La ley de Lidia Poët

The show maybe inspired by a true story but don't go looking for a factual period piece. Instead, its an enjoyable show about a woman who is intelligent, knows what she wants, and refuses to be put in a box by anyone.

Along with her strong moments of proving herself on the show its also endearing to watch her navigate in a man's world that constantly tries to control her and often fails.

I like the lead actress - she brings the right amount of spunk and softness to her role. This is a light show with interesting cases but nothing too intense.

Overall its a fun watch and definitely worth another season.

Great period piece depicting the s**t women had to put up with then. In almost every one of her scenes, she had a different dress, and they were all beautiful. Kudos to the costume designer. I like their keeping with the authentic and historical production too. The typewriter, the lamps used in the homes, in the street and when using the lamps in searching for clues. Although I usually don't like dark scenes, the director kept it dark and real. Some movies have the scenes suddenly brighten up when a little candle is lit! I hope to see a sequel with Lidia and look forward to netflix producing it very soon.

A very very enjoyable series only 2 episodes in and impressed ! Besides being a thinking. Feeling work of art, it injects slight comic, undertones that you actually feel tickled , and giggle , even when you know how important the case is . The leading lady is a superb actress , the costume design for her just brings out her role although where in that period she could have found such fashion , all of that only brings you back to HER and just how good of an actress she is. It's like a law and order of the period. So wished she could have more allies to trust and were in a place of power not that she needs the help. This IS good , very good , I'm already hoping that someone sees a second season ,

Enjoyable stories although reasonably simple in design (which makes it easy to follow and watch), good acting, stylish locations, excellent lighting, rich and colourful quality costumes, and beautiful lead actress. Dubbing in English is also quite good.

I was hooked from the 1st episode and enjoyed the scenario of a woman battling against the male prejudice in the legal profession within a period setting. All the men underestimate her and are challenged by her education and ideas. As a man myself I think it is great to watch her succeeding and overcoming the challenges. I do hope that they decide to make more series going forwards.

The main character is destitute but wears the most visually intoxicating Italian influenced outfits, she is sexually active but not worried about pregnancy, in pre-birth control Italy. The opportunity to expose 'breastage' is always taken, adding mixed aura to a supposed interest in women's rights....and there are other liberties taken: Accept these items and it is a fun series. The aesthetics of 19th century Italy are very pleasurable part of the show.

The main character is determined for sure, and caged in the categories which caged women of the time - there is a way in which uncaged women (prostitutes and other) are rather immediately protrayed as good and the women who follow the categories of the time are presented as bad, that seems simplistic. This adds a comic book feel to the series: Again once accepted, the series remains enjoyable. Comic book is an very viable art form so this is not necessarily bad.

The objectification of women, despite the series clear commitment to their liberty, seems confusing. But of course as a gratuitous pleasure device it works- as we are of course very used to this device culturally.

I feel the show however does have its most merit as it penetrates into the continued door closing performed by dominant cultural mechanisms, which forces the heroine's side navigations - the intricate undercover journey to address issues with some effect and integrity. That feels accurate to my experience with dominant culture as it manifest with its continued, even comical support of mechanisms for sidelining needed offerings. This study of cultural sidelining, seems like, the most worthy and authentic exploration of the show.
