Yeah, I discovered this show last week and am on a rewatch with my wife. I really loved it, all those little things that fold back on each other in the show. It's sort of Cohen Brothers meets Wes Anderson. I'm really hoping next season continues the story perhaps all the way to Iran.

I do not understand how a show this terrific can exist so far outside of the zeitgeist.
I hope it picks up some (much-deserved) buzz for season 2.

So dark, though. But I guess that's the promise.
I sort of like how it manages to be dark but not grisly the way I feel a lot of American spy/cop tv is. I'm a little shruggo on Wes Anderson but I did always appreciate that most of his stuff (that I've seen) had a gentleness to it that was nice to interact with. Patriot gets outside of this a few times (the man in the backpack, for example), but it's nearly all suspense and build-up so the darkness is sociological (and us worrying about what might happen) more than having it all out there on the screen.
