'Patience' Is a British Crime Show With Great Autistic Representation

On the surface, Patience may appear to be like any other police procedural set in Britain. A closer look reveals that Patience is unique in its inclusion of a neurodivergent lead character, Patience Evans. As a self-trained archivist in the records department of the City of York police, Patience Evans is played by Ella Maisy Purvis. Patience and Detective Inspector Bea Metcalf (Laura Fraser) begin working together to solve a case of mysterious suicides, with the former bringing her brilliance into the investigation somewhat unwillingly.
