Very good show, I have not watched the French show , Astrid, but as I tend to watch my British tv when I am doing something else, I enjoy having this show on so that I can hear the dialog . It is almost cathartic in its calming pace . I needed this showโs story and the relationship between all of the characters. I love how Bea is understanding of Patienceโs role in the story due to her condition. It is nice to see Mark Benton in a new series as a different character than he is in Shakespeare and Hathaway
