The PatientOverviewTherapist Alan Strauss is held prisoner by a patient, Sam Fortner, who reveals himself to be a serial killer. Sam has an unusual therapeutic demand for Alan: curb his homicidal urges. In order to survive, Alan must unwind Sam's disturbed mind and stop him from killing again... but Sam refuses to address critical topics, like his mother Candace. Alone in captivity, Alan excavates his own past through memories of his old therapist and grapples with waves of his own repressed troubles – the recent death of his wife and the painful estrangement from his religious son Ezra. Over the course of his imprisonment, Alan uncovers not only how deep Sam's compulsion runs, but also how much work he has to do to repair the rift in his own family. With time running out, Alan fights desperately to stop Sam before Alan becomes complicit in Sam's murders or worse – becomes a target himself.First airedAugust 30, 2022URL slugthe-patientGenres미니시리즈드라마범죄스릴러아트워크포스터배경아이콘배너시즌스페셜에피소드 0개시즌 1에피소드 10개출연진 및 제작진출연진Steve Carell — Alan StraussDomhnall Gleeson — Sam FortnerLinda Emond — Candace FortnerLaura Niemi — BethAndrew Leeds — Ezra StraussDavid Alan Grier — Charlie
