Women in Blue

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.

Shogun is definitely the best series I have seen this year... objectively speaking, but Las Azules is putting me to the test... and it's doing so in a big way. I just love this series! It completely caught me by surprise.

The first two episodes are more of a comedy, somewhat in the spirit of Police Academy. In the 1970s, a serial killer is on the loose in Mexico City, hunting women. And to improve the image of the authorities and law enforcement, for the first time in history, women are allowed to join the police. And that's how we meet the four protagonists. They are all completely different (even though two are sisters), but they are united by their desire to catch the killer. Of course, no one takes them seriously at first, and those first two episodes are mostly about making fun of women in the police force by ultra-conservative old-timers. But it turns out that their detective skills and determination quickly lead our heroines to new clues.

Here, I have to say that the investigation and serial killer plot is almost on the level of Mindhunter. I really think so, as the layers of the story are revealed brilliantly, and most importantly, it makes sense and feels like something that truly happened (the series is inspired by real events). With each episode, the atmosphere thickens and becomes more serious. The personal storylines are also very well developed. Not only are the main characters multidimensional, but even the dull policemen guys are well-written. They're not black-and-white either; they also struggle with the pressures of working in the police force.

All in all it was a fantastic first season. This show deserves to be more popular.

"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).

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.

"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.
