Decider

Patience continues to be an effective mystery series because of Ella Maisy Purvis’ portrayal of a person who is on the autism spectrum who puts her abilities to use in the best way she knows how.

Wall Street Journal

What’s off about Patience is a seesawing set of symptoms. Adding to the addled chemistry of the eight new episodes—which begin with a rather too-gruesome case of impalement, blood-sucking and vampiric accessories—Frankie seems to get more screen time than Patience. .... Ms. Purvis is fun to watch, however off-balance her screen time.
