The Patient Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025Really 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.
- Sheila RoseMarch 3, 2026As someone who worked on this show I am totally bias but it’s also damn good!! Steve Carell is such a versatile actor! Definitely worth a watch
