The more convoluted the cases, the more the young woman’s talents can be put on display. But, as in many memorable detective stories, it is the characters and relationships that separate the petty larceny of one’s time from the grand theft of one’s full attention. Read full review

As always, the plots are there almost as a pretext to spend time with the characters, and the whole cast is good company. But Purvis especially, in spite of Patience’s self-containment, radiates quiet charisma — new-star power. A second season, happily, is already on the cards. Read full review

The tension between her undeniable talent and her understandable insecurities makes Patience a winner in its first six-episode season, with a second season underway. Read full review

The term used to describe this kind of show is often “cozy,” but it doesn’t quite fit here. 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. Read full review

There’s much to get your teeth into here. A shame, then, that the plotting lets it down. Read full review

The Telegraph Chris Bennion

Jan 8, 2025

The murders are appropriately baroque for this sort of Euro-procedural, while Fraser and Purvis are always watchable, even if the premise begins to wear thin as the series evolves. Read full review

It’s heavy on exposition and light on substance, not only managing to sideline the lead in her own series but stopping short of giving a satisfying resolution to its murders too. Read full review
