Crime Writers On...True Crime Review
True Crime
Alan Strauss is kidnapped and chained in the basement of his new patient. Sam Fortner reveals he’s a serial killer and wants the therapist to help him change his violent ways. During his captivity Alan ponders his many regrets in life, all while attempting to cure Sam’s murderous urges. Alan knows if he’s unsuccessful and can't prevent his patient from killing again, he’ll surely become his next victim.
In Hulu’s ten-part miniseries “The Patient,” Steve Carell and Domhnall Gleeson each give tightly wound performances. Both men struggle with how their pasts affect their present. Can Alan convince Sam to stop killing in the ultimate test of cerebral fitness?
OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE PATIENT" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 9 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
