Fans of the new FX series “The Patient” are expressing a mix of enthusiasm and confusion online. While the show’s premise is deemed “unnecessary” and “derivative” by some, the performances are drawing praise.
Colin Farrell’s charisma shines through even with heavy prosthetics and padding, with many highlighting Cristin Milioti as the standout performer. Fans also appreciate the supporting cast, including Victor’s actor, Michael Zegen, and Michael Kelly.
However, some fans are puzzled by the casting of Mark Strong in place of John Turturro, expressing their disappointment over the change.
The show has also sparked discussion about the aging of actors, with viewers noting Max Medina’s (from “Gilmore Girls”) apparent age, and Shohreh Aghdashloo’s distinctive smoker’s voice.
The show’s success remains to be seen, but the lively online conversation reveals a mix of intrigue and debate among fans.
