PATIENCE, SEASON 2 (PBS)

I enjoyed Season 1 of Patience (you can read my review here) and started watching Season 2. Patience is a British–Belgian detective drama television series starring Ella Maisy Purvis as autistic police archivist Patience Evans. Set in York, England, Patience was adapted from the critically acclaimed French television series, Astrid.

While Season 1 of Patience had six episodes, Season 2 has eight. The big change is that Patience’s mentor, Laura Fraser as DI Bea Metcalf, has left the series and her replacement is the surly Jessica Hynes as DI Frankie Monroe. DI Monroe does not welcome Patience’s insights–even when those insights solve the murder case.

A third season has been given the Green Light so we’ll have more of crime solving by a brilliant young woman to look forward to. GRADE: Incomplete but treading towards a B+
