The Patient Synopsis
What can you expect from the psychological thriller series? The 1 hour and 48 minutes trailer have laid it all out. Steve Carell plays the role of a psychotherapist Alan Strauss who is held hostage by a young man who claims to be a serial killer. Sam Fortner, played by the Irish actor, held Alan captive and asked him to help him with his disturbed mind. Sam Fortner confessed that he gets sudden homicidal urges and begs the therapist to control these urges.
Whenever Sam is alone, he revisits the repressed memories of his old therapist named Charlie. The bitter memories of his wife Beth, whose death he recently witnessed, and his son Ezra who left him, also trouble him at times. Alan learns a lot about Sam in the span of his confinement. He wants Sam to be directed to the right path, but it seems like he has a long way to go. Alan also feels a looming fear that he might fail to help Sam from escaping his unsettling mind. There’s also a possibility that haunts Alan Strauss the most, that Sam might kill him.
The characters Candace, Alan’s mother, is played by Linda Marie Emond, and Ezra is played by the actor and comedian Andrew Leeds. Other cast members include Laura Niemi, Alex Rich, and David Alan Grier. The trailer has already increased our expectations. Only time can tell if it matches reality.
