The Patient: Intake (2022)
Season 1, Episode 1
7/10
Too short
30 August 2022
It's a shame because if they released all of the episodes at once, the suspense would make sense. By the time the next episode comes out a week from now, all of the tension and mystery will be long gone and it's easy to assume that the next episode will likely leave me feeling the same. Drawn out Tarantino-like establishing shots work in Tarantino movies because they're typically 3 hours long. It doesn't work in a 20 minute episode once a week. It's too slow for the short run time and spread out episode releases.

All of that being said, I have enjoyed it so far but I'll probably wait until they release all of the episodes so I can actually get the experience they were going for until Hulu made the terrible decision to space it out weekly. Taking a series that would make a heck of a weekend binge watch and dragging it out over 2 months.
