In the Yahoo news article with the summary of reviews, the Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly critics weren’t just negative - they were nasty! I hope Benedict refuses to give them interviews from now on.

I don’t think that’s a good idea! lol But *we* actually had history with the EW critic! She also gave one of the very few negative reviews of Patrick Melrose (in the Eric review she kinda suggests that BC isn’t so over the top like in Patrick Melrose) and well, it was a pretty idiotic review in which she basically said that it was a vanity project for BC because he was playing a 20 something and Jennifer Jason Leigh was playing his mother. That was “problematic”! She obviously isn’t one of those informed critics mostly from that past that used to do their job and apparently read the books when they were adapted because they really seemed to knew everything about what they were talking about. She is from the generation in which a financially broken ex popular magazine fired their old respected critics and hired very cheap ignorant young substitutes. She had watched only two episodes and apparently ignored that every episode was in a different decade so yeah, he was a 20 something but later he would be 30 and then 40 and 50 in later episodes. She also ignored the fact that JJL wasn’t playing BC’s mother in the episode in which he was playing a 20 something Patrick Melrose but in the one in which Patrick was played by a child (and that JJL was actually too old to be his mother!). And worst: she tried to make her dislike for the series into something political: it was “problematic” that an actress was playing (the kid’s version) mother of a middle aged male actor playing a 20 something (who in later episodes will play the same character during his middle age and even when the character is older than him). And well, later she wrote a shitty piece about the Emmys in which she straightforwardly cheered for the over the top performance of Darren Criss in the shitty Ryan Murphy’s show and was very relieved that BC didn’t “stole” it from him! She also admitted that friends told her that she should watch the rest of the Patrick Melrose episodes because they were much more subtle that the intentionally over the top first one but that she refused! That’s when I blocked her because it was clear she wasn’t very good in her job and I didn’t want to see her silly opinions on my desk! She liked one of my tweets, tho.! lol

The power of a well promoted Netflix’s show!
