Have Some Patience
In this episode of The D.I. Download, host Michael T. explores PBS’s 2025 breakout series Patience. The show centers on Patience Evans, a neurodivergent civilian sleuth working for Yorkshire police—a character brought to life by newcomer Ella Maisy Purvis in a deeply nuanced performance. From autism representation to crime-solving through observation, Michael digs into what makes Patience refreshingly sharp, surprisingly heartfelt, and stylistically British. Expect reflections on York's moody charm, Laura Fraser’s role as D.I. Metcalf, and how quiet minds often spot what loud ones miss.
