Patience - channel 4

[Alickadoo]

New programme started tonight.

Somewhat in the style of Mr T. This is an autistic woman working in the police records department.

Watchable. Is it slow moving? Or is that deliberate to perversely keep our attention.

I thought it was good and plan to binge over the next few days.

It finally came to me (without using IMDb!) who the lead lady detective is: Lydia from Madrigal out of Breaking Bad Scottish, but flawless US accent in that, flawless southeast England accent in this

Yes, she is a very good actor.

Just started watching, enjoyed so far.
If anyone is enjoying this I would recommend giving Astrid on Walter presents/ all 4 a try, very similar.

It is the same, Just given a UK slant. Have to say the French Version (Astrid, in Paris) is far superior. The lass who plays Astrid (Sara Mortensen) plays the Autistic lead brilliantly.

Storyline from the first Astrid : Mr Lenoire, Member of the European Parliament, withdraws 8000 euros from his bank and deposits the envelope with the money in a bin. In a car park he burns himself to death. Raphaëlle Coste is the police in charge of the investigation. She meets by chance Astrid Nielsen, a worker in the police files department who is a little different in her behaviour.—

I have watched 2 episodes so far and sort of enjoyed it. I say sort of as it felt like there was 10-15 minutes missing from the second episode.

Will watch more of it though and see how it progresses.

I have now watched 2 episodes. I felt they jumped to a convenient conclusion quite quickly.

It is watchable tosh. I will watch more.

I'm 4 episodes in and although I like it, it's getting a bit repetitive. I read that the actress Ella Maisy Purvis, who plays Patience, is autistic, which probably explains why she plays the role so well. Also, Laura Fraser is a much underrated actor, in my opinion.
