Synopsis
Patience (2025) is a British-Belgian crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Patience Evans catalogues evidence in a Yorkshire police archive — ordered, quiet work that suits her just fine. What no one in the office knows is that the woman behind the filing cabinet has been teaching herself criminology for years.
Ella Maisy Purvis plays Patience as autistic, with a way of reading crime scenes that cuts across standard investigative logic — she catches connections that elude detectives twice her experience. DI Bea Metcalf (Laura Fraser) spots the talent and pulls her into active cases, well outside her job description. Adrian Rawlings and Jessica Hynes round out a cast that keeps the procedural side grounded.
Directed by Maarten Moerkerke, the series doesn't trade in the usual crime-drama tension. The real engine is what it's like to navigate a bureaucratic institution when your mind works differently from the system's assumptions. Stream Patience online on iFILM.
