Patience on Channel 4

Deleted User

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've now finished it. Am I the only one that couldn't cope with the end? Like I need to know what it was. It will consume so many of my thoughts.

    Yes, the cliffhanger! Annoying, but most shows do this these days. The extra annoying thing is when they do that but the show doesn't get renewed.

    I know there's usually a cliffhanger but I found this one particularly difficult in my "need" to know that unknown piece of information. But yes I hate if a show if left unfinished. I read that Patience has already been renewed for season 2 so I hope that's true.
