Why Patriot and Counterpart deserve to be saved

The Hollywood Reporter

The Amazon comedy-drama, which likely ends its two-season run on Sunday, and the recently canceled Starz sci-fi thriller Counterpart deserve another chance because they are so critically beloved, says Tim Goodman. "In many ways, Counterpart is a cautionary tale that Amazon should heed with Patriot," says Goodman. "Beyond ratings — which are not the driver at subscription services anyway but are, reality check, still monitored by the people in the building — critically acclaimed series are smart investments, even if they're essentially loss-leaders."
