leebarbara-com If Benedict does not win every award possible for this immense performance, it would be a travesty. I have always been a bit of a fan. His portrayal of Sherlock, Alan Turing and Khan in Star Trek, to name but a few, were all equally impressive, but this entry on his CV propels him up there with the greatest of all time in my books.To be fair, the whole cocktail makes the drink. Patrick Melrose is a rare gem that ticks all the boxes. All the other actors where great, namely Hugo Weaving. The casting, production, visuals...all where impressive and that's what makes this so damn good. If you strip away the phenomenal acting and the beautiful visual production, I can only imagine the first episode would have been a bleak and depressing affair to say the least. Instead, it is arguably (in my own head) the most gripping hour of television I have seen. That level of intensity and perfection does naturally waver throughout the entire series but it does not dip by much and often regains the heights achieved in the first episode. Ironically, you may find yourself looking for that fix provided in the first episode throughout the others. There are no negatives I can think of, which is probably why I have finally lost my reviewing virginity to such a gorgeous series that I truly loved.
david.sampson1 Superbly scripted drama, definitely not an advert for drink or drug abuse, harrowing and at times painful to watch, yet surprisingly touching and hilarious in places. Benedict Cumberbatch absolutely acts his socks off, surely he is one of the finest actors of his generation. In the final episode he achieved something very rare indeed, I forgot I was watching Benedict Cumberbatch and that the events causing him such pain had not actually happened to the actor. A slight watering of the eyes occurred for thIs chap, such was the intensity of the performance I was watching. Glorious.
Kirpianuscus He is the lead motif for me to see the first episode. I do not know the books. so, Patrick Melrose remains, in my case, more an incarnation of ordinary gay and his fight to escape to the answers to society. and, as schyzoid, I admit , Patrick Melrose is more than a seductive/familiar character. and the impecable performance of Cumberbatch is the axis of splendid project . that is all.
PavlaBartonova Such brilliant acting. Especially in episode 1, Benedict Cumberbatch is playing a drug addict so genially, one is at awe at his acting talent. Stunning casting overall. I appreciate the educative side of the series, the peak into a family where a child is abused by a paedophile father, the psychological profiles of the perpetrator and his victims. It uncovers tragic happenings that are normally hidden from the eyes of other people. Watching this series made me research more on the subject and on how to spot and help victims. The direction, photography, design, costumes - piece of art!
