Channel 4’s new detective show Patience started this week.
Set in York, it stars newcomer Ella Maisy Purvis as Patience, a young archivist at York Police who has a knack for solving crimes. But there’s a twist: Patience is autistic, and the show itself aims to also authentically explore hers (and others’) lived experiences as neurodivergent people in a world that doesn’t feel built for them.
