This is a recreation of a fictional computer program from the excellent Apple TV show - Severance.

The work is mysterious, and important.

Season 2 is going now. It’s one of my top 3 shows of the last decade, highly recommend it.

"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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

I may be able to make your weeks then.

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

... Cool.

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).

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.

It is so good for how unknown it is.

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 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

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.
