Patients, New Channel 4 series.

A new series starts soon about a self taught criminologist who is autistic. The trailer looks promising, the actor is autistic and has ADHD, she played the part of Bonnie in A Kind Of Spark.

The original series was French and called Astrid et Raphaelle. It had very good reviews.

I’ve added a link to the trailer for anyone who’s interested.

  • From what I understand, and not having seen the French version yet is that Ella Maisy Purvis is autistic herself and the French actress isn't. I do still intend to watch the French version one day, though.

  • Autistic representation grows stronger because the chosen actor deeply comprehends the character he portrays. The original Astrid et Raphaëlle showed excellence which has me wondering about the new interpretation.

  • New series of Astrid started on Channel 4 a couple of weeks ago for anyone who is interested and can either speak French or doesn't mind subtitles :-)

  • It is called Patience. Easy to do with spell checker but most of thd comments are there. 

  • I saw it in the TV guide earlier and thought it looked interesting.

  • thanks for the tip  :-) - full 3 series of original Astrid (is available with subtitles as "Astrid Murder in Paris")  via this: Watch Astrid: Murder in Paris | Stream free on Channel 4

  • I saw the trailer because of a NAS social media post. It looks good. It looks like my wife will enjoy it too, which helps.

  • I saw the trailer for it and thought it looked promising. Here’s hoping it’s not like the good doctor Fingers crossed
