Benedict Cumberbatch as Patrick Melrose in Patrick Melrose
The Big Picture Benedict Cumberbatch has certainly proven himself to be one of the greatest movie stars of his generation. Between starring in massive franchises like The Hobbit and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as receiving Academy Award nominations for his powerful work in The Power of the Dog and The Imitation Game, Cumberbatch has proven that he can perfectly slip into any material.
Patrick Melrose TV-MA Release Date June 9, 2018 Cast Benedict Cumberbatch , Jennifer Jason Leigh , Hugo Weaving , Sebastian Maltz , Jessica Raine , Prasanna Puwanarajah , Pip Torrens , Indira Varma Main Genre Drama Seasons 1 Creator David Nicholls What Is ‘Patrick Melrose’ About? Based on the popular series of novels by Edward St Aubyn, Patrick Melrose analyzes a wealthy man’s attempts to reckon with his past as he deals with the deteriorating health of his parents.
Benedict Cumberbatch Explores Privilege and Trauma in ‘Patrick Melrose' While Cumberbatch certainly evokes sympathy for Patrick based on how dependent he is on drugs, the series takes a dramatic turn when it reveals that Patrick was sexually abused by his father throughout his childhood. The series shows Patrick's trauma using a flashback sequence that features a breakout performance by Sebastian Maltz as a younger version of Patrick.
Cumberbatch perfectly fits within the somewhat ambiguous nature of Patrick Melrose. Although the series gives Patrick room to begin his path of self-improvement, it does not cleanly wrap up all of his interpersonal relationships or suggest that Patrick's journey of recovery will be an easy one.
