Women in Blue is a Spanish crime drama series created by Pablo Aramendi and Fernando Rovzar. Inspired by true events, the Apple TV+ series is a riveting experience with great characters and a thrilling story, that keeps you engaged throughout all of its episodes. Women in Blue stars an entirely Hispanic cast led by Ariel Award nominee Bárbara Mori.

The Apple TV+ crime drama series is set in 1971 and it follows the story of four women who become Mexico’s first female friends while a dangerous serial killer racks up his body count. Soon, they find out that their recruitment is nothing more than a PR stunt by the officials to distract the public from the serial killer case and they decide to catch the killer themselves.

Women in Blue consists of ten episodes in total.

Queens on the Run (Fuga de reinas) is a Mexican comedy directed by Jorge Macaya and starring Martha Higareda, Paola Nuñez, Alejandra Ambrosi, Valeria Vera.

A funny Mexican movie that, between Thelma and Louise and Sky Rojo, takes us to the adventures of four very nice women.

Very entertaining, it delves more in the funny and sympathetic tone than in the thriller.

Without being the movie of our lives, it achieves what it intends: to make us have a good time without disturbing us too much.

Simple.

Movie Review

Funny, good rhythm, excellent comic performances, exaggeratedly self-conscious: four great protagonists with whom to spend two hours and, unfortunately, forget about them after ten minutes.

With Queens on the Run we are clear about it after five minutes: it only aims to entertain, following usual plots and with a hint of parody to American cinema and the classic road movies with women characters.

The fifth edition will see the TV festival return to its original springtime slot to run alongside MipTV.

French Oscar-winning director Xavier De Lestrade’s investigative thriller The Inside Game, Seeds Of Wrath and Danish bio-series The Dreamer – Becoming Karen Blixen are among the 10 new series selected for competition in the upcoming edition of French TV festival Canneseries (April 1-6).

The fifth edition sees the event return its traditional springtime slot coinciding with the MipTV content market (April 4-6), after the festival moved to September in 2021 due to the Covid-pandemic.
