Patriot
Unlikely hero. Unlucky spy.
Created by Steven Conrad
On Prime Video
A melancholic spy dramedy that trades conventional thriller mechanics for introspective character study, finding dark comedy and philosophical depth in the collision between espionage and ordinary Midwestern life.
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.
