Episode Synopsis

This six part series now airing in the US on PBS channel and the PBS app is already a hit across the pond. It has been Channel 4's top drama, pulling in more than 4 million viewers per episode and let me tell you... I GET IT! Patience is the titular character in this 6 part series filled with odd and twisty mysteries. What makes this show unique is that the autistic character of Patience is played by an actually autistic actress and if you know me at all, I am an absolute fiend for first person experience and fair representation in film and television. Jack Reacher was 6'5 and 250 lbs in thee book, just saying.Ella Maisey Purvis is BRILLIANT in the role and a darling in real life but don't let that fool you, her wit is sharp, cuttingly so. Check out my interview with Ella and fall in adoration with her like I did.Matt Baker is an incredible and conscientious writer, treading carefully in the world of autism and making sure his cast is comfortable in their roles and his experience speaks for itself. Don't believe me? Check out "Hotel Portofino" and get back to me.Run, don't walk to watch "Patience" It is SO good.If you like what we do (and if you don't!) you could always buy us a kofi! https://ko-fi.com/autimaginationWE LOVE OUR SPONSORS!! Thurocleanfl.com AND OUR NEW BABY an LGBQT and ND owned and operated small business using vegan and organic products to bring you phenomenal smells! Hexennacht.comCheck out Autimagination's affilliates and get 10% off or more using our PROMO CODESNerdyNuts.com PROMO CODE PUPDUFFY10Multitasky.com PROMO CODE PupDuffyJustStrong.com PROMO CODE PupStrong10Eat Your Vitamins!
