Early in the hours of this morning (and last night in America), Benedict Cumberbatch’s new series Patrick Melrose finally kicked off its first episode – and already, viewers are loving the adaptation of Edward St Aubyn’s original novels.
And we mean REALLY loving it…
I’ve read all five Patrick Melrose books so I was dreading this TV adaptation. I’ve watched part one twice. It couldn’t be better.

I’m often disappointed when a beloved book is turned into a film or television show, but Patrick Melrose is as brilliant as the books by Edward St. Aubyn. #PatrickMelrose #BenedictCumberbatch

1st ep of @SHOLtdSeries 's Patrick Melrose was a total jaw-drop. Sad, dramatic, yet realistic in many ways. Looking forward for the next 😜

The drama sees Sherlock and Avengers: Infinity War star Cumberbatch play the titular Patrick Melrose, a dysfunctional upper-class addict whose destructive behaviour gets him into various difficult situations.
The series airs on Showtime in the US and on Sky Atlantic and NOWTV in the UK – though you can also watch the first episode of the series in its entirety on RadioTimes.com, as part of a special offer made to our readers.
