It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Absolutely loved this and I am now a massive cumberbatch fan, but the eye colour thing from boy to man annoyed the bloody hell out of me. Were there no other blue eyed boy actors available????!

Wow. Just wow.
Benedict Cumberbatch is a genius actor.
Hugo Weaving is an acting god.
The story is involving, dramatic, unpredictable and gripping.
The production value is great, everything from colour grade to editing is as tight as Borat likes certain things to be.
Watch it now, thank me later.

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.

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.
