pluviosity's rating of the film Patrick Melrose
pluviosity

it's not sensationalizing addiction and mental illness—god knows how I'm tired of that—but also not offering something different, quirky, or mindblowingly heartwarming. But I think it's fine, and with great talent from Benedict Cumberbatch and Hugo Weaving, it's even more than fine. Second episode was the best, the colorful pastel palette yet with a claustrophobic tone was just insane.

Seems like I have to read the books... I kinda loved it, but I also feel like I've missed something.

I like Aubyn's novels but this adaptation is absolutely tedious.

Just finished the last episode. The first episode was a highlight but the whole thing was great TV.
