The Patient
A psychotherapist who finds himself being held captive by a serial killer with an unusual request: curb his homicidal urges. As the therapist unravels this man's mind, he also has to deal with his own repressed troubles, creating a journey that's just as treacherous as his imprisonment.

Really liked this for the most part. As is typical for a lot of these limited series, I don’t think they always justify their length. That said, I wasn’t really ever hoping this would end even if it dragged some in the second half. I didn’t always buy into this somewhat ridiculous premise, but it’s pretty fun to suspend your disbelief to watch Domhnall Gleeson and Steve Carell in these roles, both of whom are really excellent. Ultimately, I think this is a worthwhile watch that has satisfying and emotionally resonant finale.
