Patrick Melrose (2018) 

Englisch I was pleasantly surprised by this series. I was baffled a little by the first episode because I laughed unexpectedly often, which I wouldn’t expect of a drama, but the following episodes did the genre justice. The show is an excellent drama with a suffocating atmosphere, snobbish manners and great acting performances (Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugo Weaving, J.J. Leigh, Holliday Grainger) that I really enjoyed. I wish there were more shows like this one. ()

Schlechte Neuigkeiten (2018) (E01) 

Englisch So, I really enjoyed this One man show. Well, not that there weren't other actors in the episode, but Benedikt Cumberbatch completely stole the show. Considering it is a drama, I laughed unexpectedly often, Patrick really entertained me and his struggle with the urn was flawless. ()

Schöne Verhältnisse (2018) (E02) 

Englisch That is a surprise! The second episode did not bring any humor, unlike the previous part, but it intensified even more. The atmosphere was thick like fog around Rákosníček's pond, thanks to the time travel I could get to know the character of the kind-hearted David Melrose better and the amazing relationships in his family. Hugo Weaving brilliantly replaced the absent Benedict Cumberbatch and I had a great time again. ()

Nette Aussichten (2018) (E03) 

Englisch The third episode, full of action again, but what I find most interesting is that each episode is completely different, and yet I have always had a great time so far. This time, almost everything took place at a high-class party and it was such a snobbish event that I was trembling with excitement. I am still very enthusiastic. ()

Muttermilch (2018) (E04) 

Englisch I'm not sure if it was the atmosphere of summer in France, but this time the pace of the story seemed somewhat slower to me and the plot was not very rich in events. Nevertheless, I found many great moments here, so my satisfaction remains. I simply can't help but enjoy this series. ()

Zu guter Letzt (2018) (E05) 

Englisch Well, the creators concluded their work nicely. The funeral ceremony was of high quality, but the clear star of the final episode was the character Nicholas Pratt. He was such an amazing, snobbish jerk that I would really like to stick some pins into his figurine. As usual, I had a great time, but I must admit that I expected a more depressing ending. ()
