Adapted from the critically acclaimed French series Astrid, British crime drama Patience is making its stateside debut tonight after premiering across the pond on Channel 4 this past January.
Airing on PBS this Sunday, June 15 at 8pm Eastern Time, the intriguing detective drama stands out from recent entries in the genre because it centers on Patience Evans (played by autistic actress Ella Maisy Purvis), a young woman with autism who works in the York Criminal Records Office. Her life changes when seasoned Detective Inspector Bea Metcalf (Laura Fraser) recognizes Patience's unique powers of deduction and asks her to join her investigative team.
