Distinguished by Ella Maisy Purvis' terrific performance, Patience brings a fresh angle to the detective genre through character rather than plotting.

Lisa Weidenfeld Boston Globe No one is getting bundled up in a warm blanket and having a cup of tea to discuss the case. But there is something cozy about its vision of a world of people who strive so much to appreciate and understand someone who’s different from them. Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Not everything makes perfect, or even imperfect, sense. But as always, the plots are there almost as a pretext to spend time with the characters, and the whole cast is good company. Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune The cases themselves are interesting enough and sometimes pivot around an amusing premise. Rated: 3/4 Jun 13, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy While Patience isn’t much different from a dozen shows on air now, like those shows it is driven by a charming lead performance from Ella Maisy Purvis and a desire to support PBS. Rated: 74/100 Jul 26, 2025 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Police procedurals are a dime a dozen, but this series' uncommon empathy for its lead actor, a woman with autism and a talent for detective work, sets it apart from the crowd. Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Miriam Balanescu IGN Movies If you’re looking for a detective show that’s going to refresh one of TV’s most durable genres, you’ll need to try a little patience, and not try a little Patience. Rated: 3/10 Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Shelly W Beautifully written and acted. Good story lines. Enjoyed! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Jack W Not nearly as good as the French original. The writing, acting, direction, all sub par. The mixing of crime drama and autism is a tricky balance, the original got it just right, this doesn’t.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review John E If you are a fan of the French original show this is almost unwatchable. It is a very poor imitation of the original show. Both the writing and the lead actor(s) are not nearly as good. If you want to watch an extremely well-done version of this premise I would highly recommend Astrid et Raphaelle. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Glenn G It is not about complex crime solving and interesting twists. It is about autism and how people deal with it. The first case was resolved almost as an afterthought. Suddenly here is the answer. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review 'Woody' D Fans of Mid Summer Murders, will love Patience. Interesting plots and likeable characters. Nothing heavy. Good acting Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Rosey R Excellent crime series! Love the sensitive exploration of autism and those uncomfortable around Patience finding their own comfort level and acceptence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
