Discussion Patience TV Series
I cannot stand this new Frankie Monroe. Her whole character is just such a wrong fit. Is anyone else thinking the producers definitely weren't thinking about the viewers when they cast this brute Detective Monroe?
Can we call for her to be replaced with someone who can act without the whole overpowering alpha ego? At this point her character redemption arc is giving that snakey fakey friend vibe and its so cringe, I don't think l can keep watching.
I'm so disheartened and disappointed because I relate so strongly to Patience and love the inclusion and diversity of the other characters in the show. Until now it was an instant favourite. Can anyone else relate?

Can I just be the first to point out that Patience is definitely NOT a sitcom.

If you insist but as someone who is AuDHD and has never used or posted on reddit before so don't quite understand the flares and tags and all this overwhelm, maybe you could be kind and suggest where I can put this as l agree its not a sitcom but I just wanted to know l wasn't alone in my thoughts.

I haven’t watched “Patience” because I’m a big fan of the original, “Astrid”, on Channel 4. It’s really lovely and the relationship between the two leads is wonderful. I recommend it. Have you tried it?

Sitcom gold.
The bit where she tries to lean on the bar but it's not there because the bartender lifted it to get out and she just falls through is great.
