This blackly humorous drama follows Patrick from his childhood trauma at the hands of an abusive father (Hugo Weaving, “The Lord of the Rings” and “Matrix” films) and neglectful mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh, “The Hateful Eight”), to the peak of his heroin addiction, and his attempts to stay sober and support his family. The series also stars Blythe Danner (“Meet the Parents”), Allison Williams (“Get Out”), Jessica Raine (“Call the Midwife,” “Partners in Crime”) and Indira Varma (“Game of Thrones”). The miniseries aired on Showtime in the U.S.  

The DVD and Blu-ray two-disc sets each feature five episodes, plus bonus a five-minute behind-the-scenes featurette about the making of the miniseries and a 36-page booklet with cast and crew interviews. The two-disc DVD/Blu-ray sets each contain five episodes, and are available for $39.99 (SRP).
