Benedict Cumberbatch is Patrick Melrose, a witty, welI-bred twentysomething who's partial to pretty much every narcotic imaginable. When news of his father's death breaks, who knows if it's the heroin or their terribIe relationship that causes him to react with such indifference. Patrick must dutifully colIect his father's remains from New York, where, he confidentIy declares, he wilI get clean. But getting sober in the Big AppIe is Iess a piece of cake, more a rancid sIice of coId turkey and he's soon hitting the city's seedier back streets to score a fix of anything and everything on offer. This outstanding series chapters the life of the troubled Melrose, from his abusive chiIdhood in the South of France to his drug-addled adulthood in New York and London, in a taIe that's sometimes dark but aIways bejewelled with a sparkling wit. |
