Patrick Melrose

I was pleasantly surprised by this series. I was baffled a little by the first episode because I laughed unexpectedly often, which I wouldn’t expect of a drama, but the following episodes did the genre justice. The show is an excellent drama with a suffocating atmosphere, snobbish manners and great acting performances (Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugo Weaving, J.J. Leigh, Holliday Grainger) that I really enjoyed. I wish there were more shows like this one. (08/08/2018)

I really enjoyed this one-man show. Sure, there were other actors, but Benedict Cumberbatch completely stole the episode. For a drama, I found myself laughing surprisingly often. Patrick was incredibly entertaining, and his battle with the urn was flawless. (07/08/2018)

What a surprise! Unlike the previous episode, the second one didn't have any humor, but the atmosphere got much thicker. The flashbacks gave us a deeper look into the character of the charming David Melrose and the wonderful family dynamics. Hugo Weaving did a fantastic job filling in for the absent Benedict Cumberbatch, and I had a blast. (08/08/2018)

**Patrick Melrose - Some Hope (2018)**   Three five-star episodes in a row. What's fascinating is how each episode is completely different, yet I've enjoyed every single one. This time, most of the action took place at an upper-class party, and it was such a display of snobbery that I was absolutely delighted. So far, I'm thrilled with this series. (08/08/2018)

Maybe it was the laid-back vibe of a French summer, but this episode felt a bit slower and less eventful. Still, there were plenty of great moments that kept me entertained. I just can't help but enjoy this series. (08/08/2018)

The creators wrapped it up nicely. The funeral was well done, but the standout of the final episode was Nicholas Pratt. He was such an amazing, snobbish jerk that I wanted to stick a few pins in him. As usual, I had a great time watching, though I expected a more depressing ending. (08/08/2018)
