He also has a kayak that hed very much like to sell you, if youre interested.

It certainly doesnt entertain like a typical spy thriller.

And yet the storytelling in the first five installments stays lively and intriguing.

New characters keep expanding and complicating the story, infusing it with new energy.

Some characters get lost along the way.

The characters on the homefront suffer most.

Terry OQuinn is underutilized.

But then, being aLost-ie, Im not sure any show can possibly have enough Terry OQuinn, IMHO.

InPatriot, the juxtaposition of Johns spy missions and McMillan labors are mined for comedy and meaning.

Just murder on a family.

He can go from dead-inside spook one moment, woke revenant in the next.

Dorman keeps you invested in Johns survival and well-being even asPatriotsstyle tests your patience.
