jenloubak Another boring portrayal of an entitled brat who's also a junkie. Can't make it past the first ep. it's uninteresting and self indulgent. Snooze. If I watch everything that's ever been made and come back to this I may change my review. Big if.

sharkgirl-14910 This show was honestly so amazing and so heartbreaking. like, you could just feel the characters' pain from the screen. it just displays how our emotions have layers and how childhood experiences stay with you forever. how your choices affect your loved ones, how we all have different experiences, and the importance of relationships. it basically highlights this man, named patrick melrose, who was abused as a child by his father. he became an alcoholic and a drug user and eventually decided to get his life together but failed so many times. he was suicidal, felt so alone, depressed, and so drawn to drinking it just broke my heart to watch. but it was just so amazing as well. the acting was literally some of the best I have and probably will ever see and the emotions the actors showed just wrang so true and cut so deep. it was easily my second favorite show of all time next to sherlock because obviously sherlock is my number one always.

jcourt58 Patrick Melrose is the first tv show I have bothered to review. An amazing tour de force. I was not surprised at the accolades accorded Benedict Cumeratcdh but I was surprised at the lack of discussion around Hugo Weavings stunning performance as the father. He has to be one of the character actors of our time. Unlike some character actors he is never the same. Playing this awful character is conveyed in all his behaviours. Amazing show all round.

Craig-Peters-1 All though the threads of challenging subjects that are so believable in there portrayal, this is not a comforting series. It is however meticulously executed by some exceptional actors.
