What a surprise! Unlike the previous episode, the second one didn't have any humor, but the atmosphere got much thicker. The flashbacks gave us a deeper look into the character of the charming David Melrose and the wonderful family dynamics.

Unlike the stylistically distinctive and entertaining first episode, this one is "just" a focused and brilliantly acted build-up to a sense of helplessness and inevitability (of what Patrick will become in the future), but it's still hard to take your eyes off of it, and every scene is absolutely correct given the complex psychological portrait of a personality that will surely continue to play a key role in the series. And is it just me, or is Hugo Weaving delivering his fourth iconic villain? He's never been this scary before... 85%

The dive into Patrick Melrose's childhood years was deep, heavily atmospheric, and extremely depressing. Is there any other way to cope with one's inner turmoil after such parental chaos than the way Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed it in the first episode?
