Mulheres de Azul

"Las Azules" is a show that deeply resonated with me, prompting much reflection from the very first episode. I felt an immediate sense of connection and welcome, largely due to the series' authenticity and its groundbreaking portrayal of women entering the police force in Mexico City. The show offers a realistic and captivating depiction of the unique challenges and experiences faced by women in this field

The series stands out for its innovative approach to storytelling, incorporating feminine perspectives and issues that are often overlooked in mainstream media. The attention to detail in depicting the nuances of female experiences adds a layer of depth that enriches the narrative. Seeing these authentic and sometimes difficult aspects of women's lives represented on screen is both refreshing and enlightening. "Las Azules" offers a unique and insightful perspective on our world, making it a significant contribution to both television and the broader conversation about life, gender roles, and representation. I'm genuinely pleased that the show addresses these special details with such sensitivity and depth.

I lived in Mexico City in the 70's and I remember how sexist everything was, so it's not hard to believe that the first female officers had to put up with dismissive, sexist attitudes from the male officers. I was also a police officer in America in the 80's and things hadn't changed that much in ten years. Even today most people outside of policing have the belief that being an officer is all about how strong you are and how fast you can run and little to do with your intelligence and your ability to communicate with anyone in the public. Women are great at this and are more likely to get a person to cooperate than want to fight them. But if they have to fight they can. Women have a place in the criminal justice system despite what some people think.

As far as the show, female officers were forced to wear those ridiculous skirts which obviously made their jobs even harder. The women are looking into details of the case that the detectives are ignoring in order to get an arrest for a serial killer, regardless if that person didn't do it. This actually happened a lot in the 1970's when the technology didn't exist (in America either) to tie someone to a crime. Much of it was circumstantial. I have just finished episode 3 and I find it intriguing enough to keep watching. The sexism is hard to watch as it brings up bad memories, but at least it's realistic.

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.

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.
