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 Dustin Rowles Pajiba It’s not a cozy series, but it is a comfortable one, with compelling characters, intriguing cases, and a vibe somewhere between a broadcast procedural and a prestige streamer. Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider This heroine’s solemn demeanor, which brightens beautifully during “eureka” moments of discovery, distinguishes her from the pack... The tension between her undeniable talent and her understandable insecurities makes Patience a winner. Rated: 4/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The show more often than not shows what a neurodivergent person can bring to a complex job like policing.

Cathy M Astrid is 100 times better, more dynamic characters and Sara Mortensen is A++. Patience is a dull rip off. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Patricia M It is astonishing that IMDB does not give credit to what this series is based on, stolen from -the French series Astrid. No credit given and it' almost word for word. Astrid is a glorious series. May this one come close. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Antrat 1 A predictable whodunit show. Likeable characters even if it is filled with the modern tropes of the evil white guys taking credit for other's work. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review cathy s Wasn’t expecting much as I found by accident but this series has really intrigued me. The 2 lead actors are female and their acting understated which made the slightly extreme plots seem believable. Interesting and touching to understand more about being autistic in the workplace. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Elspeth F Such an excellent and fun and sweet depiction of a young woman with outstanding intelligence and capabilities. Its been curious to me to see the dismissive reviews, talking about how this show just plays into existing autism tropes.. honestly, I think the difference with this show and probably part of peoples defensive aggression towards the show or the character is that unlike professor T where hes set up to be the comical tragic hero and pitiful in his quirks because of his spectrum behavior, Patience is delightful and we get to see the world from within her view, as she is befriended and stood up for by the senior detective. Its not possible for her to be even subtly be the butt of any "just joking, but still actually humiliating" stereotypes, because without sentimentality or tropes, or holding up the story, we are invited to empathise with her, in a delightful way. I think its a shame some of those reviewers dont see what they are doing, deflecting from the whole point of the story, because they are either unwilling or unable to take up the invitation. I think its a beautiful, well paced, interesting series of detective stories, with some beautiful reversals of power dynamics that are actually the common tropes, so its a refreshing and gorgeous little show, and Id love to see series two and three get the green light, because its fun, unexpected, and warmhearted, the way neurodivergent life often also is. A sweet little rainy evening watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Audience Member I don't watch series where the writers think I'm an idiot. After a character in the morgue "got up and walked" after a procedure that should have at least seriously injured him, I turned off this series and do not recommend it to anyone.
