Anyone watched Patience on PBS?

A new crime drama where the person in charge of records is autistic and possesses a unique way of looking at data.

Just watched the first episode. Interesting.

Quite an interesting twist at the end of the episode to boot. I'm curios to see where this goes next week and afterward.

Yes.

With the penultimate episode of Season 1 coming out this Sunday on PBS, star Ella Maisy Purvis talked with us about the possibility of a Patience Season 2.

Patience stars Purvis as Patience Evans, a woman in her early 20s with autism who works in a the York Criminal Records Office. Her life gets turned upside-down by an unexpected partnership with Detective Inspector Bea Metcalf (Laura Fraser), who notices her keen eye for detail. Patience’s ability to notice patterns in even the trickiest of cases is a credit to her neurodivergent brain. While her neurodivergence is a strength in this regard — it even helps Bea understand her own child better — it does still plague Patience with social difficulties. There are people at her office who think Patience is more of a suspect than a help in these high-profile cases, causing her stress and unease. But as time goes on, Patience and Bea’s relationship strengthens and improves both of their lives for the better.

Purvis, who is autistic herself, shares what’s ahead for the drama...

My only real complaint is with the six-episode season format. Just like any show from the UK, you just get into a season and it's over. That of course is not the fault of the creative team, so I will just congratulate them on a season well done.
