Based on the series of semi-autobiographical novels written by Edward St. Aubyn, the series is described as “an acerbic and fearless look at the protagonist’s harrowing odyssey from a deeply traumatic childhood to his remarkable survival as an adult.” Cumberbatch plays the titular character, who struggles to overcome the damage inflicted by a horribly abusive father and the mother who tacitly condoned his behavior.
