oriane Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 What do you think about that Patrick Melrose TV show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Melrose_(TV_series) ? I feel it's so relevant about many subject people bring here. About peaceful parenting, abuse and difficulties to go on with life and to not stick with memories of a difficult childhood.
Siegfried von Walheim Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 My beef with the show is that it's about yet another Hollywood-esque distantly-noble family with a creepy and abusive Dad (who I won't spoil--I know the ending from my mother who watched it) and a horribly negligent Mom. I don't know if there's a happy/inspirational ending but if there isn't it's basically masochism/sadism in the form of a show. I don't really care for shows/literature/games that portray horrible evil but don't have some sort of inspirational comeback and thus a lesson to combat that evil. Also it's British and I don't like British TV. Too A.D.D. for my taste. Not that modern American film is much better but the East Asians do pacing and information much better and thus are the best filmmakers of our generation.
