New Ch4 police drama 'Patience'

I haven't seen it mentioned & I wondered if anyone had watched it. The actress that plays Patience is neurodivergent, the synopsis…

The drama follows police archivist Patience Evans, a young autistic woman with an "instinctive eye for crime scenes", whose talents are spotted by Det Insp Bea Metcalf.

Apparently it is an adaptation of a French drama, 'Astrid', that I haven't seen.

I've found it to be a very good watch & wondered if anybody else had watched too. I will add, some scenes may not be good for everybody, a tad gory maybe.

    Ah thanks for the heads up @JessieJ I'd not heard of that one before! I'm always a bit wary of shows where an autistic person has a super talent, they can often be done in very bad taste. But I'll check this one out.

    You're welcome, @Albus_Scope

    This seems quite good to me & the way it's been written. Although, you may see it differently of course. Give it a try & let me know what you think.
