Classification: MA15+
Region: 4 (Australia & New Zealand)

Nominated for the 2018 Emmy Award for Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie (Benedict Cumberbatch)

Patrick Melrose (Benedict Cumberbatch), an aristocratic and outrageously funny playboy, who struggles to overcome the damage inflicted by an abusive father and a mother who tacitly condoned the behaviour. A true television saga, Melrose is both gripping and humorous, with a dramatic sweep that encompasses the South of France in the 1960's, debauched 1980's New York and sober Britain in the early 2000's.

Melrose will devote an hour to each of the five novels, with each episode storytelling a few complicated and intense days in Patrick's life.
