Patrick Melrose was born into wealth and privilege, but his childhood was definitely not a happy one, and as an adult he became addicted to alcohol and drugs. However, now he wants to purify himself and start a new chapter of his life. As it happens, his proud and cruel father, who abused and manipulated young Patrick, died recently overseas. This is, of course, a good opportunity to get wasted and reminisce about the bad old days. But Patrick wants to stop drinking and taking drugs. He abandons his everyday Sisyphean struggle with booze, needles and mobile numbers of friendly dealers, and he flies to New York to recover his father’s ashes. Although the city that never sleeps tries to tempt him, Patrick really wants to change… something… somewhere. Even if only to stop thinking all the time that something needs to change. Will he succeed in turning his life around? (Camerimage)

To tell you the truth, I can't imagine who could play such a psychologically traumatized individual better. I would also like to highlight the excellent camera work, the fantastic soundtrack enhancing the atmosphere, and the amazing makeup for the aging actors, which adds even more to the gloomy mood of the already quite melancholic story. All of this is spiced up with biting sarcasm. I'd like to have at least a double helping of this depressing serial treat. ()

Schöne Verhältnisse (2018) (E02) 

Englisch The dive into Patrick Melrose's childhood years was deep, heavily atmospheric, and extremely depressing. Is there any other way to cope with one's inner turmoil after such parental chaos than the way Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed it in the first episode? The demonic Hugo Weaving, who fabulously portrayed David Melrose, scared even me, let alone a broken child's soul... ()
