The Ben Kingsley-led Epix neo-thriller co-created by Patriot creator Steve Conrad (with Bruce Terris) isn't getting the attention it deserves, according to Tim Goodman. "It's hard out there in TV Land," explains Goodman. "Maybe you've heard this? Every platform, no matter how large, is jumping up and down saying, 'Look at our shows, look at our shows,' while viewers endlessly window-shop the options. Even if Amazon never makes another episode of Patriot, there are two brilliant seasons it will have on its shelf that I'll keep pushing people to discover (as will others), and that discovery adds value to an Amazon subscription. If Terris and Conrad's Perpetual Grace, LTD, so early in its freshman run, starts to get more notice and acclaim, it builds on what Epix is already doing with other shows, particularly Get Shorty. Epix knows as well or better than most that it can't afford too many missteps as it builds its bench and brand. It needs more great shows. It can't merely be the home of good shows."
