Anyone watching this? I've watched the first episode and am enjoying it.

Yes, we watched the first episode last night and also enjoyed it. Looks promising.

I watched the first episode and enjoyed the concept but found it frustratingly slow although I recognise the need for that. I will give episode two a go then decide whether to continue.

I thought you were talking about the Gilbert and Sullivan opera

I enjoyed the first episode and have recorded the second as it clashed with Lockerbie which is also proving to be an excellent drama. I thought Patience was a very interesting character and her autism sensitively portrayed . I am looking forward to seeing how the plot develops.

DH and I loved Astrid in Paris - apparently this is the British version. It will be interesting to compare (but we should finish watching ‘North Shore’ first 😁)

I really enjoyed it; different to the usual police dramas. Apparently the actress who plays Patience, is autistic herself.

We are watching it. Almost identical to Astrid in Paris. It is a good watch.

I watched the first episode last night, and thought it was good.

Not keen on the female detective, Laura Someone in RL.

She always looks to be snarling in whatever role she plays.

A bit like Tosh in Shetland.

Have watched the first two, really enjoyed it.

Louella12 Fri 10-Jan-25 07:59:09

Binged this last night. Not bad at all.

BigBertha1 Fri 10-Jan-25 10:14:38

We are really enjoying this and I love the female detective even though she neglecting her parenting duties.

Dint think I saw Astrid in Paris but am enjoying this too.

Thanks everyone. It is now on the list grin

Yes I quite like it, but Ludwig was similar and far better.
I wish they had shown it at a later date so the two didn't influence each other.

Calendargirl Fri 10-Jan-25 13:14:28

Patience was not the same as Ludwig though.

He was able to mix more socially.

This had a great review at the wknd but hadn't noticed it was on last night so thanks for the reminder, will watch it on catch up.

have just watches all episodes and thoroughly enjoyed it, easy to watch, not too complicated. Hopefully there will be a follow up series

Thanks for recommending this. Watched first episode and enjoying it.

I thought the girl who played Patience was very good and, although I didn't like it as much as Ludwig, I enjoyed it.

Ellie Anne Thu 23-Jan-25 19:35:42

Have watched it all. Really good.

Maremia Thu 23-Jan-25 19:57:52

Yes, enjoyed it. Now watching The Island on BBC Alba. It's in gaelic with subtitles.

Franbern Mon 27-Jan-25 08:55:19

I thoroughly enjoyed this serial. Hope there is going to be a second one.

BigBertha1 Mon 27-Jan-25 10:20:49

I do like Patience but I want her to get some trousers that cover her shoes and get a better backpack.
