This is not even remotely true.

Patriot is amazing.

Patriot rules, and is criminally under-watched. True facts: I watched the first season of that show without realizing that my sister-in-law is in it, until she shows up in like episode 2 (and through the rest of the season). An extremely WTF moment, I recommend everybody have it on some kind of show.
There is no accounting for taste of course, but this show appears to have a 35% dislike vote fraction among Google users and 68% favorable on Metacritic. Which puts it objectively well below other Prime shows that I personally think are extremely bad, such as Reacher and Jack Ryan.
Patriot is amazing. One of the best black comedys ever made.
>This is not even remotely true.

It's a subjective opinion, therefore entirely true to OP and not even remotely true to you.

Also 'The Boys' is quite popular, 'Bosch' and 'Reacher' are very popular.. there are a few others that do well. If you are old enough think back to the haydays of the network television evening programming. There were hits, there were misses, there was tons of stuff in between. For every 'Friends' there is a 'Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place'.
2GGPP launched Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillian and Susan Cryer from Silicon Valley. It’s a bit of a gem in its own way
... but it didn't do well overall.
For every “Friends” there are thousands of ‘Two guys a girl and a pizza’
Another vote for Patriot here. I think it flew under the radar due to the poor choice of title, but it's just so ridiculously good. Darkly hilarious writing and a really solid cast.

It's funny how Michael Chernus keeps playing brother roles ("Cool Rick" on Patriot, Cal on Orange is the New Black) or brother-in-law (Ricken on Severance). Dude just has a real brotherly vibe, perfect choice for this show.

And then separately it's kind of weird to think that Patriot's showrunner's real-life brother is an actor in the show (playing Dennis), considering some of the scenes that character is in...
