5/5
Lucky the first episode of Patrick Melrose, based on the book Bad News, which aired on Sky Atlantic last night, renders all fears misplaced. Go to Full Review Ben Travis Empire Magazine 05/14/2018
It packs an emotional impact episode one lacks, but without the laughs to wash it all down, and sets up the rest of the series perfectly. Go to Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky 05/16/2018
