I Know This Much Is True is HBO’s latest hit drama series as fans can’t stop praising Mark Ruffalo’s emotional and impactful performance. If you missed the first episode of the miniseries, catch up on HBO Now, and please note there are spoilers ahead for the series premiere ahead.
The first episode of I Know This Much Is True introduces audiences to Thomas and Dominick Birdsey (Mark Ruffalo takes on both roles), two twin brothers that couldn’t be more different. Thomas is a paranoid schizophrenic, and after a public breakdown, Dominick steps up to defend him, but there’s not much he can do for his brother as the breakdown was rather graphic.
This isn’t Dominick’s only problem, unfortunately, he is also emotionally dealing with a “fresh” breakup and is trying to get some of his grandfather’s work translated. Add the loss of his mother and you’ve got a very depressed and messed up man.
