#Patriot# is a show about a covert spy dude from the u.s. who is very depressed, and a quiet folk singer, and unusually adept at violence. His task is to get hired undercover at a Milwaukee industrial piping firm so he can do spy shit in Luxembourg and Iran. They managed two 10-episode story arcs out of this, and I love it.

Fantastic ensemble cast, fantastic writing, fantastic cinematography, fantastic soundtrack, often annoyingly quirky in silly ways, and dark because the characters' actions have consequences.

also, Terry O'Quinn (Lost) in this is calm and weird and creepy.

#Perpetual Grace, LTD# Classic pastiche of scammers screwing up in a silly, morbid scheme in a lot of pretentious, but well-done, acting and noir-ish cinematography.

edit forgot to add: Jimmi Simpson, aka Liam McPoyle from It's Always Sunny, is the lead

Cut from the same insanity as Patriot, with many of the same creators and actors. A bit more annoyingly quirky. If you don't like Patriot, you probably won't like this.

if you remember, a criticism of Breaking Bad was that scenes in Mexico were always kinda sepia-toned... this just has weird tones, sometimes in Mexico.

Both have Steven Conrad as one of the principal creators/writers/directors, or some combination thereof. He wrote Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which is even more silly, but not too far off.

this person is a grifter who travels to and fro in an RV, collecting donations, as one does, but she claims to be the literal Queen of Canada. Qanon Anonymous is my main source, but I can't find a good link that isn't patreon-walled. But it's a cool podcast.

sorry if there is a more relevant community. i tried on that other big forum site and was shot down by a bot and i am tired.

let's just say a person started working for a gig-type company, through an app, such as ****** and while "on the clock" and using the app, their iPhone was spontaneously, occasionally making 3-second OUTGOING calls to different numbers coded to San Francisco, where the not-so-hypothetical company is based.

and if you call the numbers back: "this number no longer works. please contact support"

what are they doing?

I know this sounds obvious, and it’s an old meme from Reddit, but you REALLY need to check your home for carbon monoxide.
