(5,828 posts)1. I did, and enjoyed it as well.
Quite an interesting twist at the end of the episode to boot. I'm curios to see where this goes next week and afterward.

(1,641 posts)4. Will there be a Season 2?
Yes.
With the penultimate episode of Season 1 coming out this Sunday on PBS, star Ella Maisy Purvis talked with us about the possibility of a Patience Season 2.
Patience stars Purvis as Patience Evans, a woman in her early 20s with autism who works in a the York Criminal Records Office. Her life gets turned upside-down by an unexpected partnership with Detective Inspector Bea Metcalf (Laura Fraser), who notices her keen eye for detail. Patiences ability to notice patterns in even the trickiest of cases is a credit to her neurodivergent brain. While her neurodivergence is a strength in this regard it even helps Bea understand her own child better it does still plague Patience with social difficulties. There are people at her office who think Patience is more of a suspect than a help in these high-profile cases, causing her stress and unease. But as time goes on, Patience and Beas relationship strengthens and improves both of their lives for the better.
Purvis, who is autistic herself, shares whats ahead for the drama...
