 follows John Tavner, a highly skilled but emotionally exhausted intelligence officer who is forced back into the field after a disastrous mission. Working under the secret identity John Lakeman, he takes a seemingly ordinary job at a Milwaukee industrial piping company while secretly attempting to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear capability. His mission becomes increasingly complicated as professional incompetence, family pressure, trauma and an increasingly suspicious homicide detective begin closing in around him. What makes the season unusual is its strange combination of espionage, deadpan comedy, family drama and original folk music. John is not portrayed as an unstoppable super-spy; instead, he is a deeply damaged man struggling to function while carrying out increasingly absurd assignments. His father Tom Tavner, brother Edward Tavner, wife Alice, boss Leslie Claret, and detective Agathe Albans each become important pieces of the increasingly chaotic operation.
