The Americans vs Barry vs Patriot

[dead0man]

I've started watching The Americans.  It's good, but I think it's the weakest of the three.  (is there a show with more side boob and butts?)

Barry is great, Bill Hader is great, the rest of the cast is good, the writing is superb.  The mix of comedy and over the top, but realistic violence is perfect.

but Patriot is the best show nobody has ever heard of.  I can't sing it's praises enough.  The acting is top notch, the writing is top notch, the cinematography/directing should be winning awards.


(the three shows have espionage, with the protagonist(s) not sure they want to do espionage anymore, excellent story telling with heavy doses of funny situations....are there any other shows like this I should look at?  I've decided it's one of my favorite genres.  Not necessarily espionage, just violence and comedy, in a well done package.)
