Overview

Patriot is a television series that follows the life of intelligence officer John Tavner. The program is categorized as both a comedy and a drama. The central plot concerns Tavner’s mission to prevent Iran from developing nuclear capabilities. To achieve this objective, he is required to abandon all safety nets and adopt a perilous non-official cover. This assignment forces him to pose as a mid-level employee working at a Midwestern industrial piping firm. The series explores the complications of his professional and personal life as he navigates this undercover role. The production is distinct from other media titles sharing similar names, such as the United States Army surface-to-air missile system known as the MIM-104 Patriot or various films titled The Patriot. The television series, which aired between 2015 and 2018, is rated TV-MA. The narrative focuses on Tavner as an unlikely hero and an unlucky spy while he attempts to complete his high-stakes intelligence objective under the guise of his corporate position.
