So, I just finished S2. S1 was a 9, and S2 is a 5, so my average score for Patriot is 7... which is "pretty good". S2 felt like an assignment to get through, excruciating most of the time. What they do do well, in both seasons, is to be mysteriously compelling. I'll say this, I haven't seen anything like it... quality actors, drama, camera, direction.
