I Know This Much Is True

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425118

Middle-aged Dominick Birdsey recounts his troubled relationship with Thomas, his paranoid schizophrenic twin brother, and his efforts to get him released from an asylum.

Fantastic little mini series, really enjoyed it, stellar cast and fantastic acting all round.
I believe it is available on Sky Atlantic and Now TV

Quite a slow burner and very intense.
Up to episode 5 and still not sure where it is going.
The one standout is the performance of Mark Ruffalo who plays the parts of twin brothers who although identical are also very different (watch it and you will see what I mean).
Quite frankly an amazing acting performance where you quickly forget that the brothers are played by the same actor, he convinces the viewers that they are completely different people.
Fantastic acting that has me compelled to keep watching even if the storyline is a bit shaky.

Quite a performance isn't it. I actually had to double check if he had a twin brother as I was honestly unaware he was playing both parts to start with

Sounds explosive! (Sorry)
