Patience on Channel 4

Martyn

Did anyone watch 'Patience' on Channel 4 last night?

It's the UK remake of the French series, 'Astrid et Raphaelle', featuring a young autistic woman who works in criminal records. She has a photographic memory for cases and tries to insert herself into investigations.

Unlike the French series, the UK one (filmed in York) features autistic actors in all of the autistic roles. I've watched the French series, which I really enjoyed. 

My initial impressions of Patience is that it looks and feels quite different, and I really liked Ella Maisy Purvis as Patience. It seemed a much more natural performance than Sara Mortensen in Astrid.

It's on the Channel 4 streaming service and the second episode is on TV at 9pm tonight.

  • I'm watching it now on catch up. The support group scene was a bit unsettling for me.

    The overall perception or view is very narrow, a gifted but different and often misunderstood young woman navigating the often difficult situation she is presented with.

    The performances are good and I get a sense of the growing empathy and understanding from the detective, particularly in the light of her acceptance of her son's pending diagnosis. (Spoiler alert).

    I've got one more episode to go. Overall I'm enjoying the drama and better representation.
