Mulheres de Azul

The characters in this show are wonderfully written and acted. I really hope they develop a second (and maybe more!?) season so these beautiful characters can continue to evolve. It's fascinating how these women in the show are able to work around the rules of the time to still do their jobs as detectives when social norms at the time did not accept women in these types of roles of employment. The show gives newer generation a look at what it was like for women to enter the work force when society, and even a lot of families/men, wanted to keep women at home tending house and raising children.

I enjoyed this show. Great writing and acting. The cast is great, I was hooked after the first episode.

Barbara Mori is great, have seen her in other shows and movies and she does a great job in this one.

The actress who plays Gabina is great too. You really end up caring for the characters and the struggles they go through in a male dominated career.

The actress who plays Valentina is great too. Fiery and does a great job on the show.

I am picky with what I watch, so many bad shows on tv and my wife and I struggle to find something to watch together but this show won us over.

It's great to see latinas/latinos getting opportunities in front od the camera. Great job Apple tv.

"The Blues" (original title: "Las Azules") is an authentic time machine, perfectly capturing Mexico in the 1970s. This is not only achieved through its visual adaptation but also through its faithful representation of the idiosyncrasies of that era.

I can understand how this portrayal might disturb some viewers; however, I can attest to its accuracy, having grown up in Mexico City during the 1970s. The depiction of a misogynistic society and the corruption of official institutions may provoke discomfort, making some question whether things were truly that bad and corrupt. This show reminded me: yes, they were, but with the important note that times have changed, or at least we aspire them to be different now.

The storyline is engaging, and the slower moments serve to deepen character development, making us care about their inevitable fate-presented with a hint of optimism, by the way.

I highly recommend this show, provided you're willing to acknowledge that what was considered "normal" back then no longer is. But isn't that what societal evolution is all about?

I absolutely loved this show. I had no idea what to expect when I started watching and the first two episodes were a bit scattershot, but after that I would say Women In Blue is pretty much perfect.

On top of being a great story with drama, tension, humour, passion, etc., the production values are simply outstanding. The re-creation of the early 1970s is so well done - from the cinematography and music to the costuming and the entire look of the series.

Honestly, I can't find one thing to fault about this series, other than the fact that it's on Apple TV+ and will be totally ignored by most of the tv audience around the world. Like so many of the shows that I love on Apple, very few people will ever discover this amazing, entertaining, immaculate piece of television perfection. I give this a 9.8.

BTW - The last episode is set up perfectly for another season, so PLEASE, Apple TV+, give us more of Women in Blue.

"Women in Blue" is a show that pulls you in right from the start. The plot is intriguing, and the acting is solid, making it a series you'll want to keep watching. Each episode builds on the last, keeping you curious about what will happen next. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy to connect with the story. The pacing is smooth, so it's easy to watch several episodes in a row without getting bored. If you enjoy crime dramas or just want something entertaining, "Women in Blue" is a great choice. The show's ability to keep you guessing while still delivering satisfying conclusions is a testament to its excellent writing and direction. It's not just the plot that's engaging; the cinematography and music also add a layer of richness (love the soundtrack).
