Patrick Melrose

Outwardly, it would seem that Patrick Melrose (Benedict Cumberbatch) should have little complaint about being born to moneyed British aristocracy. However, a boyhood marked by the physical and sexual abuses of his father (Hugo Weaving) with the silent assent of his mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) laid the groundwork for an adulthood mired in substance addiction. Acclaimed miniseries take on Edward St. Aubyn’s autobiographical novels co-stars Sebastian Maltz, Jessica Raine, Pip Torrens. 5 hrs. on two discs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
