Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight), Hugo Weaving (The Matrix trilogy) and Holliday Grainger (The Borgias)are set for lead roles opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in five-part limited series Patrick Melrose (aka Melrose)
The show is based on the Patrick Melrose series of semi-autobiographical novels written by Edward St. Aubyn
Melrose skewers the upper class as it tracks the protagonist’s harrowing odyssey from a deeply traumatic childhood through adult substance abuse and, ultimately, toward recovery. Leigh and Weaving will play Patrick Melrose’s (Cumberbatch) parents. Anna Madeley, who also joins the cast, will play Melrose’s wife.
With each episode devoted to one of the five novels, the series will encompass the saga of Patrick Melrose’s life, from his horribly abusive youth at the hands of his father (Weaving) and the mother who tacitly condones the behavior (Leigh), to the outrageous playboy he becomes and the struggles he endures to defy the damage of his own
Oh snap
In my defense, I cannot deny that he is the most attractive alien creature on planet Earth. I suspect though that instead of the desired cucumber his ambiguous amphibious nature might roll with a disappointing impregnation through hand-touching instead, just like Kif Kroker!
PS It reminded me of Louis-Ferdinand Céline's and maybe Charles Bukowski's novels
I haven't read the books this show is based on.
PS I watched it with a friend and generally (in like 98% of cases) we like the same TV shows and films, but this time I got almost offended (coz the pilot was so fantastic) when he called it garbage and refused to continue watching it together
Great acting but definitely not what I expect after first episode.
Now a month of something uplifting and cheesy.
