Here’s how profoundly director Edward Berger was affected by the Patrick Melrose novels: He remembers the exact bookstore where he discovered them. “In 1993 or something I walked into St. Mark’s Bookshop [in New York] and looked for a book and stumbled upon the first book of Patrick Melrose, ‘Never Mind.’ And I just devoured it.”
With every new release of Edward St. Aubyn’s work, he “just gobbled them up,” so when he heard that the books were in development for a potential series, he immediately put himself up for the job of bringing them to the screen.

Born in Germany, Berger has shifted between film and TV for years, with recent credits including “Deutschland 83,” “The Terror,” and the independent film “Jack,” a Golden Berlin Bear...
