No, it did not end up the way I hoped it would. And that bothered me. As I thought about it, I realized this is what made it so good, at least for me. Any time a show or movie completes and I am sitting thinking to myself "this doesn't feel right. It doesn't seem fair," I know I will be thinking about it for the next couple of days. To me, that's the whole point of any quality drama. Does it have an emotional impact?
I would say "The Patient" met that goal for me. I think it could've worked as a binge, but I also appreciated the week between each episode to digest what was going on. Contrary to some other reviewers, I thought there was a lot of depth and complexity in the main characters and even the supporting characters. I did not feel there was a single throwaway character introduced during the entire show.
There were so many possibilities built up toward the end, I found myself rooting for the all too common "satisfactory ending." I didn't get that from "The Patient" and I found that I'm challenged by how the show made me feel. To me, that's good stuff and all too rare.
