"Patriot" (on Amazon Prime) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4687882/

Criminally underrated. If you enjoy older Guy Ritchie films or In Bruges, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Also thematically similar, re: alienation and disassociation!

I must wave the flag for The Leftovers, whose third season holds an impossible 99% RT score: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the-leftovers/s03

I hated the first few episodes but I think it might now be the finest show I've ever seen (and I've seen all those mentioned here).

Absolutely agree and surprised it’s not getting mentioned in this thread with all the complaints about Lost. Most people don’t realize Lindelof did learn a lesson with Lost and corrected it with The Leftovers. One of the most under appreciated and amazing shows ever.

Patriot is indeed criminally underrated. I knew about "pipe speak" [1] before the show [2]. But it turned my partner on to it, and so we speak a lot in it to this day for fun.

I may be able to make your weeks then.

Nine episodes were made as part of the show: https://www.lgclaret.com/

Yes! It was amazing!

One of the best things I've ever seen and I watch quite a lot of TV and film. I'm really only making this comment so that a passerby will see this abundant confluence of support for the show and decide to try it out on a whim. Just a fantastic absurdist, surrealist comedy that's also well-acted and well-written.

Oh, another Patriot fan! There must be dozens of us! :o)

Seriously though, couldn't agree more. Criminally underrated indeed!

gives you a half-smile that makes you feel seen, from your t-nut, to your SKN, to your chim line

... Cool.

So very sad it did not continue. Another underrated gem: Wayne.

I was very happy with how Patriot ended though - it's probably heavily influenced by where my head was at when I watched it but it left me deeply affected for days, and it's the only show to ever do that.

Patriot is unlike anything else. Magical in a way it worked.

The same crew made another show and I couldn’t get past 2 episodes.

Patriot was really a celestial event in the world of TV

Cool Rick is in Severance.

Funny enough his name is Ricken, too, lol

My favorite show over the last decade. Also on Amazon is Zero Zero Zero. Intense.

Yes! I think the name put a lot of people off, but it’s super good. Really makes you appreciate breakfast and the integral principles of the structural dynamics of flow as a nice bonus.

It is so good for how unknown it is.
