Patrick Melrose

Whether he's playing the eccentric Sherlock Holmes or Marvel's Doctor Strange, Benedict Cumberbatch has proven that he can charm his way out of anything - even as a privileged drug - addicted British aristocrat in the five-part miniseries Patrick Melrose.
Cumberbatch plays the titular Patrick Melrose, a man with a troubled past that is too heavy to live with sober. Constantly, his past haunts him, pushing him to indulge in all kinds of drug even as he desperately seeks a way out.

Insecure S3

Insecure S3 picks up where we left off - Issa is sleeping on Daniel's couch but as you guessed - this was a terrible idea given their history. But just like it made the decision to leave Lawrence in the past, it doesn't take long before Insecure shows Daniel the door too, allowing Issa space to breath and pick up her mess of a life. She moves into a new house, and even lands a side hustle as a Lyft driver - an opportunity that comes with new love interest, Nathan, played by Kendrick Sampson (How to Get Away with Murder).
